Fisher and Ludlow, a Nucor Company,
Saegertown, Pennsylvania; Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On May 28, 2014, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of Fisher and Ludlow, a Nucor
Company, Saegertown, Pennsylvania
(subject firm). The Department’s Notice
was published in the Federal Register
on June 13, 2014 (79 FR 33955).
The group eligibility requirements for
workers of a firm under Section
246(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
(I) Whether a significant number of
workers in the workers’ firm are 50 years of
age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers’
firm possess skills that are not easily
transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the
workers’ industry (i.e., conditions within the
industry are adverse).
The negative determination for ATAA
was based on the findings that Section
246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) was not met because
the workers in the workers’ firm possess
skills that are easily transferrable and
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) was not met
because conditions within the workers’
industry were not found to be adverse.

revealed that the group eligibility
requirements under Section

Apria Healthcare, LLC, Billing
Department, Overland Park, Kansas;
Notice of Revised Determination on
Remand
On February 28, 2014, the U.S. Court
of International Trade (USCIT) granted
the U.S. Department of Labor’s
(Department’s) motion for voluntary
remand for further investigation in
Former Employees of Apria Healthcare,
LLC, Billing Department, Overland Park,
Kansas v. U.S. Secretary of Labor, Case
No. 13–00409.
On June 24, 2013, the state workforce
office filed a petition for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on behalf
of workers of Apria Healthcare, LLC
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘the subject
firm’’), Billing Department, Overland
Park Kansas (TA–W–82,838; hereafter
referred to as ‘‘the Billing Department’’),
and Apria Healthcare, LLC, Document
Imaging Department, Overland Park,
Kansas (TA–W–82,838A; hereafter
referred to as ‘‘the Document Imaging
Department’’).

The initial investigation revealed that
workers within the Billing Department
were engaged in employment related to
the supply of medical billing services;
workers within the Document Imaging
Department were engaged in
employment related to the supply of
patient record management services;
workers within the two different
departments were separately
identifiable by services performed and,
therefore, were treated as separate
subject worker groups; and a significant
number or proportion of workers within
each subject worker group were totally
or partially separated from employment.
Although certification was granted for
the Document Imaging Department
under TA–W–82,838A, a negative
determination was initially made
regarding the Billing Department under
TA–W–82,838. The Department
determined that the subject firm
acquired from a foreign country the
supply of services like or directly
competitive with those services
provided by the workers within the
Document Imaging Department.
Consequently, workers within the
Document Imaging Department were
determined to be a group eligible to
apply for TAA. The workers in the
billing number, however, were not
determined to be an eligible worker
group. The negative determination
issued under TA–W–82,838 was based
on the Department’s findings that the
subject firm did not shift to, or acquire
from, a foreign country the supply of
services like or directly competitive
with those supplied by the workers
within the Billing Department and that
the subject firm did not import services
like or directly competitive services
with those supplied by the workers
within the Billing Department.
The negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for TAA
under TA–W–82,838 was issued on
September 5, 2013. The Department’s
Notice of determinations was published
in the Federal Register on October 3,
2013 (78 FR 61392).
By application dated September 19,
2013, a worker in the Billing
Department requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department’s
negative determination regarding TA–
W–82,838. The request for
reconsideration alleged that the
separated worker ‘‘did the N and K
report which was electronic rejections
from India and my job was to tell them
how to get the claim to go through. Lots
of times the claims had to be dropped
onshore (meaning United States) . . . I
do have documentation and emails . . .
to support my facts.’’ Following the
