DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-80,147]


Travelers Insurance, a Subsidiary of the Travelers Indemnity 
Company, Personal Insurance Division, Account Processing/Underwriting, 
Syracuse, NY; Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Application 
for Reconsideration

    By application received July 18, 2011, a worker requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of Travelers Insurance, a 
subsidiary of Travelers Insurance, a Subsidiary of The Travelers 
Indemnity Company, Personal Insurance Division, Account Processing/
Underwriting, Syracuse, New York (subject firm).
    The negative determination was issued on June 29, 2011. The 
Department's Notice of determination was published in the Federal 
Register on July 29, 2011 (76 FR 43351). Workers of the subject firm 
are engaged in activities related to the supply of account and 
underwriting processing services for Traveler's Insurance.
    In the request for reconsideration, the worker asserts that ``we 
were under the impression that our petition * * * could be merged or 
added as a supplemental to the Knoxville office petition 
(75232).''
    On August 31, 2011, the Department issued an amended certification 
applicable to workers and former workers of The Travelers Indemnity 
Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Travelers Companies, Inc., 
Personal Insurance Division, Customer Sales and Service Business Unit, 
Account Processing/Underwriting Unit, including teleworkers located 
throughout the United States reporting to, Syracuse, New York (TA-W-
75,232A). The Notice of amended certification was published in the 
Federal Register on September 14, 2011 (76 FR 56819).
    The Department has reviewed the application for reconsideration, 
the afore-mentioned amended certification, and the record, and has 
determined that the petitioning worker group covered under TA-W-80,147 
is eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under TA-W-
75,232A. As such, the Department determines that a reconsideration 
investigation would serve no purpose.

Conclusion

    After review of the application and investigative findings, I 
conclude that there has been no error or misinterpretation of the law 
or of the facts which would justify reconsideration of the Department 
of Labor's prior decision. Accordingly, the application is denied.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 15th day of September, 2011.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
