    On its own motion, the Department of Labor will conduct an 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of Wipro Limited, Wipro 
Technologies, Alliance Managers, East Brunswick, New Jersey (TA-W-
81,575), Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois (TA-W-81,575A), Mountain View, 
California (TA-W-81,575B), Atlanta, Georgia (TA-W-81,575C), Bellevue, 
Washington (TA-W-81,575D), Addison, Texas (TA-W-81,575E), and Boston, 
Massachusetts (TA-W-81,575F) (hereafter collectively referred to as 
``Wipro''). The Department's Notice of negative determination was 
published in the Federal Register on July 10, 2012 (77 FR 40642). The 
workers are engaged in employment related to the supply of sales of 
alliance related services or products through sales employees of the 
company.
    The negative determination was based on the Department's findings 
of no imports by Wipro of services like or directly competitive with 
those supplied by the subject worker group and no shift to a foreign 
country by Wipro in the supply of such services. A customer survey was 
not conducted, as the services supplied are for internal purposes only.
    The initial investigation also revealed that Wipro is neither a 
Supplier to, nor acts as a Downstream Producer for, a firm that 
employed a group of workers who received a certification of eligibility 
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. Sec.  2272(a), and that 
Wipro has not been publically identified by name by the International 
Trade Commission as a member of a domestic industry in an investigation 
resulting in an affirmative finding of serious injury, market 
disruption, or material injury, or threat thereof.
    The Department's review of the administrative record revealed a 
discrepancy in the locations identified by Wipro and those identified 
by the Department in the determination.

Conclusion

    The Department has carefully reviewed the existing record, and will 
conduct further investigation to determine if the workers meet the 
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 23rd day of August, 2012.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
