Naugatuck Valley Surgical Center, Department of Saint Mary's 
Hospital, Waterbury, CT: Notice of Affirmative Determination, Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated January 16, 2013, the State of Connecticut 
Department of Labor requested administrative reconsideration of the 
negative determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for 
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former 
workers of Naugatuck Valley Surgical Center, Department of Saint Mary's 
Hospital, Waterbury, Connecticut

(subject firm). The determination was issued on December 11, 2012. The 
Department's Notice of Determination was published in the Federal 
Register on January 4, 2013 (78 FR 771). The workers supply medical 
transcription services.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that there was no shift in the supply of services 
to a foreign country by the subject firm and no increased imports of 
services like or directly competitive with those supplied by the 
subject worker group.
    The request for reconsideration supplied new information regarding 
a possible acquisition from a foreign country by the subject firm of 
services like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the 
subject worker group.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and 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.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 25th day of January, 2013.
Del Mi Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
