DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-71,600; TA-W-71,600A]


The Gemological Institute of America, Carlsbad, CA; the 
Gemological Institute of America, New York, NY; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    The initial investigation, initiated on July 8, 2009, resulted in a 
negative determination, issued on January 20, 2010, that was based on 
the findings that the workers' firm did not import services like or 
directly competitive with the services performed by the workers in 
2007, 2008, or in January through June 2009 nor did the firm shift 
those services to a foreign country during the relevant time period; 
and that the workers' firm is not a supplier or downstream producer to 
a firm with a TAA-certified worker group. The notice of negative 
determination was published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2010 
(75 FR 10323).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the petitioner asserted 
that there had been a shift in production from the United States to 
India.
    During the request for reconsideration, the Department obtained 
additional information that, since 2007, the subject firm had 
significantly increased its reliance on revenues from its overseas 
operations.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers of The Gemological Institute 
of America, Carlsbad, California and New York, New York, who provide 
jewelry grading and educational services, meet the worker group 
certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 
2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273, I 
make the following certification:

    All workers of The Gemological Institute of America, Carlsbad, 
California (TA-W-71,600) and The Gemological Institute of America, 
New York, New York (TA-W-71,600A), who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after July 7, 2008, through two 
years from the date of this certification, and all workers in the 
group threatened with total or partial separation from employment on 
date of certification through two years from the date of 
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 19th day of May 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
