Raleigh Film and Television Studios, LLC, Los Angeles, CA; Notice 
of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated January 24, 2010, the petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of Raleigh Film and Television 
Studios, LLC, Los Angeles, California (the subject firm). The Notice of 
determination was issued on January 14, 2010 and published in the 
Federal Register on February 16, 2010 (75 FR 7039). The workers provide 
sound stages, production, office space, catering, security, and other 
services to the entertainment production industry.

    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that there was, during the relevant period, no 
increase in imports of services like or directly competitive with those 
supplied by the workers by either the subject firm or its customers, 
nor a shift to/acquisition from a foreign country by the subject firm 
of like or directly competitive services. The investigation also 
revealed that the workers did not produce a component part or supply a 
service that was directly used by a firm that employed a worker group 
eligible to apply for TAA.
    The request for reconsideration alleges that the subject firm ``is 
actively building large film studios in both Budapest, Hungary and 
Khazastan.''
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record, and has determined that the 
Department 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 7th day of October 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
