Ananke, Inc., Providence, RI; Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated October 25, 2010, 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 the subject firm. The 
determination was issued on October 6, 2010, and the Notice of 
Determination was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2010 
(75 FR 65520-21).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that neither the subject firm nor a client firm 
shifted to/acquired from a foreign country the supply of services like 
or directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers, that 
the subject firm did not import like or directly competitive services 
during the relevant period, and that the subject workers are not 
adversely affected secondary workers.
    The request for reconsideration states that ``Ananke Inc. performed 
application packaging services for John Hancock * * * In September 
2009, John Hancock replaced * * * Ananke Inc. with * * * Cognizant 
Technology Solutions (an offshoring/outsourcing company)'' and included 
support documentation.
    The Department of Labor 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 1st day of December, 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
