Determinations Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
Workers of a firm may be eligible for worker adjustment
assistance if they satisfy the criteria of subsection (a), (c)
or (f) of Section 222 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), (c), (f).
For the Department of Labor to issue a certification for workers
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), the
following three criteria must be met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2282(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied in one of two
ways:
(A) Increased Imports Path:
(i) sales or production, or both, at the workers' firm
must have decreased absolutely, AND
(ii) (I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles or services produced or
supplied by the workers' firm have increased, OR
(II)(aa) imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles into which the
component part produced by the workers' firm was
directly incorporated have increased; OR
(II)(bb) imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles which are produced
directly using the services supplied by the
workers' firm have increased; OR
(III) imports of articles directly incorporating
component parts not produced in the U.S. that are
like or directly competitive with the article
into which the component part produced by the
workers' firm was directly incorporated have
increased.

(B) Shift in Production or Supply Path:
(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the increase in imports
or shift/acquisition must have contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation. See
Sections 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) and 222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act,
19 U.S.C. §§ 2272(a)(2)(A)(iii), 2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
terms "Supplier" and "Downstream Producer." For the Department
to issue a secondary worker certification under Section 222(c)
of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), to workers of a Supplier or a
Downstream Producer, the following criteria must be met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to 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. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Workers of a firm may also be considered eligible if they
are publicly identified by name by the International Trade
Commission (ITC) as a member of a domestic industry in an
investigation resulting in a category of determination that is
listed in Section 222(f) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(f).
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(f) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(f), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by
the International Trade Commission as a member of a
domestic industry in an investigation resulting in--
(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);
(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption
or threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or
(C) an affirmative final determination of material
injury or threat thereof under section
705(b)(1)(A) or 735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A) and
1673d(b)(1)(A));

(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period
beginning on the date on which--
(A) a summary of the report submitted to the
President by the International Trade Commission
under section 202(f)(1) with respect to the
affirmative determination described in paragraph
(1)(A) is published in the Federal Register under
section 202(f)(3); or
(B) notice of an affirmative determination described
in subparagraph (1) is published in the Federal
Register; and
(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--
(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or
(B) notwithstanding section 223(b)(1), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 19, 2010 by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.,
Enterprise Information Technology/eB&T/Personal Lines/Quality
Assurance Division, Farmington, Connecticut (TA-W-74,396);
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Enterprise Information
Technology/eB&T/Information Management Division, Harford,
Connecticut (TA-W-74,396A); Hartford Financial Services Group,
Inc., Enterprise Information Technology/eB&T/Billing and Audit
Division, Hartford, Connecticut (TA-74,396B); Hartford Financial
Services Group, Inc., Enterprise Information
Technology/eB&T/Information Management Division, Simsbury,
Connecticut (TA-74,396C); Hartford Financial Services Group,
Inc., Enterprise Information Technology/eB&T/Information
Management Division, Hartford, Connecticut (TA-W-74,396D). The
workers are engaged in activities related to financial services
such as insurance protection and investment products.
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Enterprise
Information Technology/eB&T/ Personal Lines/Quality Assurance
Division, Farmington, Connecticut (TA-W-74,396) leased temporary
workers from Cognizant and Beeline during the period under
investigation.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hartford
Financial Services Group, Inc., Enterprise Information
Technology/eB&T/ Personal Lines/Quality Assurance Division,
Farmington, Connecticut (TA-W-74,396); Hartford Financial
Services Group, Inc., Enterprise Information Technology/eB&T/
Information Management Division, Harford, Connecticut (TA-W-
74,396A); Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Enterprise
Information Technology/eB&T/Billing and Audit Division,
Hartford, Connecticut (TA-74,396B); and Hartford Financial
Services Group, Inc., Enterprise Information
Technology/eB&T/Information Management Division, Simsbury,
Connecticut (TA-74,396C), who are engaged in activities related
to financial services, such as insurance protection and
investment products, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at each subject facility have been
totally or partially separated or threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from India services like or directly competitive
with the services provided by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
financial services from a foreign country by Hartford
Financial Services Group, Inc. contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the subject facilities.
With respect to Section 222(a) of the Act, the
investigation revealed that criteria III was not met for
workers at Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Enterprise
Information Technology/eB&T/Information Management Division,
Hartford, Connecticut (TA-W-74,396D).
The petitioner alleged that the services were transferred
to a vendor located in India based on information provided by a
separated worker.
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Enterprise
Information Technology/eB&T/Information Management Division,
Hartford, Connecticut (TA-W-74,396D) did not import services
like or directly competitive with services performed by
workers at Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Enterprise
Information Technology/eB&T/Information Management Division,
Hartford, Connecticut (TA-W-74,396D) in 2008, 2009, during the
period of January through July 2010 nor did they shift those
services abroad during the relevant period.
The Department did not administer customer surveys for
the subject firm's operating functions are only conducted
internally for Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.
With respect to Section 222(c) of the Act, the
investigation revealed that criterion II has not been met.
The subject firm is not a supplier or downstream producer
to a firm with a TAA-certification. As previously indicated,
the firm does not have an external customer base therefore the
definition of "supplier or downstream producer" would not apply
for all operations were conducted for internal use only.
Finally, the group eligibility requirements under Section
222(f) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(f), have not been satisfied
because the workers' firms has not been identified in an
affirmative finding of injury by the ITC.

investigation, I determine that workers of Hartford Financial
Services Group, Inc., Enterprise Information Technology/eB&T/
Personal Lines/Quality Assurance Division, 8 Farm Springs Road,
