Notice of Revised Determination
After Statutory Reconsideration

As required by the Trade Adjustment Assistance Reauthorization
Act of 2015 (TAARA 2015), which was enacted as Title IV of the
Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015, Public Law No. 114-27,
section 405(a)(1)(A), the investigation into this petition was
reopened for a reconsideration investigation to apply the
requirements for worker group eligibility under chapter 2 of title
II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended by the TAARA 2015, to the
facts of this petition (statutory reconsideration).
The initial investigation, initiated April 22, 2014, resulted
in a negative determination, issued on May 21, 2014, that was based
on the firm not producing an article. The determination was
applicable to workers and former workers of Sony Electronics,
Inc., Carson, California (TA-W-85,254), Sony Electronics, Inc.,
Los Angeles, California (TA-W-85,254A), Sony Electronics, Inc.,
Los Angeles, California (TA-W-85,254B), Sony Electronics, Inc.,
San Diego, California (TA-W-85,254C), Sony Electronics, Inc., San
Jose, California (TA-W-85,254D), Sony Electronics, Inc., Fort
Myers, Florida (TA-W-85,254E), Sony Electronics, Inc., Honolulu,
Hawaii (TA-W-85,254F), Sony Electronics, Inc., Itasca, Illinois
(TA-W-85,254G), Sony Electronics, Inc., Bloomington, Minnesota
(TA-W-85,254H), Sony Electronics, Inc., Park Ridge, New Jersey
(TA-W-85,254I), Sony Electronics, Inc., Laredo, Texas (TA-W-
85,254J), Sony Electronics, Inc., Laredo, Texas (TA-W-85,254K),
Sony Electronics, Inc., Redmond, Washington (TA-W-85,254L) and
Sony Electronics, Inc., Middleton, Wisconsin (TA-W-85,254M).
Herein referred to as “Sony Electronics, Inc.”. The workers’ firm
is engaged in activities related to the supply of sales, marketing,
engineering services and support function services for Sony
Electronics, Inc. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Remx/Select/Ngroup for TA-W-85,254; Staffmark for TA-
W-85,254A; Remx/Select, Staffmark, and YOH/Day Zimmerman for TA-W-
85,254C, TA-W-85,254D, TA-W-85,254G, and TA-W-85,254I; Kelly OCG,
Manpower, and Staff Amigo for TA-W-85,254J and TA-W-85,254K; and
Staffmark for TA-W-85,254M. Workers under TA-W-85,254C, TA-W-
85,254D, TA-W-85,254E, TA-W-85,254G, and TA-W-85,254I were covered
under a previous certification (TA-W-81,423, TA-W-81,423A, TA-W-
81,423C, TA-W-81,423E, and TA-W-81,423F respectively) that expired
on June 20, 2014. The workers of YOH/Day Zimmerman under TA-W-
85,254D, TA-W-85,254G, and TA-W-85,254I were not covered under the
previous certification. Workers of YOH/Day Zimmerman on-site at
San Diego, California (TA-W-85,254N), YOH/Day Zimmerman on-site at
San Jose, California (TA-W-85,254O), and YOH/Day Zimmerman on-site
at Park Ridge, New Jersey (TA-W-85,254P) will have an impact date
of April 21, 2014.
Based on information reviewed during the reconsideration
investigation, the Department of Labor determines that a shift in
services contributed to the workers’ separations at the subject
firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in such workers’ firm have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally
or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at Sony
Electronics, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that workers of Sony
Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
REMX/Select/NGroup, Carson, California (TA-W-85,254), Sony
Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Staffmark, Los Angeles, California (TA-W-85,254A), Sony
