Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker Adjustment Assistance

After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register and on the Department's Web site, as required by section 221 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these petitions.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.

TA-W No.	Subject firm	Location	Impact date
85,964	IPSCO Koppel Tubulars, LLC	Ambridge, PA
85,993	IPSCO Tubulars (KY) Inc.	Wilder, KY
86,017	IPSCO Tubulars Inc., D/B/A TMK-IPSCO	Houston, TX
86,067	Guardian Life Insurance Company	Appleton, WA.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued in cases where these petitions were not filed in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every petition filed by workers must be signed by at least three individuals of the petitioning worker group. Petitioners separated more than one year prior to the date of the petition cannot be covered under a certification of a petition under section 223(b), and therefore, may not be part of a petitioning worker group. For one or more of these reasons, these petitions were deemed invalid.

TA-W No.	Subject firm	Location	Impact date
86,092	National Electronic Warranty/Asurion	Sterling, VA.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be covered by more than one certification at a time.

TA-W No.	Subject firm	Location	Impact date
90,017	MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc., MoneyGram International, Inc.	Brooklyn Center, MN.
90,192	Frontier Airlines, Inc., Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc., Customer Service Department	Denver, CO.
90,225	Ipsco Koppel Tubulars, LLC	Ambridge, PA.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued because the petitions are the subject of ongoing investigations under petitions filed earlier covering the same petitioners.

TA-W No.	Subject firm	Location	Impact date
90,121	Symantec Corporation	Springfield, OR.

I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were issued during the period of October 9, 2015 through October 23, 2015. These determinations are available on the Department's Web site www.tradeact/​taa/​taa_​search_​form.cfm under the searchable listing of determinations or by calling the Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance toll free at 888-365-6822.

Signed at Washington DC this 27th day of October 2015.
