(D) Imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles which are produced directly using services supplied by such firm, have increased; and

(4) The increase in imports contributed importantly to such workers' separation or threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or production of such firm; or

(1) A significant number or proportion of the workers in the workers' 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, and such supply or production is related to the article or service that was the basis for such certification; and

(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.

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determinations terminating investigations were issued because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.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

Jessica R. Webster

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
