E6-8972 Filed 6-8-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4410-FY-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-58,762] Agilent Technologies, Inc.; Global Financial Services Division; Colorado Springs, CO; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration By application dated March 21, 2006, a petitioner requested administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative determination regarding eligibility for workers and former workers of the subject firm to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance

(TAA)and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA). The negative determination applicable to workers of Agilent Technologies, Inc., Global Financial Services Division, Colorado Springs, Colorado was signed on February 16, 2006. The Department's Notice of determination was published in the **Federal Register** on March 10, 2006 (71 FR 12397). The subject workers provide accounting and financial services. The Department's determination was issued on the findings that the workers do not produce an article and do not directly support production which took place at the subject facility. In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner asserts that the subject workers support production in three divisions of Agilent Technologies, Inc. (subject firm): Test and Measurement, Life Sciences, and Semi-Conductor Test Solutions. Supplemental information reveals that a significant portion of subject firm operations is related to the Test and Measurement Group. On September 30, 2005, the subject facility was certified for TAA and ATAA (Agilent Technologies, Inc., Electronic Measurement Group, Colorado Springs, Colorado (TA-W-57,742G). In previously-submitted material, a subject firm official stated that the subject workers did not support the production of a specific article, but provided administrative support for the entire subject firm, including affiliated facilities producing electronic test equipment. The material also indicated that a significant portion of the subject worker group was separated or threatened with separation during the relevant period. Because the Department does not discern any significant differences between the workers covered in TA-W-57,742G and the subject worker group, the Department determines that, during the relevant period, the subject workers are engaged in activity supporting production, that the facilities they support shifted production abroad, and that there are likely import increases of articles like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm (electronic testing equipment). In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, the Department herein presents the results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA for older workers. In order for the Department to issue a certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be met. The Department has determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have been met. A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse. Conclusion After careful review of the information obtained in the reconsideration investigation, I determine that a shift of production abroad followed by increased imports of electronic measurement equipment like or directly competitive with those produced by the firm contributed importantly to separations at the subject facility. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: “All workers of Agilent Technologies, Inc., Global Financial Services Division, Colorado Springs, Colorado, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 31, 2005, through two years from the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.” Signed in Washington, DC, this 31st day of May 2006. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc. E6-9011 Filed 6-8-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-58,540] Cytech Hardwoods, Inc., Amsterdam, NY; Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration On March 17, 2006, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers and former workers of the subject firm. The Department's Notice of determination was published in the **Federal Register** on March 29, 2006 (71 FR 15766). Workers produce hardwood lumber and hardwood flooring and are not separately identifiable by product line. The initial negative determination was issued because the “contributed importantly” group eligibility requirement of Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not met. The investigation revealed that the subject firm did not shift production abroad and neither the subject firm nor any of the major declining customers increased their imports of hardwood lumber during the relevant period. The subject firm ceased production in December 2005. In the request for reconsideration, the company official stated that the subject firm's customers are “importing finished goods * * *. therefore, they no longer purchase domestic lumber to support finished goods.” Since the initial investigation did not address the issue of hardwood flooring imports, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers and former workers of the subject firm. In order to establish import impact, the Department must consider imports that are like or directly competitive with those produced at the subject firm. As such, the Department conducted another survey of the customers of their purchases of hardwood lumber and hardwood flooring. The expanded survey revealed no imports of either product during the relevant period. Based on the company official's allegation in the request for reconsideration, the Department investigated whether the workers of the subject firm are eligible for Trade Adjustment Assistance

(TAA)based on the secondary upstream supplier impact. For certification on the basis of the workers' firm being an upstream supplier, the subject firm must have customers that are TAA certified, and these TAA certified customers must represent a significant portion of subject firm's business. In addition, the subject firm would have to produce a component part of the product that was the basis for the customers' certification. A search of the TAA database revealed that, for the relevant period, none of the subject firm's major declining customers are TAA certified. As such, the subject worker group is not eligible for TAA under secondary impact. In order for the Department to issue a certification of eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA), the worker group must be certified eligible to apply for TAA. Since the workers are denied eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers cannot be certified eligible for ATAA. Conclusion After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance and alternative trade adjustment assistance for workers and former workers of CyTech Hardwood, Inc., Amsterdam, New York. Signed at Washington, DC, this 31st day of May 2006. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance Assistance. [FR Doc.

The application did not contain new information supporting a conclusion that the determination was erroneous, and also did not provide a justification for reconsideration of the determination that was based on either mistaken facts or a misinterpretation of facts or of the law.

(ATAA)applicable to workers of the subject firm. The negative determination was signed on April 19, 2006, and was published in the **Federal Register** on May 10, 2006 (71 FR 27292). The workers of Tenneco, Inc., Clevite-Pullman Division, Milan, Ohio were certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance

(TAA)on April 19, 2006. The initial ATAA investigation determined that the skills of the subject worker group are easily transferable to other positions in the local area. In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided new information confirming that the skills of the workers at the subject firm are not easily transferable in the local commuting area. Additional investigation and a contact with the company official has determined that the workers possess skills that are not easily transferable. A significant number or proportion of the worker group are age fifty years or over. Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse. Conclusion After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reconsideration, I conclude that the requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers at the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: All workers of Tenneco, Inc., Clevite-Pullman Division, Milan, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after March 20, 2005 through April 19, 2008, are eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the Mine Safety and Health Administration

(MSHA)is soliciting comments concerning the extension of the information collection related to the 30 CFR Sections 44.9, 44.10, and 44.11; Petitions for Modification of Mandatory Safety Standards. DATES: Submit comments on or before August 8, 2006. ADDRESSES: Send comments to U.S. Department of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration, John Rowlett, Director, Management Services Division, 1100 Wilson Boulevard, Room 2134, Arlington, VA 22209-3939. Commenters are encouraged to send their comments on a computer disk or via e-mail to *Rowlett.John@dol.gov* , along with an original printed copy. Mr. Rowlett can be reached at

(202)693-9827 (voice), or

(202)693-9801 (facsimile). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact the employee listed in the ADDRESSESES section of this notice. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. 811(c), provides that a mine operator or a representative of miners may petition the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to modify the application of a mandatory safety standard. 30 CFR Part 44 formally delegates the Secretary's authority to receive petitions to the Director of the Office of Standards, Regulations, and Variances and the authority to issue proposed decisions to the Administrators for Coal and Metal/Nonmetal. A petition for modification may be granted if the Secretary determines

(1)that an alternative method of achieving the results of the standard exists and that it will guarantee, at all times, no less than the same measure of protection for the miners affected as that afforded by the standard, or

(2)that the application of the standard will result in a diminution of safety to the miners affected. II. Desired Focus of Comments MSHA is particularly interested in comments that • Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; • Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, *e.g.* , permitting electronic submissions of responses. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the employee listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice, or viewed on the Internet by accessing the MSHA home page ( *http://www.msha.gov* ) and then choosing “Statutory and Regulatory Information” and “ **Federal Register** Documents.” III. Current Actions Under 30 CFR 44.9, mine operators must post a copy of each petition for modification concerning the mine on the mine's bulletin board and maintain the posting until a ruling on the petition becomes final. This applies only to mines for which there is no representative of miners. Under 30 CFR 44.10, detailed guidance for filing a petition for modification is provided for the operator of the affected mine or any representative of the miners at that mine. The petition must be in writing, filed with the Director of the Office of Standards, Regulations, and Variances, and a copy of the petition served by the filing party (the mine operator or representative of miners) on the other party. Under 30 CFR 44.11(a), the petition for modification must contain the petitioner's name and address; the mailing address and mine identification number of the mine or mines affected; the mandatory safety standard to which the petition is directed; a concise statement of the modification requested and whether the petitioner

(1)Proposes to establish an alternate method in lieu of the mandatory safety standard, or

(2)alleges that application of the standard will result in diminution of safety to the miners affected, or

(3)requests relief based on both grounds; a detailed statement of the facts that show the grounds upon which a modification is claimed or warranted; and, if the petitioner is a mine operator, the identity of any representative of miners at the affected mine. *Type of Review:* Extension. *Agency:* Mine Safety and Health Administration. *Title:* Petitions for Modification of Mandatory Safety Standards. *OMB Number:* 1219-0065. *Recordkeeping:* Under 30 CFR 44.9, mine operators must post a copy of each petition for modification concerning the mine on the mine's bulletin board and maintain the posting until a ruling on the petition becomes final.
