BILLING CODE 9110-10-P DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Transportation Security Administration Intent To Request Renewal From OMB of One Current Public Collection of Information: Office of Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal Service Mental Health Certification AGENCY: Transportation Security Administration, DHS. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Transportation Security Administration
(TSA)invites public comment on one currently approved information collection requirement
(ICR)abstracted below that we will submit to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)for renewal in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. The collection requires applicants for the Office of Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal positions to complete a certification form regarding their mental history. DATES: Send your comments by August 20, 2007. ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed or delivered to Joanna Johnson, Communications Branch, Business Management Office, Operational Process and Technology, TSA-32, Transportation Security Administration, 701 South 12th Street, Arlington, VA 22202-4220. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joanna Johnson at the above address, or by telephone
(571)227-3651 or facsimile
(571)227-3588. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation is available at *http://www.reginfo.gov* . In preparation for OMB review and approval of the following information collection, TSA is inviting comments to—
(1)Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2)Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;
(3)Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4)Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Information Collection Requirement OMB approved TSA's emergency processing of this information collection and assigned it OMB control number 1652-0043. See the **Federal Register** notice published on December 5, 2006 (71 FR 70524). TSA now seeks to renew this collection for the maximum three-year period under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 44917, TSA has authority to provide for deployment of Federal Air Marshals
(FAMs)on passenger flights and provide for appropriate training, supervision, and equipment of FAMs. In furtherance of this authority, TSA policy requires that applicants for the Office of Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal positions meet certain medical standards, including Federal Aviation Administration second-class airman standards as outlined in 14 CFR part 67. The TSA modifications to these standards include a psychological evaluation determining that individuals do not have an established medical history or clinical diagnosis of psychosis, neurosis, or any other personality or mental disorder that clearly demonstrates a potential hazard to the performance of FAM duties or the safety of self or others. As part of the psychological evaluation, applicants are required to complete a certification form regarding their mental health history and provide an explanation for anything they cannot certify. Applicants will be asked whether they can certify various statements including that they have never been removed from work for medical or psychological reasons. Applicants submit this certification form directly to the FAMs Medical Program via fax, electronically by scanning the document, by mail, or in person. Any explanations received will generally require further review and follow-up by a contract psychologist or psychiatrist. This certification is carefully geared to capitalize on other elements of the assessment process, such as personal interviews, physical task assessment, background investigation, as well as the other components of the medical examination and assessment. The estimated annual reporting burden is 10,000 hours based on an estimated 10,000 respondents. Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on June 13, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control Number:* 1018-0123. *Title:* International Conservation Grant Programs. *Service Form Number(s):* 3-2338. *Type of Request:* Revision of currently approved collection. *Affected Public:* Domestic and nondomestic Federal, State, and local governments; nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations; public and private institutions of higher education; and any other organization or individual with demonstrated experience deemed necessary to carry out the proposed project. *Respondent's Obligation:* Required to obtain or retain a benefit. *Frequency of Collection:* Annually. *Estimated Annual Number of Respondents:* 605 (489 applications; 116 reports). *Estimated Total Annual Responses:* 721 (489 applications; 232 reports). *Estimated Time per Response:* 12 hours per application; 30 hours per report. *Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:* 12,828 (5,868 for applications; 6,960 for reports). *Abstract:* The Division of International Conservation awards grants funded under the:
(1)African Elephant Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 4201-4245).
(2)Asian Elephant Conservation Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 4261).
(3)Great Ape Conservation Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-411).
(4)Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act of 1994 (16 U.S.C. 5306).
(5)Marine Turtle Conservation Act (Pub. L. 108-266).
(6)Wildlife Without Borders Programs - Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Russia. The information that we collect for grants awarded under the Marine Turtle Conservation Act is approved under OMB Control No. 1018-0128, which expires March 31, 2009. We are proposing to include that information collection with the others in this approval request, all under OMB Control Number 1018-0123. Applicants submit proposals for funding in response to Notices of Funding Availability that we publish on Grants.gov. We collect the following information under each Notice of Funding Availability:
(1)Cover page with basic project details (FWS Form 3-2338). This is a new form that we propose to replace the six forms currently approved under OMB Control No. 1018-0123.
(2)Project summary and narrative.
(3)Letter of appropriate government endorsement.
(4)Brief curricula vitae for key project personnel.
(5)Complete Standard Forms 424, 424a and 424b (nondomestic applicants do not submit the standard forms). Proposals may also include, as appropriate, a copy of the organization's Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NIRCA) and any additional documentation supporting the proposed project. The project summary and narrative is the basis for this information collection request for approval. A panel of technical experts reviews each proposal to assess how well the project addresses the priorities identified by each program's authorizing legislation. As all of the on-the-ground projects funded by these programs are conducted outside the United States, the letter of appropriate government endorsement ensures that the proposed activities will not meet with local resistance or work in opposition to locally identified priorities and needs. Brief curricula vitae for key project personnel allow the review panel to assess the qualifications of project staff to effectively carry out the project goals and objectives. As all Federal entities must honor the indirect cost rates an organization has negotiated with its cognizant agency, we require all organizations with a NICRA to submit the agreement paperwork with their proposals to verify how their rate is applied in their proposed budget. Applicants may provide any additional documentation that they believe best supports their proposal. *Comments:* On March 16, 2007, we published in the **Federal Register** (72 FR 12630) a notice of our intent to request that OMB renew authority for this information collection. We solicited comments for 60 days, ending on May 15, 2007. We received one comment. The commenter did not address the information collection requirements, but did express a general concern as to whether appropriated funds were reaching the intended species. We have not made any changes to our information collection as a result of the comment. We again invite comments concerning this information collection on:
(1)whether or not the collection of information is necessary, including whether or not the information will have practical utility;
(2)the accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of information;
(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4)ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents. Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment, including your personal identifying information, may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask OMB in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that it will be done. Dated: June 12, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background on the Desert Rock Energy Project The DEIS discloses probable environmental effects of the proposed Desert Rock Energy Project (or referred to herein as Desert Rock Energy Project or proposed project/action) and the Navajo Mine Extension Project (or referred to herein as the Navajo Mine Extension Project or Area IV North, Area IV South and Area V of the BHP Navajo Coal Company [BNCC] Lease Area). The applicants, Sithe Global Power, LLC (Sithe) by and through the Desert Rock Energy Company, LLC, and Dine Power Authority (DPA), a Navajo Nation enterprise, are proposing to develop and construct the Desert Rock Energy Project. Desert Rock Energy Company, LLC, entered into an agreement with DPA to develop and construct a coal-fired power plant on the Navajo Reservation. Desert Rock Energy Company, LLC, is a privately held, independent power company and a limited liability corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. DPA was established by the Navajo Nation Council to develop utility-scale energy projects on behalf of the Navajo Nation for the economic benefit of the Navajo people. The proposed project involves the construction and operation of a coal-fired electrical power plant that would generate up to 1,500 megawatts
(MW)of power; the extension of existing surface coal mining operations at the Navajo Mine to provide fuel for the power plant; disposal of coal combustion by-products (CCBs); and mine reclamation operations, with associated mine support facilities and activities. The proposed project would also include a water well field with supply pipeline to the power plant, transmission lines, a receiving electrical station, other upgrades and ancillary facilities required in the production and transmission of electricity, and new access roads. The proposed project is located approximately 30 miles southwest of Farmington in San Juan County, New Mexico, and is entirely on Indian trust lands within the exterior boundaries of the Navajo Nation. The power plant would be constructed on a 592-acre parcel immediately adjacent on the west to Area IV North of the BNCC Lease Area. The coal fuel supply would be produced from Areas IV South and V of the BNCC Lease Area and transported by conveyor to a proposed coal preparation facility located in Area IV North of the BNCC lease area, near the power plant. Purpose and Need for the Proposed Project The purpose of the proposed action is to help meet the Navajo Nation's need to benefit economically from the development of its coal resources. Construction of the Desert Rock power plant would address this need, as well as regional power needs in general, by • Supporting the Navajo Nation's objective for economic development by providing long-term employment opportunities and revenue cash-flow streams from the sale of Navajo natural resources (e.g., water, coal); • using Navajo Nation coal to generate electricity; • helping meet the demand for up to 2,000 MW of electrical power in the rapidly growing southwestern United States; and • providing fuel diversity, hence a more economically stable and predictable power supply for utilities in the Southwest. Proposed Federal Agency Actions The proposed action includes several elements that require approvals, grants of rights-of-way, or permits by Federal agencies and the Navajo Nation. These are as follows: • BIA-Approval of the long-term business land lease between DPA and the Navajo Nation, of the sublease between DPA and Desert Rock Energy Company, LLC, and of the rights-of-way requested for the proposed project. • OSM-Approval of revisions to BNCC's current SMCRA permit to allow development of coal processing facilities, conveyance systems, and infrastructure in Area IV North of the BNCC Lease Area and approval of a future SMCRA permit application to allow coal mining, CCB disposal, and reclamation activities in Area IV South and Area V of the BNCC Lease Area. • BLM-Approval of the Resource Recovery and Protection Plan or a Mine Plan of Operations for Area IV South and Area V of the BNCC Lease Area. • USACE-Approval of an Individual Permit for the Desert Rock Energy Project under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)and of Nationwide Permits or an Individual Permit under Section 404 of the CWA for the mining operations in Area IV South and Area V of the BNCC Lease Area. • EPA-Approval of a significant revision to BNCC's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit associated with the mining and reclamation operations and coal preparation facilities. Whether this constitute a new source permitting action subject to the National Environmental Policy Act is determined by criteria set forth in 40 CFR 122.29(b). • Navajo Nation—The Navajo Nation's action, as a sovereign government and cooperating agency, is the approval of a land lease package that ensures economic development on tribal lands in compliance with the Navajo Nation Code and applicable Federal law. The above approvals, taken together, constitute the Proposed Action, which consists of
(1)the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Desert Rock Energy Project and associated water supply wells, water supply pipelines, transmission system interconnection, other facilities required for the generation and distribution of electrical power, and new access roads; and
(2)the approval of surface coal mining, CCB disposal, and reclamation operations at the Navajo Mine Extension Project to supply coal to the Desert Rock power plant. Public Meetings Public meetings on the DEIS will include,
(1)a presentation on the Desert Rock Energy Project and DEIS,
(2)an area with displays where meeting attendees may discuss the project proposal and the EIS process with BIA and others,
(3)an area where meeting attendees may record and submit written comments, and
(4)an area where an BIA representative and a transcriber will record oral comments. To assist the transcriber and ensure an accurate record, BIA requests that each presenter of oral comments provide a written copy of his or her comments, if possible. A Navajo interpreter will be present at the meetings on the Navajo Indian Reservation. If you are disabled or need special accommodations to attend one of the meetings, contact the person under the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above at least one week before the meeting. Public Comment Availability Comments, including names and addresses of respondents, will be available for public review at the mailing address shown in the ADDRESSES section, during regular business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. Individual respondents may request confidentiality.

No petitions for review of the ID were filed and the Commission has determined not to review the ID. The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in §§ 210.21 and 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.21 and 210.42).

The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain equipment for telecommunications or data communications networks, including routers, switches, and hubs, and components thereof, by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 4,893,306; U.S. Patent No. Re. 36,633 (“the '633 patent”); and U.S. Patent No. 4,835,763.

The Commission investigative attorney supported the motion. On May 24, 2007, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 27) granting the joint motion to terminate the investigation with regard to Lucent and Alcatel. The ALJ found that the joint motion complied with the requirements of Commission Rule 210.21(b)(1) and that there was no evidence that the requested termination of the investigation will prejudice the public interest. Accordingly, the ALJ terminated the investigation as to Lucent and Alcatel. No petitions for review of the ID were filed. The Commission has determined not to review the ID. The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.42).

ACTION: Notice of hearing. SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Department of Labor will hold a hearing regarding the feasibility of the application of computer model investment advice programs for Individual Retirement Accounts and similar types of plans. DATES: The hearing will be held on July 31, 2007 beginning at 9:30 a.m., EST. ADDRESSES: The hearing will be held at the U.S. Department of Labor, Rooms N-4437B, C and D, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chris Motta, Office of Exemption Determinations, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, telephone
(202)693-8540 (this is not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 601(b) of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the PPA) (Pub. L. 109-280) amended section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) to add an exemption from certain taxes imposed by the Code for the provision of “investment advice” to participants and beneficiaries of covered employee benefit plans, and certain related transactions, if the investment advice is provided under an “eligible investment advice arrangement.” 1 One such arrangement involves the use of a computer model which meets the requirements of the exemption. 2 The PPA directed the Secretary of Labor, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to solicit information regarding the feasibility of the application of computer model investment advice programs to Individual Retirement Accounts and similar types of plans (hereinafter, collectively, IRAs). 3 The PPA further directed that the Secretary of Labor, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determine, based on the information received from the solicitation, whether there is any computer model investment advice program which may be utilized to provide investment advice to IRA beneficiaries, where such program:
(1)Utilizes relevant information about the account beneficiary, which may include age, life expectancy, retirement age, risk tolerance, other assets or sources of income, and preferences as to certain types of investments;
(2)takes into account the full range of investments, including equities and bonds, in determining the options for the investment portfolios of the beneficiary; and
(3)allows the beneficiary, in directing the investment, sufficient flexibility in obtaining advice to evaluate and select investment options[0]. 1 See Code section 4975(d)(17). The PPA also amended section 408 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to add a parallel exemption from certain prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA. 2 See Code section 4975(f)(8)(C)(ii). The computer model must:
(1)Apply generally accepted investment theories that take into account the historic returns of different asset classes over defined periods of time;
(2)utilize relevant information about the participant, which may include age, life expectancy, retirement age, risk tolerance, other assets or sources of income, and preferences as to certain types of investments;
(3)utilize prescribed objective criteria to provide asset allocation portfolios comprised of investment options available under the plan;
(4)operate in a manner that is not biased in favor of investments offered by the fiduciary adviser or a person with a material affiliation or contractual relationship with the fiduciary adviser; and
(5)take into account all investment options under the plan in specifying how a participant's account balance should be invested and not be inappropriately weighted with respect to any investment option. 3 See PPA section 601(b)(3)(A)(i). These plans are:
(1)An individual retirement account described in section 408(a) of the Code;
(2)an individual retirement annuity described in section 408(b) of the Code;
(3)an Archer MSA described in section 220(d) of the Code;
(4)a health savings account described in section 223(d) of the Code;
(5)a Coverdell education savings account described in Code section 530; or
(6)a trust, plan, account, or annuity which, at any time, has been determined by the Secretary of the Treasury to be described in any preceding subparagraph of this paragraph [i.e.,(1) through
(5)above]. On December 4, 2006, the Department of Labor published a request for information
(RFI)regarding the feasibility of computer model investment advice programs for IRAs (71 FR 70427). On December 12 and 13, 2006, the Department solicited comments, by mail, from certain trustees and other persons offering computer model investment advice programs. The Department received over 60 comments in response to these solicitations. The RFI posed several questions that focused on the specific statutory requirements imposed by the PPA for computer model investment advice programs for beneficiaries of IRAs. Many of the comments took differing views as to the existence of such programs depending on the meaning of the term “full range of investments” in PPA section 601(b)(3)(B). After carefully reviewing the information received to date, the Department has decided that it would be beneficial to solicit additional information by means of a public hearing. The Department is interested in obtaining information on all aspects of computer model based investment advice programs for IRAs that would help in making the required determination, including additional information relating to the questions posed in the RFI. In particular, the Department is interested in understanding what particular types of investments or asset classes a computer model program should take into account in order to provide appropriate advice to IRA beneficiaries. In addition, the Department seeks additional information on the manner in which such programs could operate without bias as to investments offered by the fiduciary advisor or an affiliate, if the particular advice program allocates IRA assets among only such investments. The Department is also interested in knowing whether the scope of relief from ERISA's prohibited transaction provisions afforded by the statute is adequate to facilitate the use of computer-based programs for IRAs should the Department determine that such programs are feasible. Conversely, the Department seeks information concerning the scope of relief that would be necessary, and the conditions that would be appropriate, if it were necessary to issue the class exemption described in PPA section 601(b)(3)(C)(ii). The hearing will be held on July 31, 2007 beginning at 9:30 a.m., EST, in Rooms N-4437 B, C and D at the U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. Any interested person who wishes to be assured of an opportunity to present oral comments at the hearing should submit by 3:30 p.m., EST, July 19, 2007:
(1)A request to be heard; and
(2)a copy of an outline of the topics to be discussed. To facilitate the receipt and processing of responses, EBSA encourages interested persons to submit their request and outline electronically either:

E7-11885 Filed 6-19-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-29-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-60,277] Creative Engineered Products, Formerly Known as Carlisle Engineered Products, Belleville Division, a Subsidiary of the Reserve Group; Belleville, MI; Notice of Revised Determination on Remand On April 20, 2007, the United States Court of International Trade (USCIT) granted the Department of Labor's request for voluntary remand in *Former Employees of Creative Engineering Products* v. *U.S. Secretary of Labor,* Court No. 07-00073. In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor (Department) herein presents the results of the remand investigation regarding workers' eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance. On October 23, 2006, a company official filed a petition for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA)and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
(ATAA)on behalf of workers and former workers of Creative Engineering Products, formerly known as Carlisle Engineering Products, Belleville Division, A Subsidiary of the Reserve Group, Belleville, Michigan (the subject firm). Workers produced plastic injection parts for the automotive industry. The subject firm shut down on October 31, 2006. A negative determination regarding the subject worker group's eligibility to apply for TAA and ATAA was issued on December 6, 2006. The determination was based on the findings that, during the relevant period (the twelve-month period prior to the petition date), the subject firm did not shift production of plastic injection automotive parts (parts) abroad and that neither the subject firm nor its major declining customer imported parts during the relevant period. The Department's Notice of negative determination was published in the **Federal Register** on December 27, 2006 (71 FR 77805). By letter dated December 14, 2006, a company official requested administrative reconsideration by the Department. The request asserted that the subject firm's closure was caused by the major customer's decision to move its operations to Canada. By letter dated January 18, 2007, the Department dismissed the request for reconsideration, stating that the statute does not provide for TAA certification based on a customer's shift of production to Canada and that no information, new or previously-submitted, revealed that the subject firm shifted production of parts abroad or that there were increased imports of parts during the relevant period. The Department's Dismissal of Application for Reconsideration was issued on January 24, 2007. The Notice of the Department's action was published in the **Federal Register** on February 2, 2007 (72 FR 5085). By letter dated February 15, 2007, a worker requested judicial review by the USCIT. In the complaint, the Plaintiff alleges that the Department's denial, based on a finding of negligible imports by the subject firm, was arbitrary. Since the petition was filed by the subject firm and the subject firm requested reconsideration, it was reasonable for the Department to believe that the subject firm had the workers' best interest at heart, and provided accurate and complete information in the previous investigations. However, because it is the Department's practice to view facts in the light most beneficial to the workers, it is possible that there was a misunderstanding and the workers were unintentionally injured by the mistake(s). Therefore, in order to address the Plaintiff's allegation of increased imports and to determine whether the workers are eligible to apply for TAA, the Department requested voluntary remand. The Department's request was granted on April 20, 2007. For a worker group to be certified for TAA based on increased imports, all of the following must be satisfied: A. A significant number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision of the firm, have become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or partially separated; B. The sales or production, or both, of such firm or subdivision have decreased absolutely; and C. Increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles produced by such firm or subdivision have contributed importantly to such workers' separation or threat of separation and to the decline in sales or production of such firm or subdivision. During the remand investigation, the Department contacted the company official to confirm the article produced by the subject worker group. The Department also conducted another survey to determine whether there were increased customer imports of articles like or directly competitive with plastic injection automotive parts produced at the subject firm during the relevant period. The remand investigation also included an industry-wide review of import trends. Because the subject firm closed on October 31, 2006, the Department determines that, during the relevant period, a significant number or proportion of the workers in the subject firm have become totally separated and that subject firm sales and production have decreased absolutely. The survey conducted during the remand investigation revealed that, during the relevant period, customer purchases from the subject firm decreased while imports increased. The survey also revealed overall decreased domestic purchases during the same period of increased import purchases. Further, the rate of import increase was higher than the rate of purchase decrease from the subject firm and other domestic sources. During the relevant period, aggregate imports of articles like or directly competitive with plastic injection automotive parts produced by the subject firm increased. Based on the findings of the remand investigation, the Department determines that increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with plastic injection automotive parts produced by the subject firm contributed importantly to the subject workers' separation and to the decline in subject firm sales and production. In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department herein presents the results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA. The Department has determined in this case that the group eligibility 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 during the remand investigation, I determine that increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with plastic injection automotive parts produced by the subject workers contributed to the total separation of a significant number or proportion of workers at the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: “All workers of Creative Engineering Products, formerly known as Carlisle Engineering Products, Belleville Division, A Subsidiary of the Reserve Group, Belleville, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after October 23, 2005, through two years from the issuance of this revised determination, are eligible to apply for Trade 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 at Washington, DC this 13th day of June 2007.

The negative determination was issued on May 1, 2007. On May 17, 2007, the Department's Notice of Determination was published in the **Federal Register** (72 FR 27855). Workers produce massage tables, chairs, and accessories. The negative determination was based on the Department's findings that the subject firm did not shift production abroad and that the subject firm's major declining customers' imports did not contribute importantly to workers' separations. In the request for reconsideration, the workers alleged that increased subject firm imports and increased foreign competition contributed to workers' separations. The Department has carefully reviewed the workers' request for reconsideration and has determined that the Department will conduct further investigation. Conclusion After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S. Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted. Signed at Washington, DC, this 11th day of June 2007. Richard Church, Certifying Officer,Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.

Including On-Site Leased Workers from Kelly Services, Manpower and Pinnacle Staffing St. Clair, Michigan; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on April 23, 2007, applicable to workers of Pine River Plastics, Inc., St. Clair, Michigan. The notice was published in the **Federal Register** on May 9, 2007 (72 FR 26424). At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of plastic injection molded parts. The review of the investigation file shows that the Department inadvertently omitted the leased workers from Kelly Services, Manpower and Pinnacle Staffing who were engaged in employment related to the production on-site at the St. Clair, Michigan location of Pine River Plastics, Inc. Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include leased workers of Kelly Services, Manpower and Pinnacle Staffing working on-site at Pine River Plastics, Inc., St. Clair, Michigan. The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers employed at Pine River Plastics, St. Clair, Michigan who were adversely affected by increased imports. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,094 is hereby issued as follows: “All workers of Pine River Plastics, Inc., including on-site leased workers of Kelly Services, Manpower and Pinnacle Staffing, St. Clair, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after March 9, 2006, through April 23, 2009, are eligible to apply for 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.” Linda G. Poole, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.

Workers Employed at Pearson Artworks a Division of Pearson Education, Inc.York, PA; Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration On May 4, 2007, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the **Federal Register** on May 11, 2007 (72 FR 26848-26849). The petition for the workers of Primary Staffing Services, Inc. employed at Pearson Artworks, a division of Pearson Education, Inc., York, Pennsylvania engaged in computer entry, project management, status communication, file delivery, and quality assurance activities related to the production of WEB based line art illustrations was denied because imports of WEB based line art illustrations did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift of production to a foreign source occurred. The petitioner filed a request for reconsideration in which the petitioner alleged that Pearson Artworks shifted the production of textbook illustrations from York, Pennsylvania to Canada, thus causing separations of workers from the subject firm. A company official was contacted for clarification in regard of a shift in production to Canada. The official stated that there was no shift in production of textbook illustration functions from Pearson Education, Inc., York, Pennsylvania to Canada in 2006 and January of 2007. The official emphasized that the reason of decreasing production of textbook illustrations at the facility in York, Pennsylvania lies behind “an overall business strategy” of Pearson Artworks to shift its focus away from volume illustrations to more of a research and development model. The petitioner also disagreed with the previous findings that “worker separation at the subject firm was due to a change from manual to automated work processes and not to imports or shift in production” and alleged that “no new automated processes were implemented during the course of workers employment that would eliminate their services.” The company official informed that contrary to petitioners' statements, the workers of the Primary Staffing Services, Inc. were no longer needed because Pearson Education, York, Pennsylvania “developed internal process that streamlined the workflow, thus decreasing the number of employees needed to perform the tasks of the Company's operations in its York office.” In particular, the official clarified that these new processes included Manuscript Maker, which automates the creation of art manuscript and visual assets database, Proof Maker and Correction script, which provide automated art proofs and corrections, Media and new automated shipping methods via FedEx and UPS installed computers. The investigation on reconsideration supported the findings that imports of WEB based line art illustrations did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift of production to a foreign source occurred. Conclusion After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance for workers and former workers of Primary Staffing Services, Inc., workers employed at Pearson Artworks, a division of Pearson Education, Inc., York, Pennsylvania.

The notice was published in the **Federal Register** on May 24, 2007 (72 FR 29181). At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of embroidery thread and yarn. In a request for an amendment, the company provided sufficient information to confirm that the skills of the workers at the subject firm are not easily transferable in the local commuting area. Information obtained also indicates that a significant number of workers of the subject firm are age 50 or over, workers have skills that are not easily transferable, and conditions in the industry are adverse. Review of this information shows that all eligibility criteria under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended have been met. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to reflect its finding. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,254 is hereby issued as follows: “All workers of American & Efird, Inc., d/b/a Robison Anton Textile Company, Fairview Division, Fairview, New Jersey, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after April 5, 2006 through May 10, 2009, are eligible to apply for 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.” Signed at Washington, DC, this 13th day of June 2007.

E7-11838 Filed 6-19-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-FN-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-61,129] Romar Textile Co., Inc.; Wampum, PA; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration On May 25, 2007, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the **Federal Register** on June 7, 2007 (72 FR 31613). The previous investigation initiated on March 16, 2007, resulted in a negative determination issued on March 29, 2007, was based on the finding that workers of the subject firm do not produce an article or support production of an article within the meaning of Section 222 of the Act. The denial notice was published in the **Federal Register** on April 10, 2007 (72 FR 17938). In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided additional information regarding production at Romar Textile Co., Inc. Upon further contact with the company official, it was revealed that the subject facility supported production of pillow covers and dust ruffles in 2005 and January through May of 2006. The investigation on reconsideration also revealed that Romar Textile Co., Inc., Wampum, Pennsylvania supplied pillow covers and dust ruffles to one customer. A survey of this declining customer revealed an absolute increase in imports of pillow covers and dust ruffles from 2004 to 2005 and in January through May of 2006 when compared with the same period in 2006. The imports accounted for a meaningful portion of the subject firm's lost sales or production. In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(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 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 additional facts obtained on reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with those produced at Romar Textile, Co., Inc., Wampum, Pennsylvania, contributed importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers at the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: “All workers of Romar Textile Co., Inc., Wampum, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after March 13, 2006 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 12th day of June 2007.

The Order also provides the text of contractual provisions that Federal Government contracting departments and agencies must include in every non-exempt Government contract. The contractual provisions require contractors to post a notice, informing employees that they cannot be required to join a union or maintain membership in a union as a condition of employment and that portion of dues or fees not used for collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment may be refunded to the employee.
