BILLING CODE 4410-15-M DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-61,284] Continental Structural Plastics, Petoskey, MI; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration By application dated June 9, 2007, a petitioner requested administrative reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm.
The determination was signed on May 16, 2007 and published in the **Federal Register** on May 30, 2007 (72 FR 30033). The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination based on the finding that imports of plastic automotive parts did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift of production to a foreign source occurred. The Department reviewed the request for reconsideration and has determined that the petitioner has provided additional information.
Therefore, the Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974. Conclusion After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted. Signed in Washington, DC, this 20th day of June, 2007. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.

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 Employment and Training Administration is soliciting comments concerning Form ETA 750 Application for Alien Employment Certification. A copy of the proposed information collection request
(ICR)can be obtained by contacting the office listed below in the addressee section of this notice or at this Web site: *http://www.doleta.gov/OMBCN/OMBControlNumber.cfm.* DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the addressee section below on or before September 10, 2007. ADDRESSES: William L. Carlson, Administrator, Office of Foreign Labor Certification, U.S. Department of Labor, Room C4312, 200 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20210; by phone at
(202)693-3010 (this is not a toll-free number); by fax at
(202)693-2768; or by e-mail at *ETA.OFLC.Forms@dol.gov* subject line: Form ETA 750. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The information collection is required by section 212(a)(5)(A), section 214(c) and section 218 of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA)(8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(5)(A), 1184(c) and 1188). The INA mandates the Secretary of Labor to certify that any alien seeking to enter the United States for the purpose of performing skilled or unskilled labor is not adversely affecting wages and working conditions of U.S. workers similarly employed and that there are not sufficient U.S. workers able, willing, and qualified to perform such skilled or unskilled labor. Before any employer may request any skilled or unskilled alien labor, it must submit a request for certification to the Secretary of Labor containing the elements prescribed by the INA or meet one of the exceptions in the INA. Both the Department of Labor and the Department of Homeland Security have promulgated regulations to implement these sections of the INA. The relevant regulations are 20 CFR 655.1-4, 20 CFR 655.90-113, 20 CFR 655.200-215, 8 CFR 204.5(k)(4)(ii), and 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5) and (6). II. Review Focus The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments which: • 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. III. Current Actions In order to meet its statutory responsibilities under the INA, the Department needs to extend an existing collection of information pertaining to employers seeking to import foreign labor. The form used to collect the information is utilized not only by the Department, but also by other federal agencies to meet the requirements of the INA. The Department uses the information collected to implement several of its nonimmigrant worker programs, including the H-2A and H-2B temporary work programs, and for both permanent and temporary programs for the employment of alien professional athletes. The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, utilizes the form for its National Interest Waiver program for employment-sponsored immigration. *Type of Review:* Extension. *Agency:* Employment and Training Administration. *Title:* Application for Alien Employment Certification. *OMB Number:* 1205-0015. *Agency Number(s):* Form ETA 750. *Recordkeeping:* On occasion. *Affected Public:* Individuals, businesses or other for-profits and not-for-profit institutions, and farms. *Total Respondents:* 38,435. *Estimated Total Burden Hours:* 56,145 hours annually to the respondents and 134,522 hours annually to the Federal government. *Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):* 0. *Total Burden Cost (operating/maintaining):* $1,403,625 annually to respondents and $4,307,833 annually to the Federal government.

(202)693-2768; or by e-mail at *ETA.OFLC.Forms@dol.gov* subject line: Form 9033. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The information collection is required by section 258 of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA)(8 U.S.C. 1288). The INA has a prevailing practice exception to the general prohibition on the performance of longshore work by alien crewmembers in U.S. ports. Under the prevailing practice exception, before any employer may use alien crewmembers to perform longshore activities in U.S. ports, it must submit an attestation to the Secretary of Labor containing the elements prescribed by the INA. The INA further requires that the Secretary of Labor make available for public examination in Washington, DC a list of employers that have filed attestations and, for each of these employers, a copy of the employer's attestation and accompanying documentation received by the Secretary. II. Review Focus The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments which: • 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. III. Current Actions In order to meet its statutory responsibilities under the INA, the Department needs to extend an existing collection of information pertaining to employers seeking to use alien crewmembers to perform longshore activities in U.S. ports. ETA has not received any attestations under the prevailing practice exception within the last three years. An information collection request will be submitted to increase the burden should activities recommence. *Type of Review:* Extension. *Agency:* Employment and Training Administration. *Title:* Attestations by Employers Using Alien Crewmembers for Longshore Activities in U.S. Ports. *OMB Number:* 1205-0309. *Agency Number(s):* Form ETA 9033. *Recordkeeping:* On occasion. *Affected Public:* Businesses or other for-profits. *Total Respondents:* 0. *Estimated Total Burden Hours:* 4. *Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):* 0. *Total Burden Cost (operating/maintaining):* 0.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 188 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act of 1972, as established under 29 CFR part 75, authorizes the United States Department of Agriculture to make or guarantee loans or grants to finance industrial and business activities in rural areas. The Secretary of Labor must review the application for financial assistance for the purpose of certifying to the Secretary of Agriculture that the assistance is not calculated, or likely, to result in:
(a)A transfer of any employment or business activity from one area to another by the loan applicant's business operation; or,
(b)An increase in the production of goods, materials, services, or facilities in an area where there is not sufficient demand to employ the efficient capacity of existing competitive enterprises unless the financial assistance will not have an adverse impact on existing competitive enterprises in the area. The Employment and Training Administration within the Department of Labor is responsible for the review and certification process. Comments should address the two bases for certification and, if possible, provide data to assist in the analysis of these issues. Signed: at Washington, DC this 3rd of July, 2007. Gay M.
