Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Cotton Dust Standard information
collection codified in regulations 29
CFR 1910–1043. The purpose of the
Standard and its information collection
requirements is to provide protection for
employees from the adverse health
effects associated with occupational
exposure to cotton dust. An
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSH Act) covered employer subject to
the Standard must monitor employee
exposure, reduce employee exposure to
within permissible exposure limits,
provide employees with medical
examinations and training, and establish
and maintain employee exposure
monitoring and medical records. OSH
Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, and 8(c)
authorize this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, and 657(c).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1218–0061.

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
March 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
November 13, 2014 (79 FR 67462).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1218–0061. The OMB 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 submission of
responses.

Day & Zimmermann, Inc., Kansas
Division, Parsons, Kansas; Notice of
Negative Determination on
Reconsideration
On December 17, 2014, the
Department of Labor issued an
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration for the
workers and former workers of Day &
Zimmermann, Inc., Parsons, Kansas.
The notice was published in the Federal
Register on December 31, 2014 (79 FR
78911).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c),
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
findings that the subject firm did not
import high explosive mortar rounds
and demolition charges or shift
production to a foreign country of such
articles.
In the request for reconsideration, the
Kansas Department of Commerce
alleged workers at the subject firm had
been impacted by foreign competition as
production that could have taken place
at the subject firm had instead been
awarded to a firm in Canada.
According to 29 CFR 90.2, increased
imports means that imports have
increased either absolutely or relative to
domestic production compared to a
representative base period. The
representative base period shall be one
year consisting of the four quarters
immediately preceding the date which
is twelve months prior to the date of the
petition. This petition was filed in
October 2014. Therefore, the period
under investigation is 2012, 2013,
E:\FR\FM\19MRN1.SGM
19MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 53 / Thursday, March 19, 2015 / Notices
January through September 2013, and
January through September 2014.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department collected
additional information from the subject
firm and the customer of the subject
firm.
The information obtained confirmed
that neither the subject firm nor its
customer increased imports of articles
like or directly competitive with high
explosive mortar rounds and demolition
charges. Additionally, the production of
such articles did not shift to a foreign
country in the period under
investigation.
Therefore, after careful review of the
request for reconsideration, the
Department determines that 29 CFR
90.18(c) has not been met.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that
the requirements of Section 222 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272, have not been met
and, therefore, deny the petition for
group eligibility of Day & Zimmermann,
Inc., Parsons, Kansas, to apply for
adjustment assistance, in accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
2273.
Signed in Washington, DC on this 26th day
of February 2015.
