Spring Viremia of Carp; Payment of Indemnity
We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the general indemnity regulations to provide for the payment of indemnity to owners for fish destroyed because of spring viremia of carp. We also amended the interstate movement regulations to prevent the movement of fish infected with or exposed to spring viremia of carp.

Phytophthora Ramorum; Vacuum Heat Treatment for Bay Leaves
We are proposing to amend the Plant Protection and Quarantine Treatment Manual, which is incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations, to allow leaves of the California bay laurel (Umbellularia californica) to be treated with vacuum heat before being moved interstate from any area quarantined because of Phytophthora ramorum. This action would provide an alternative to the currently approved hot water dip used to treat greenery of host plants, specifically California bay laurel leaves, which ruins the suitability of the leaves for use as a dried spice.

Trade Adjustment Assistance Program; Designation of Certifying Officers
The trade adjustment assistance program operates under the Trade Act of 1974 to furnish program benefits to domestic workers adversely affected in their employment by imports of articles which are like or are directly competitive with articles produced by the firm employing the workers. The Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform Act of 2002 amended the Trade Act of 1974, to extend eligibility to those workers whose firm shifted production to certain foreign countries; to workers of upstream supplier firms selling components to firms whose workers have received a certification of eligibility to apply for trade adjustment assistance; to workers of downstream producer firms engaged in assembly or finishing for firms whose workers have received a certification of eligibility to apply for trade adjustment assistance based on a shift in production or increased imports from Mexico or Canada; and added the program option of alternative trade adjustment assistance for older workers over age 50 years. Workers become eligible for program benefits only if the worker group is certified under the Act as eligible to apply for adjustment assistance and/or alternative trade adjustment assistance. From time to time the agency issues an Order designating or redesignating officials of the agency authorized to act as certifying officers, responsible for reviewing and signing adjustment assistance determinations. Employment and Training Order No. 1-05, was issued to revise the listing of officials designated as certifying officers, superseding the previous Order. Employment and Training Order No. 1-05, is published below.
