Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 25, 2005 / Notices
Lung Benefits Act, at 20 CFR 725.701,
establishes miner eligibility for medical
services and supplies for the length of
time required by the miner’s condition
and disability. 20 CFR.706 stipulates
there must be prior approval before
ordering an apparatus where the
purchase price exceeds $300.00. 20 CFR
725.707 provides for the ongoing
supervision of the miner’s medical care,
including the necessity, character and
sufficiency of care to be furnished; gives
the authority to request medical reports
and indicates the right to refuse
payment for failing to submit any report
required. Because of the above
legislation and regulations, it was
necessary to devise a form to collect the
required information. The CM–893,
Certificate of Medical Necessity is
completed by the coal miner’s doctor
and is used by the Division of Coal Mine
Worker’s Compensation to determine if
the miner meets impairment standards
to qualify for durable medical
equipment, home nursing, and/or
pulmonary rehabilitation. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through November 30,
2005.
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
The Department of Labor seeks the
extension of approval to collect this
information in order to carry out its
responsibility to determine the
eligibility for reimbursement of medical
benefits to Black Lung recipients.
Type of Review: Extension.
Agency: Employment Standards

Butler Manufacturing Company,
Subsidary of Bluescope Steel, Ltd,
Buildings Division, Wall and Roof
Panels Production, Trim and
Componenets Production and
Secondaries Production, Galesburg,
IL; Negative Determination on
Reconsideration
On April 6, 2005, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
notice of determination was published
on April 25, 2005 in the Federal
Register (70 FR 21247). Workers of the
subject firm produce pre-engineered
metal building system parts, including
wall and roof panels, trim and
components, and secondaries (nonstructural parts).
The Department initially denied
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) to
workers of Butler Manufacturing
Company, Subsidiary of Bluescope
Steel, LTD, Building Division, Wall and
Roof Panels Production, Trim and
Components Production, and
Secondaries Production, Galesburg,
PO 00000

Illinois, because neither the shift of
production or the ‘‘contributed
importantly’’ group eligibility
requirements of the Trade Act of 1974,
as amended, were met.
The petitioners requesting
reconsideration questioned the
Department’s determination that
criterion (a)(2)(A)(I.B.) was not met. The
Department concurs and corrects that
finding to read that criterion
(a)(2)(A)(I.C.) was not met. Criterion
(a)(2)(A)(I.C.) requires that 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.
In response to the petitioners’
allegation that workers are not
separately identifiable by product line,
the Department contacted company
officials and petitioners to address the
issue. The determination that the
workers are separately identifiable by
product line was based on information
provided by the subject company during
the initial investigation. Based on
information provided during the
reconsideration investigation, the
Department finds that workers are
interchangeable and are not separately
identifiable by production line.
The initial investigation also revealed
that during the investigation period of
2003 through 2004, the subject company
did not import products like or directly
competitive with wall and roof panels,
trim and components, or secondaries,
nor did it shift production of these
articles abroad.
A survey of the subject company’s
major declining customers conducted
during the initial investigation revealed
no imports of products like or directly
competitive with those produced by the
subject company during the
investigatory period.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioners also allege that the subject
company will open foreign
manufacturing facilities which would
incorporate a Butler manufacturing
facility for pre-engineered buildings:
three facilities in India by May-June
2005, and two facilities in China by
mid-2006.
While the alleged shifts of production
fall outside the scope of the
investigation, the Department contacted
the subject company and the workers to
address the petitioners’ allegations.
A careful review of the information
obtained from the subject company and
the workers during the reconsideration
investigation confirmed that during
2003 and 2004, the subject firm did not
E:\FR\FM\25MYN1.SGM
25MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 25, 2005 / Notices
shift either wall and roof panels, trim
and components, or secondaries
production abroad, and revealed that
beginning in 2005, production of these
articles is shifting to affiliated
production facilities in Tennessee,
Texas, and North Carolina.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the worker group must be
certified eligible to apply for trade
adjustment assistance (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
Butler Manufacturing Company,
Subsidiary of Bluescope Steel, LTD,
Building Division, Wall and Roof Panels
Production, Trim and Components
Production, and Secondaries

Eagle Picher Automotive, Hillsdale
Division, Including On-Site Leased
Workers of Hamilton-Ryker, Staffing
Solutions and Randstad, Manchester,
TN; 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) the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on March 25, 2005,
applicable to workers of Eagle Picher

Hamilton-Ryker and Staffing Solutions,
Manchester, Tennessee. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on
May 2, 2005 (70 FR 22711).
At the request of a company official,
the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject
firm. New information shows that
leased workers of Randstad were
employed on-site at the Manchester,
Tennessee location of Eagle Picher
Automotive, Hillsdale Division.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers
of Randstad working at Eagle Picher
Automotive, Hillsdale Division,
Manchester, Tennessee.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers
employed at Eagle Picher Automotive,
Hillsdale Division who was adversely
affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–56,778 is hereby issued as
follows:
‘‘All workers of the Hillsdale Division of
Eagle Picher Automotive, including on-site
leased workers of Hamilton-Ryker, Staffing
Solutions, and Randstad, Manchester,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after
March 16, 2004, through March 25, 2007, 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.’’
