Abingdon, Virginia. The application did
not contain new information supporting
a conclusion that the determination was
erroneous, and also did not provide a
justification for reconsideration of the
determination that was based on either
mistaken facts or a misinterpretation of
facts or of the law. Therefore, dismissal
of the application was issued.

After careful review of the

Messier Services, Inc., a Subsidiary of
the Safran Group, Sterling, VA; Notice
of Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application of November 29, 2005,
a company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department of Labor’s Notice of
Negative Determination Regarding
Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to
workers of the subject firm. The
negative determination was signed on
November 17, 2005. The Department’s
Notice of Determination will soon be
published in the Federal Register.
The negative determination was based
on the findings that the workers do not
produce an article but are engaged in
the repair and overhaul of landing gear
and hydraulics components. Although
the firm or appropriate subdivision
produced an article, the petitioning
worker group did not support this
production. The predominant cause of
worker separations is the shift of
landing gear and hydraulics repair
services from the Sterling, Virginia
location to an affiliated facility in
Mexico.
The request for reconsideration states
that the workers at the subject firm sell
spare parts, manufacture bushings (a
landing gear component) and rotables
(remanufactured completed landing gear
units sold to the airline industry).
The Department has carefully
reviewed the company’s request for
reconsideration and has determined that
the Department will conduct further

ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance 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. ETA is soliciting
comments concerning the revised
financial reporting requirements for all
ETA programs which do not otherwise
have OMB approved program-specific
financial reporting requirements.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addressee’s section below on or before
March 6, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
This proposed information collection
notice is requesting a revised financial
reporting collection format for all ETA
programs currently reporting on the
OMB approved Standard Form (SF) 269
(REV 9–99.) The basic financial
reporting requirements for all Federal
programs are prescribed by OMB
Circulars A–102 and A–110. These
requirements are codified in Department
of Labor Regulations at 29 CFR 95.52
and 29 CFR 97.41, which specify that
the SF 269 or such other forms that may
be approved by OMB are authorized for
obtaining financial information from
recipients. Further, the revised U.S.
DOL ETA Financial Report is consistent
with OMB efforts to streamline Federal
financial reporting, pursuant to Public
Law 106–107.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the Department is soliciting
comments concerning the revised
financial reporting collection format for
all ETA programs which currently
report on the SF 269 to:
• 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.

Notice of Intent To Audit
Copyright Office, Library of
Congress.
ACTION: Public notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Copyright Office of the
Library of Congress is announcing
receipt of eleven notices of intent to
audit eligible nonsubscription and new
subscription services that transmit
sound recordings under statutory
licenses. The audits intend to verify
statements of account for the years 2002,
2003, and 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
106(6) of the Copyright Act, title 17 of
the United States Code, gives the
copyright owner of a sound recording
the right to perform the sound recording
publicly by means of a digital audio
transmission, subject to certain
limitations. Among these limitations are
certain exemptions and a statutory
license which allows for the public
performance of sound recordings as part
of ‘‘eligible nonsubscription
transmissions’’ and digital
transmissions made by ‘‘new

subscription services.’’ 1 17 U.S.C. 114.
Moreover, these services may make any
necessary ephemeral reproductions to
facilitate the digital transmission of the
sound recording under a second license
set forth in section 112(e) of the
Copyright Act. Use of these licenses
requires that services make payments of
royalty fees to and file reports of sound
recording performances with
SoundExchange. SoundExchange is a
collecting rights entity that was
designated by the Librarian of Congress
to collect statements of account and
royalty fee payments from services and
distribute the royalty fees to copyright
owners and performers entitled to
receive such royalties under sections
112(e) and 114(g) following a
proceeding 2 before a Copyright
Arbitration Royalty Panel (‘‘CARP’’)—
the entity responsible for setting rates
and terms for use of the section 112 and
section 114 licenses prior to the passage
of the Copyright Royalty and
Distribution Reform Act of 2004
1 An ‘‘eligible nonsubscription transmission’’ is a
noninteractive digital audio transmission which, as
the name implies, does not require a subscription
for receiving the transmission. The transmission
must also be made as a part of a service that
provides audio programming consisting in whole or
in part of performances of sound recordings the
primary purpose of which is to provide audio or
entertainment programming, but not to sell,
advertise, or promote particular goods or services.
See 17 U.S.C. 114(j)(6).
A ‘‘new subscription service’’ is ‘‘a service that
performs sound recordings by means of
noninteractive subscription digital audio
transmissions and that is not a preexisting
subscription or a preexisting satellite digital audio
radio service.’’ 17 U.S.C. 114(j)(8).
