Paxar Americas, Inc.; a Subsidiary of
Paxar Corporation; Sayer, PA; Notice
of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration of Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance
By letter dated December 9, 2005, a
company official requested
administrative reconsideration
regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) applicable to
workers of the subject firm. The
negative determination was signed on
November 10, 2005, and was published
in the Federal Register on December 6,
2005 (70 FR 72654).
The workers of Paxar Americas, Inc.,
a subsidiary of Paxar Corporation,
Sayer, Pennsylvania, were certified
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) on November 10,
2005.
The initial ATAA investigation
determined that the skills of the subject
worker group are easily transferable to
other positions in the local area.
In the request for reconsideration, the
company official provided new
information confirming that the skills of
the workers at the subject firm are not
easily transferable in the local
commuting area.
Additional investigation has
determined that the workers possess
skills that are not easily transferable. A
significant number or proportion of the
worker group are age fifty years or over.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.

amended, have been met for workers at
the subject firm.

the Act, I make the following

Section 302(a) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 846, requires that a roof
control plan and revisions thereof
suitable to the roof conditions and
mining system of each coal mine be first
approved by the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) before implementation by
the operator. The plan must show the
type of support and spacing approved
by the Secretary, and the plan must be
reviewed at least every 6 months by the
Secretary.
Under 30 CFR 75.221, the information
required to be submitted and approved
in the roof control plan includes the
following: (1) The name and address of
the company; (2) the name, address,
mine identification number, and
location of the mine; (3) the name and
title of the company official responsible
for the plan; (4) a description of the
mine strata; (5) a description and
drawings of the sequence of installation
and spacing of supports for each method
of mining used; (6) the maximum
distance that an ATRS system is to be
set beyond the last row of permanent
support (if appropriate); (7)
specifications and installation
procedures for liners or arches (if
appropriate); (8) drawings indicating the
planned width of openings, size of
pillars, method of pillar recovery, and
the sequence of mining pillars; (9) a list
of all support materials required to be
used in the roof, face and rib control
system; (10) the intervals at which test
holes will be drilled (if appropriate);
and (11) a description of the methods to
be used for the protection of persons.
Under 30 CFR 75.215, the roof control
plan for each longwall mining section is
required to specify the methods that
will be used to maintain a safe
travelway out of the section through the
tailgate side of the longwall and the
procedures that will be followed if a
ground failure prevents travel out of the
section through the tailgate side of the
longwall.

II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension of the information collection
requirement related to Roof Control
Plans. MSHA is particularly interested
in comments that:
* Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of MSHA’s
functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
* Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
* Suggest methods to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
* Address 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) to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the employee listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice or
viewed on the Internet by accessing the
MSHA home page (https://
www.msha.gov) and then choosing
‘‘Compliance Assistance’’, ‘‘Compliance
Information’’ and the ‘‘Paperwork
Reduction Act Submissions.’’
wwhite on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Falls of roof, face and rib continue to
be a cause of injuries and death in
underground coal mines. All
underground coal mine operators are
required to develop and submit roof
control plans to MSHA for evaluation
and approval. These plans provide the
means to instruct miners, who install
roof supports, and the minimum
requirements and placement of roof
supports. The plan also provides a
reference for mine supervisors to assist
them in compliance with the plan
requirements. In that regard the plan is
a working document for the miners.
