Description: The Copeland Act (40
U.S.C. 3145) requires contractors and
subcontractors performing work on
Federally financed or assisted
construction contracts to ‘‘furnish
weekly a statement with respect to the
wages paid each employee during the
preceding week.’’ Regulations 29 CFR
5.5(a)(3)(ii) requires contractors weekly
to submit a copy of all payrolls to the
Federal agency contracting for or
financing the construction project. A
signed ‘‘Statement of Compliance’’
indicating the payrolls are correct and
complete and that each laborer or
mechanic has been paid not less than
the proper Davis-Bacon Act prevailing
wage rate for the work performed must
accompany the payroll.
Regulations 29 CFR 3.3(b) requires
each contractor to furnish such weekly
‘‘Statements of Compliance.’’
Regulations 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i) requires
the Social Security Number of each
employee on such payrolls.
Regulations 29 CFR 3.4 and
5.5(a)(3)(i) require contractors to
maintain these records for three years
after completion of the work.
Contractors and subcontractors must
certify their payrolls by attesting that
persons performing work on DavisBacon and Related Acts (DBRA) covered
contracts have received the proper
payment of wages and fringe benefits.
Contracting officials and Wage and Hour
Division staff use these certified
payrolls to verify that contractors pay
the required rates and as an aid in
determining whether the contractors
have properly classified the workers for
the work they perform. The DOL has
developed the optional use Form WH–
347, Payroll Form, which contractors
may use to meet the payroll reporting
requirements. The form contains the
basic payroll information that
PO 00000
Frm 00047

contractors must furnish each week they
perform any work subject to the DBRA.

B.A.G. Corporation; Winzen Film, Inc.;

Amended Certification Regarding
Eligibility To Apply for Worker

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26
U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on October 18, 2005,
applicable to workers of B.A.G.
Corporation, a Division of Super Sack
Bag, Inc., Savoy, Texas. The notice was

At the request of the State agency, the

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 19 / Monday, January 30, 2006 / Notices
activities for an affiliated plant engaged
in the production of flexible
intermediate bulk containers (bulk
bags).
New information shows that the
B.A.G. Corporation, Winzen Film, Inc.

Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to properly
reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
B.A.G. Corporation, Savoy, Texas who
were adversely affected by a shift of
production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–57,978 is hereby issued as
follows:
‘‘All workers of B.A.G. Corporation,
Winzen Film, Inc. and Better Agriculture,
Goals, A Division of Super Sack Bag, Inc.,

Joy Technologies, Inc.; DBA Joy
Mining Machinery; Mt. Vernon Plant;
Mt. Vernon, IL; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On November 16, 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 regarding Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) was published in
the Federal Register on December 15,
2005 (70 FR 74373).
The International Brotherhood of
Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders,
Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers, Local
483, (‘‘Union’’) filed a petition on behalf
of workers producing underground
mining machinery (i.e. shuttle cars,
electrical motors, gearboxes, and
armored face conveyors) at the subject
facility. Workers are not separately
identifiable by product line.
The initial investigation revealed that
sales and employment at the subject
facility increased in 2004 from 2003
levels, that sales remained stable in
January through July 2005 over the
corresponding 2004 period, and that
employment increased during January
through July 2005 over the
corresponding 2004 period. Companywide sales increased during January
through July 2005 from January through
July 2005 levels.
The investigation also revealed that
the subject firm did not import articles
like or directly competitive with those
produced at the subject firm or shift
production abroad. The Department
determined that the worker separations
at the subject firm are attributable to the
firm’s shift in production from the
subject facility to another domestic
production facility.
In a letter dated November 3, 2005,
two workers and the Union requested
administrative reconsideration. The
request stated that the subject facility is
‘‘an upstream supplier to the Joy Mining
Machinery facility’’ located in Franklin,
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
4937
Pennsylvania and alleged that
component production is being shifted
to Mexico.
While the Union had filed the petition
as primarily-affected (affected by
imports or production shift of articles
produced at the subject facility), the
request for reconsideration is based on
a secondarily-affected position (affected
by loss of business as a supplier/
assembler/finisher of products or
components for a TAA certified firm).
Although the request for reconsideration
is beyond the scope of the petition, the
Department conducted an investigation
to address the workers’ and Union’s
allegations.
As part of the reconsideration
investigation, the Department contacted
the petitioning workers, Union
representatives, and the subject
company for additional information and
clarification of previously-submitted
information.
Joy Mining Machinery, Franklin,
Pennsylvania, was certified for TAA on
January 19, 2000 (expired January 19,
2002). Because the investigation
revealed that employment, sales and
production levels at the Franklin,
Pennsylvania facility increased during
relevant period and TAA certification
for Joy Mining Machinery, Franklin,
Pennsylvania had expired prior to the
relevant period, the workers cannot be
certified for TAA as secondarilyaffected.
The reconsideration investigation also
revealed that the subject company does
not have a Mexico facility which
produces articles which are like or
directly competitive with those
produced at the subject facility, that the
work at issue is temporary work which
was assigned to several subject company
facilities (including the Mt. Vernon,
Illinois facility) to help meet peak
demand, and that the ‘‘overflow’’ work
was for the production of articles not
normally produced at the subject
facility. The Department also confirmed
that work shifted from the subject
facility to an affiliated production
facility in Kentucky.
Conclusion
After review of the application and
investigative findings, I conclude that
there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
facts which would justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.
