The complaint, filed concurrently

under Sections 309 and 504 of the Clean
Water Act (‘‘CWA’’), 33 U.S.C. 1319 &
1364, Section 13 of the Rivers & Harbors
Act of 1899 (‘‘R&HA’’), 33 U.S.C. 407,
and State law. The complaint alleges
that defendants James H. Pflueger,
Pflueger Properties, and Pilaa 400 LLC
illegally discharged storm water
associated with their construction
activities on the Island of Kauai, Hawaii,
and seeks civil penalties and injunctive
relief. The federal claims in the
proposed complaint also include a
claim for injunctive relief under R&HA
Section 13, 33 U.S.C. 407, to address
sediment discharges from defendants’
property, and claims for civil penalties

Badger Paper Mills, Inc., Pestigo, WI,
and Oconto Falls, WI; 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), and
section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26
U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the
Department of Labor issued a split
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for benefits available
under the Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) Program. On March 22, 2004, the
Department certified workers of Badger
Paper Mills, Inc., Peshtigo, Wisconsin as
E:\FR\FM\22MRN1.SGM
22MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 22, 2006 / Notices
eligible to apply for TAA but not
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA). The Department’s
Notice was published in the Federal
Register on May 24, 2004 (69 FR 29578).
On May 25, 2004, a Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
regarding the workers’ eligibility to
apply for ATAA was issued. The
Department’s Notice was published in
the Federal Register on June 8, 2004 (69
FR 32046).
At the request of a company official,
the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject
firm. The company official stated that
the petition was intended to cover
workers at the Peshtigo and Oconto
Falls, Wisconsin facilities.
Information provided by the company
official reveals that a significant
proportion of workers at the Oconto
Falls, Wisconsin facility were separated
or threatened with separation during the
relevant period and that the two Badger
Paper Mills facilities operate as one
manufacturing unit producing paper
products. Further, new information
provided by the company official reveal
that a significant portion of workers at
the Oconto Falls, Wisconsin facility are
age fifty years or older, that workers
possess skills which are not easily
transferable to other jobs in the local
area, and that conditions in the industry
are adverse.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include employees of
Badger Paper Mills, Inc., Oconto Falls,
Wisconsin.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–54,242 is hereby issued as
follows:
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
All workers of Badger Paper Mills, Inc.,
Peshtigo, Wisconsin (TA–W–54,242) and
Badger Paper Mills, Inc., Oconto Falls,
Wisconsin (TA–W–54,242A) who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 9, 2003,
through March 22, 2006, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, are also eligible to
apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.

Charter Fabrics, Inc., New York, NY;
Notice of Revised Determination of
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on Remand
Duffy Tool & Stamping, LLC., Muncie,
IN; Notice of Termination of
Investigation
On February 14, 2006, the U.S. Court
of International Trade (USCIT) granted
the Department’s motion for voluntary
remand in Former Employees of Charter
Fabrics, Inc. v. United States Secretary
of Labor, Court No. 05–00652.
A negative determination regarding
the subject workers’ eligibility to apply
for Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) was issued on
September 7, 2005. The determination
stated that the investigation revealed
that the skills of the worker group were
easily transferable to other positions in
the local commuting area.
During the remand investigation, the
Department contacted the human
resources official at the subject firm for
information related to the ATAA
investigation. Information provided by
this company official revealed that there
were few available jobs in the local area
and in the industry at the time of
separation.
At least five percent of the workforce
at the subject firm is at least fifty years
of age. Workers possess skills that are
not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are
adverse.
Pursuant to section 221 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended, an
investigation was initiated on January
30, 2006 in response to a worker
petition filed by the International
Union, United Automobile, Aerospace
and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America (UAW), Local 3054 on behalf of
workers of Duffy Tool & Stamping, LLC.,
Muncie, Indiana.
The petitioner has requested that the
petition be withdrawn. Consequently,
the investigation has been terminated.
Conclusion
Harris Bank, Chicago, IL; Notice of
Termination of Investigation
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that the requirements of
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended, have been met for workers at
the subject firm.
In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following
certification:
‘‘All workers of Charter Fabrics, Inc., New
York, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after September 29, 2002 through December
31, 2005, 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.’’

Act of 1974, as amended, an
investigation was initiated on February
22, 2006, in response to a petition filed
on behalf of workers at Harris Bank,
Chicago, Illinois.
The Department has determined that
this petition is a photocopy of petition
number TA–W–58,814, which was
received on February 9, 2006. That
petition investigation resulted in a
negative determination issued on
February 17, 2006, regarding the
eligibility for workers of Harris N.A.,
Wire Transfer Department, a subsidiary
of The Bank of Montreal Financial
Group, Chicago, Illinois, to apply for
worker adjustment assistance and
alternative trade adjustment assistance.
Consequently, further investigation
would serve no purpose, and the
