Agency: Employee Benefits Security Administration. Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection. Title: Definition of Plan Assets— Participant Contributions. OMB Number: 1210–0100. Frequency: On occasion. Type of Response: Reporting and Third party disclosure. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit and Not-for-profit institutions. Number of Respondents: 1.

Total Burden Hours: 1. Total Annualized capital/startup costs: $0. Total Annual Costs (operating/ maintaining systems or purchasing services): $1,007. Description: The Department of Labor’s (the Department’s) regulation at 29 CFR 2510.3–102 states that monies that a participant pays to, or has withheld by, an employer for contribution to an employee benefit plan become ‘‘plan assets’’ for purposes of Title I of Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the related prohibited transaction provisions of the Internal Revenue Code as of the earliest date on which such monies can be reasonably segregated from the employer’s general assets. With respect to employee pension benefit plans, the regulation further sets a maximum time limit for such contributions: the 15th business day following the end of the month in which the participant contribution amounts are received or withheld by the employer. Under ERISA, ‘‘plan assets’’ cannot be held by the employer as part of its general assets, but must be contributed to the employee benefit plan to which they belong and, with few exceptions, held in trust. The regulation includes a procedure through which an employer receiving or withholding participant contributions VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:55 Apr 03, 2006 Jkt 208001 for an employee pension benefit plan may obtain a 10-business-day extension of the 15-day maximum time period if certain requirements, including information collection requirements, are met. The regulation requires, among other things, that the employer provide written notice to plan participants, within 5 business days after the end of the extension period and the employer’s transfer of the contributions to the plan, that the employer elected to take the extension for that month. The notice must explain why the employer could not transfer the participant contributions within the maximum time period, state that the participant contributions in question have in fact been transmitted to the plan, and provide the date on which this was done. The employer must also provide a copy of the participant notice to the Secretary, along with a certification that the notice was distributed to participants and that the other requirements under the extension procedure were met, within 5 business days after the end of the extension period. The information collections imposed under the regulation include third-party disclosures and disclosures to the government. The information collection is intended to protect participants by ensuring that they and the Department are aware of an employer’s failure to meet the regulatory time limits for transferring participant contributions to the employee pension benefit plan they are intended to fund. The Department and the affected participants can then take appropriate action to protect the plan assets. Requiring employers to make the disclosures also ensures that they follow the protective requirements that are part of the extension procedure. Ira L Mills, Departmental Clearance Officer. [FR Doc.

United States Secretary of Labor, Court No. 05–00372. On April 15, 2005, the Department issued a negative determination regarding workers eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) for workers and former workers of CTS Corporation, CTS Communications Components, Inc., Including On-Site Leased Workers of Excel and Spherion, Albuquerque, New Mexico, (CTS). Workers produce ceramic blocks/filters and sensors and are not separately identifiable by product line. The Department’s Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on May 16, 2005 (70 FR 25859). The determination was based on the findings that the subject company neither imported ceramic blocks/filters or sensors in 2003, 2004, or during the period of January through February 2005, nor shifted production of ceramic blocks/filters or sensors abroad during the relevant period, and that the subject company’s major declining customers did not increase imports of ceramic blocks/filters or sensors during the relevant period. On June 7, 2005, the Department dismissed a request for administrative reconsideration based upon a lack of substantial new information. In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleged that production shifted to China and that the customer are unknowingly importing ceramic blocks/filters and/or sensors from China. The dismissal stated that while production did shift to China, as alleged, neither the subject company nor its customers had increased imports of ceramic blocks/filters or sensors. The Department’s Notice of Dismissal of Application for Reconsideration was issued on June 8, 2005 and published in PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the Federal Register on June 20, 2005 (70 FR 35455). By letter dated May 7, 2005, the Plaintiffs applied to the USCIT for judicial review. On February 7, 2006, the USCIT granted the Department’s request for voluntary remand and directed the Department to conduct further investigation regarding the workers’ eligibility to apply for TAA and ATAA. During the remand investigation, the Department contacted the subject company to ascertain what products were produced at the subject facility during the relevant period and whether the subject company or its customers had imported those articles during the relevant period. A careful review of the newlyobtained information has revealed that the subject company had produced ceramic filters and ceramic sensors during 2003, 2004, and 2005 and that the workers were not separately identifiable by product line. The new information also revealed that some production of ceramic sensors shifted to China and that finished ceramic sensors manufactured in China were shipped to customers in the United States. 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. Conclusion After careful review of the facts generated through the remand investigation, I determine that increased imports of ceramic sensors like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of a significant number of workers at the subject facility. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: ‘‘All workers of CTS Corporation, CTS Communications Components, Inc., Including On-Site Leased Workers of Excel and Spherion, Albuquerque, New Mexico, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 28, 2004, through two years from the issuance of this revised determination, are eligible to apply for Trade 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.’’ E:\FR\FM\04APN1.SGM 04APN1
