<![CDATA[

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 7, 2006 / Notices
negative determination was signed on
March 31, 2006, and was published in
the Federal Register on April 17, 2006
(71 FR 19755).
The workers of New England
Confectionery Company (Necco), Stark
Candy Company, Thibodaux, Louisiana
were certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on March
31, 2006.
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.
Conclusion
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 New England Confectionery
Company (Necco), Stark Candy Company,
Thibodaux, Louisiana, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after March 16, 2005 through March 31, 2008,
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.
Signed in Washington, DC this 22nd day of
May, 2006.

Stucki Embroidery Works, Inc.,
Fairview, NJ; Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application of May 17, 2006, 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
determination was issued on April 14,
2006. The Department’s Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register on April 24, 2006 (71
FR 21044). Workers produced
embroidered stars for American flags.
In the request for reconsideration, the
company official stated that the subject
firm produces a variety of products,
including embroidered stars and lace.
A review of previously-submitted
material reveal that another company
official indicated that the subject
workers produced embroidered star
fields for American flags.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
based on new information provided and
review of the initial decision and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation.
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. The application
is, therefore, granted.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is
responsible for the administration of the
Secretary of Labor’s Opportunity
Award, Exemplary Voluntary Effort
(EVE), and Exemplary Public Interest
Contribution (EPIC) Awards. These
awards are presented annually to
Federal contractors and non-profit
organizations whose activities support
the mission of the OFCCP. The
recognition of Federal contractors who
are in compliance with the OFCCP
regulations and who work with
community and public interest
organizations sends a positive message
throughout the U.S. Labor Force and
business community.
The Secretary of Labor’s Opportunity
and EVE award recipients must be
Federal contractors covered by
Executive Order 11246, as amended;
Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, as
amended, and the Vietnam Era
Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act,
as amended.
The Secretary of Labor’s Opportunity
Award is presented to one contractor
each year that has established and
instituted comprehensive workforce
strategies to ensure equal employment
opportunity. The EVE Award is given to
those contractors who have
demonstrated through programs or
activities, exemplary and innovative
efforts to create an inclusive American
Workforce. The EPIC Award is
presented to public interest
organizations that have supported equal
employment opportunity and linked
their efforts with those of the Federal
contractors to enhance employment

opportunities for those with the least
opportunity to join the workforce.
Guidelines for the nomination process
can be found in Administrative Notice
Number 261 dated January 21, 2003; to
view the Notice visit OFCCP web page
address at https://www.dol.gov/esa/
media/reports/ofccp/evedr261.pdf. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through January 31,
2007.
II. Review Focus
The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• 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.
III. Current Actions
OFCCP seeks a three-year extension
for the approval of the Secretary of
Labor’s Opportunity Award, Exemplary
Voluntary Effort (EVE), and Exemplary
Public Interest Contribution (EPIC)
Awards. There is no change in the
substance or method of collection since
the last OMB approval. OFCCP revised
the burden hour estimates associated
with the awards based on the number of
nominations received for Calendar Year
(CY) 2005. During CY 2005, OFCCP
received two (2) Secretary’s
Opportunity, seventeen (17) EVE, and
twenty (20) EPIC award nominations.
This information collection recognizes
outstanding Federal contractors and
non-profit public interest organizations
with exceptional equal opportunity and
nondiscrimination programs that
support the OFCCP mission.
Type of Review: Extension.
Agency: Employment Standards
Administration.
