Tenneco, Inc.; Clevite-Pullman
Division; Mila, OH; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration of
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
By letter dated April 27, 2006, a
petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration regarding Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA)
applicable to workers of the subject
firm. The negative determination was
signed on April 19, 2006, and was
published in the Federal Register on
May 10, 2006 (71 FR 27292).
The workers of Tenneco, Inc., ClevitePullman Division, Milan, Ohio were
certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on April
19, 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
petitioner 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 and a contact
with the company official 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:

ACTION:

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden

and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed.
Currently, the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the extension of
the information collection related to the
30 CFR Sections 44.9, 44.10, and 44.11;
Petitions for Modification of Mandatory
Safety Standards.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
August 8, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 811(c), provides that a
mine operator or a representative of
miners may petition the Secretary of
Labor (Secretary) to modify the
application of a mandatory safety
standard. 30 CFR Part 44 formally
delegates the Secretary’s authority to
receive petitions to the Director of the

09JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 111 / Friday, June 9, 2006 / Notices
Office of Standards, Regulations, and
Variances and the authority to issue
proposed decisions to the
Administrators for Coal and Metal/
Nonmetal. A petition for modification
may be granted if the Secretary
determines (1) that an alternative
method of achieving the results of the
standard exists and that it will
guarantee, at all times, no less than the
same measure of protection for the
miners affected as that afforded by the
standard, or (2) that the application of
the standard will result in a diminution
of safety to the miners affected.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is particularly interested in
comments that
• 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.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the employee listed in the
