production, recreation, and other
environmental resources; (2) provide
mainstream U.S. users of Colorado River
water, particularly those in the Lower
Division states, a greater degree of
predictability with respect to the
amount of annual water deliveries in
future years, particularly under drought
and low reservoir conditions; and, (3)
provide additional mechanisms for the
storage and delivery of water supplies in
Lake Mead.
The Draft EIS presents four possible
action alternatives for implementation,
plus a ‘‘No Action Alternative.’’
Reclamation has not identified a
preferred alternative in this Draft EIS.
The preferred alternative will be
identified following public comments
on the Draft EIS and will be expressed
in the Final EIS. The action alternatives
reflect input from Reclamation staff, the
cooperating agencies, stakeholders, and
other interested parties. Reclamation
received two written proposals for
alternatives that met the purpose and
need of the proposed federal action, one
from the Basin States and another from
a consortium of environmental
organizations. These proposals were
used and refined by Reclamation to
formulate two of the alternatives
considered and analyzed in this Draft
EIS: the Basin States Alternative and the
Conservation Before Shortage
Alternative. A third alternative (Water
Supply Alternative) was developed by
Reclamation and a fourth alternative
(Reservoir Storage Alternative) was
developed in coordination with the NPS
and Western.
The Basin States Alternative proposes
a coordinated operation of Lake Powell
and Lake Mead that would minimize
shortages in the Lower Basin and avoid
the risk of curtailments of use in the
Upper Basin. This alternative also
provides a mechanism, Intentionally
Created Surplus (ICS), for promoting
water conservation in the Lower Basin.
The Conservation Before Shortage
Alternative includes voluntary,
compensated reductions in water use to
minimize involuntary shortages in the
Lower Basin and avoid risk of
curtailments of use in the Upper Basin.
This alternative also provides a
mechanism for promoting water
conservation in the Lower Basin by
expanding the ICS mechanism.
The Water Supply Alternative is
intended to maximize water deliveries
at the expense of retaining water in
storage in the reservoirs for future use.
This alternative would implement
shortages only when insufficient water
to meet entitlements is available in Lake
Mead.

The Reservoir Storage Alternative
would keep more water in storage in
Lake Powell and Lake Mead by reducing
water deliveries and increasing
shortages to benefit power and
recreational interests; and this
alternative also provides a mechanism
for promoting water conservation in the
Lower Basin.

By letter dated February 8, 2007, a

PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703

the Federal Register on February 14,
2007 (72 FR 7087).
The workers of Airtex Products LP,
including on-site leased workers of
Staffmark and Aid Temporary Services,
Inc., Marked Tree, Arkansas were
certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on
January 24, 2007.
The initial ATAA investigation
determined that there was not a
significant number of workers in the
workers’ firm that are 50 years of age or
older, and 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 resubmitted correct
employment numbers which show that
a significant number or proportion of
the worker group of the subject firm are
fifty years of age or older. The company
official also 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 Airtex Products LP,
including on-site leased workers of Staffmark
and Aid Temporary Services, Inc., Marked
Tree, Arkansas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after October 20, 2005 through January 24,
2009, 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.

February, 2007.
