Description: The purpose of this request for review is for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to obtain clearance for the Volunteer Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS), scheduled to be conducted in September 2007. The CPS has been the PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 principal source of the official Government statistics on employment and unemployment for over 60 years. Collection of labor force data through the CPS helps BLS meet its mandate as set forth in Title 29, United States Code, Sections 1 through 9. As part of the CPS, supplement questions will survey individuals ages 15 and over from a nationally representative sample of approximately 60,000 U.S. households. The BLS is continuing this project at the request of the Corporation for National and Community Service. The Volunteer Supplement provides information on the total number of individuals in the U.S. involved in unpaid volunteer activities, measures of the frequency or intensity with which individuals volunteer, types of organizations that facilitate volunteerism, activities in which volunteers participate, and the prevalence of volunteering more than 120 miles from home or abroad. Because the Volunteer Supplement is part of the CPS, the same detailed demographic information collected in the CPS is available about respondents to the Supplement. Thus, comparisons of volunteer activities are possible across respondent characteristics including sex, race, age, and educational. It is intended that the Supplement will be conducted annually, if resources permit, in order to gauge changes in volunteerism. Ira L. Mills, Departmental Clearance Officer/Team Leader. [FR Doc.

published in the Federal Register on May 17, 2007 (72 FR 27855).
    Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c) reconsideration may be granted under 
the following circumstances:
    (1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered 
that the determination complained of was erroneous;
    (2) If it appears that the determination complained of was based on 
a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or
    (3) If in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a mis-
interpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of the 
decision.
    The TAA petition filed on behalf of workers at American 
Manufacturing International Inc., Patterson, New Jersey engaged in the 
retailing of chemicals was denied because the petitioning workers did 
not produce an article within the meaning of Section 222 of the Act.
    The petitioner contends that the Department erred in its 
interpretation of work performed at the subject facility as providing a 
service and further conveys that workers of the subject firm mix 
various chemicals using recipes and then sell them to textile plants.
    A company official was contacted for clarification in regard to the 
nature of the work performed at the subject facility. The official 
stated that the subject firm has outsourced production of chemicals to 
another independent company since 2004. The official clarified that 
workers of the subject firm did not mix or react chemicals in 2006 and 
January through April of 2007.
    Moreover, a review of the record established that only one worker 
was separated from American Manufacturing International, Inc.,

the relevant period, workers of American Manufacturing International,

requirements for trade adjustment assistance, since

Conclusion

    After review of the application and investigative findings, I 
conclude that there has been no error or misinterpretation of the law 
or of the facts which would justify reconsideration of the Department 
of Labor's prior decision. Accordingly, the application is denied.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 23rd day of May, 2007.
