Schnadig Corporation, Montoursville,
PA; Notice of Negative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application dated September 3,
2007, a petitioner requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department’s negative determination
regarding eligibility for workers and
former workers of the subject firm to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA). The denial notice was signed on
August 3, 2007 and published in the
Federal Register on August 14, 2007 (72
FR 45451).
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
(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, which was filed on
behalf of workers at Schnadig
Corporation, Montoursville,
Pennsylvania engaged in the production
of lawn and garden products, was
denied based on the findings that during
the relevant time period, the subject
company did not separate or threaten to
separate a significant number or
proportion of workers, as required by
Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleges that because he was a
part of the initially certified worker
group and remained employed by the
subject firm after all the production
stopped and beyond the expiration date
of the original TAA certification, he
should be also eligible for TAA.
The workers of the subject firm were
previously certified eligible for TAA
(TA–W–55,198). This certification
expired on July 15, 2006. The
investigation revealed that production at
the subject firm ceased in August of
2004.
When assessing eligibility for TAA,
the Department exclusively considers
the relevant employment data (for one
year prior to the date of the petition and
any imminent layoffs) for the facility
where the petitioning worker group was
employed. In this case, the employment
since the expiration of the previous
certification was considered. The
subject firm did not separate or threaten
to separate a significant number of
proportion of workers as required by
Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Significant number or proportion of the
workers in a firm or appropriate
subdivision means at least three workers
in a workforce of fewer than 50 workers,
five percent of the workers in a
workforce of over 50 workers, or at least
50 workers.
Moreover, in its investigation, the
Department considers production that
occurred one year prior to the date of
the petition as required in the Trade
Adjustment Assistance regulations.
Thus the period ending in 2004 is
outside of the relevant period as
established by the current petition date
of July 12, 2007. The investigation
revealed that the subject facility did not
manufacture articles since 2004 and
workers of the subject firm were not
engaged in production of an article or
supporting production of the article
during the relevant time period. The
Department further found that no new
information was provided to contradict
the original negative findings.

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.

September, 2007.

Regarding Eligibility To Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26
U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on July 27, 2007, applicable
to workers of Syroco, Inc.,
Baldwinsville, New York. The notice
was published in the Federal Register
on August 9, 2007 (72 FR 44865).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that a worker
separation has occurred involving an
employee of the Baldwinsville, New
York facility of Syroco, Inc. located in
Houston, Texas. Mr. John Minnelli
provided sales support services for the
production of plastic patio furniture that
is produced at the Baldwinsville, New
York location of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include an employee of
the Baldwinsville, New York facility of
Syroco, Inc., located in Houston, Texas.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
Syroco, Inc., Baldwinsville, New York
who were adversely affected by
increased customer imports.

COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–286]
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.,
Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit
No. 3; Environmental Assessment and
Finding of No Significant Impact
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering
issuance of a revision of existing
exemptions from Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 50,
appendix R, ‘‘Fire Protection Program
for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating
Prior to January 1, 1979,’’ for Fire Areas
ETN–4 and PAB–2, issued to Entergy
Nuclear Operations, Inc. (the licensee),
for operation of Indian Point Nuclear
Generating Unit No. 3 (IP3), located in
Westchester County, NY. Therefore, as
required by 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC is
issuing this environmental assessment
and finding of no significant impact.

Identification of the Proposed Action
The proposed action would revise the
January 7, 1987 safety evaluation (SE) to
reflect that the installed Hemyc
electrical raceway fire barrier system
(ERFBS) configurations provide either a
30-minute fire resistance rating, or in
one case a 24-minute fire resistance
rating, in lieu of the previously stated 1hour fire resistance rating. The licensee
states that a Hemyc ERFBS fire
resistance rating will provide sufficient
protection for the affected raceways,
with adequate margin, to continue to
meet the intent of the original requests
for exemption and conclusions
presented in the NRC’s January 7, 1987,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:12 Sep 27, 2007
Jkt 211001
SE. The licensee concludes that the
revised fire resistance rating of the
Hemyc ERFBS does not reflect a
reduction in overall fire safety, and
presents no added challenge to the
credited post-fire safe-shutdown
capability which remains materially
unchanged from the configuration
originally described in previous letters
and as credited in the January 7, 1987,
SE.
The proposed action is in accordance
with the licensee’s application dated
July 24, 2006, as supplemented by
letters dated April 30, May 23, and
August 16, 2007.
significant radiological environmental
impacts associated with the proposed
action.
With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed
action does not have a potential to affect
any historic sites. It does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has no
other environmental impact. Therefore,
there are no significant non-radiological
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action.
Accordingly, the NRC concludes that
there are no significant environmental
impacts associated with the proposed
action.
The Need for the Proposed Action
The proposed revision of existing
exemptions from 10 CFR part 50,
appendix R, is needed in response to
NRC Information Notice 2005–07. The
information notice provided licensees
the details of Hemyc ERFBS full-scale
fire tests conducted by the NRC’s Office
of Nuclear Regulatory Research. The test
results concluded that the Hemyc
ERFBS does not provide the level of
protection expected for a 1-hour rated
fire barrier, as originally designed. The
proposed revision to existing
exemptions would revise the fire
resistance rating of Hemyc ERFBS
configurations.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
As an alternative to the proposed
action, the staff considered denial of the
proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’
alternative). Denial of the application
would result in no change in current
environmental impacts. The
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and the alternative action are
similar.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
The NRC has completed its SE of the
proposed action and concludes that the
configuration of the fire zones under
review provide reasonable assurance
that a severe fire is not plausible and the
existing fire protection features are
adequate. The details of the staff’s SE
will be provided in the exemptions that
will be issued as part of the letter to the
licensee approving the exemption.
Based on the presence of redundant
safe-shutdown trains, minimal fire
hazards and combustibles, automatic
cable tray fire suppression system,
manual fire suppression features, fire
barrier protection, existing Hemyc
configuration, and the installed smoke
detection system, the NRC staff finds
that the use of this Hemyc fire barrier in
these zones will not significantly
increase the consequences from a fire in
these fire zones.
The proposed action will not
significantly increase the probability or
consequences of accidents. No changes
are being made in the types of effluents
that may be released off site.
There is no significant increase in the
amount of any effluent released off site.
There is no significant increase in
occupational or public radiation
exposure. Therefore, there are no

Alternative Use of Resources
The action does not involve the use of
any different resources than those
previously considered in the Final
Environmental Statement for IP3, dated
February, 1975.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
In accordance with its stated policy,
on February 13, 2007, the NRC staff
consulted with the New York State
official, Alyse Peterson of the New York
State Energy Research and Development
Authority, regarding the environmental
impact of the proposed action. The State
official had no comments.
Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the environmental
assessment, the NRC concludes that the
proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment. Accordingly, the
NRC has determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed action.

proposed action, see the licensee’s letter
