Notice of Permit Application Received Under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978, 60912-60913 [E7-21176]

Download as PDF 60912 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 207 / Friday, October 26, 2007 / Notices survey of the workers’ firm’s declining customers. The investigation revealed that all vacuum cleaner motors produced by the subject firm were exported to Mexico and the subject firm had no domestic customers. The investigation further revealed that there was no shift in production from that firm to a foreign country nor did the subject firm import vacuum cleaner motors in 2005, 2006 and January through July 2007. The petitioner attached a letter from the subject firm’s customer indicating that this customer ‘‘discontinued use of the Molon motors in favor of an Asian sourced motor’’ and that this customer ‘‘was the sole customer using the motors produced’’ at the subject firm. The Department contacted the sole customer of the subject firm for further clarification. The customer confirmed that even though his firm is a U.S. based company, the production facility for which the vacuum cleaner motors were purchased is located in Mexico. The customer stated that all vacuum cleaner motors purchased from the subject firm were shipped directly to the Mexican facility and thus were exports. This facility in Mexico is now purchasing vacuum cleaner motors from Asia and there was no increase in imports of vacuum cleaner motors into the United States by this customer. Therefore, the loss of business at the subject firm is attributed to a loss in export sales. 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 in Washington, DC, this 19th day of October, 2007. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.

The notice was published in the Federal Register on June 28, 2007 (72 FR 35516). At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of trimmings for textiles. New information shows that the correct name of the subject firm should read National Braid Manufacturing Co., also known as Long Island City Trim. Workers separated from employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax accounts for National Braid Manufacturing Co., also known as Long Island City Trim. Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to correctly identify the name of the subject firm. The intent of the Department’s certification is to include all workers of National Braid Manufacturing Co., Long Island City, New York, who were adversely affected by increased company imports of trimmings for textiles. The amended notice applicable to TA–W–61,555 is hereby issued as follows: ‘‘All workers of National Braid Manufacturing Co., also known as Long Island City Trim, Long Island City, New York, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after May 15, 2006, through June 15, 2009, are eligible to apply for 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.’’ VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:23 Oct 25, 2007 Jkt 214001 PO 00000 Frm 00117 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION Notice of Permit Application Received Under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978 National Science Foundation.

On June 4, 2007, the NRC’s Office of Investigation (OI) initiated an investigation into AIX’s activities at a facility, not owned by AIX, located in Anchorage, Alaska. This off-site facility is owned by an AIX client, and AIX has been performing radiography at that location since the 1990s. Based on information obtained during the investigation, serious concerns were identified concerning the AIX senior managers’ oversight of licensed activities and AIX’s ability to protect the public health and safety. Specifically, AIX radiographers, including the company Radiation Safety Officer, knowingly conducted radiography activities without the two individuals required by 10 CFR 34.41(a) (sometimes called the 2-person rule). This occurred on numerous instances over a period of up to three years and presented unnecessary risk to the public health and safety. In the 1990s, AIX constructed a facility that was referred to as a ‘‘vault’’ at its client’s facility. AIX applied to the NRC to have the ‘‘vault’’ approved as a Permanent Radiographic Installation as described in 10 CFR 34.33. Radiography conducted in an authorized permanent radiographic installation could be conducted with a single radiographer; otherwise, 10 CFR 34.41(a) requires, in part, that at least two qualified individuals be present during radiography. However, the NRC never approved the ‘‘vault’’ as a Permanent Radiographic Installation because of serious deficiencies in the design and requested further information from AIX. One of the design deficiencies was that the ‘‘vault’’ had very little shielding on most of the front of the vault; the shielding consisted of a lead-lined steel frame gate that was only about 31⁄2 feet tall and an industrial tarp that was pulled across the front. As such, AIX estimated radiation exposures 20 feet in front of the ‘‘vault’’ exceeded many hundred times the NRC’s 2 mR/hr limit. In addition, the NRC believes there was access to the roof of the facility, which was made of 3⁄4 inch plywood (very limited shielding material), resulting in dose rates in excess of the NRC’s 2 mR/ hr limit. The licensing action was closed in 2002 after AIX did not make the structural changes necessary to obtain approval. The investigation revealed that on numerous occasions over a period of up to three years, AIX would send two qualified individuals to the off-site facility to perform radiography, and that AIX would commence radiography in compliance with 10 CFR 34.41(a).

Reason for Closing: The contract being reviewed includes information of a proprietary or confidential nature, including technical information; financial data, such as salaries; and personal information concerning individuals associated with the contract.
