Administration
Based on the new information, the
Department conducted a survey of a
major declining customer regarding its
purchases of like or directly competitive
products with plastic parts
manufactured by the subject firm. The
survey revealed that the major declining
customer increased imports of plastic
parts during the relevant period.
In accordance with Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its
investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older
workers.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the
Trade Act must be met. The Department
has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
[TA–W–61,867]
Conclusion
TA–W–62,478; Option One Mortgage
Corporation, A Subsidiary of H and
R Block, East Providence, RI
The investigation revealed that
criteria of Section 222(b)(2) has not been
met. The workers’ firm (or subdivision)
is not a supplier to or a downstream
producer for a firm whose workers were
certified eligible to apply for TAA.

I hereby certify that the aforementioned
determinations were issued during the period
of November 26 through November 30, 2007.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Non-Metallic Components, Inc., Rib
Lake, Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
On November 8, 2007, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application on
Reconsideration applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The notice was published in the Federal
Register on November 16, 2007 (72 FR
64685).
The previous investigation initiated
on July 24, 2007, resulted in a negative
determination issued on September 19,
2007, was based on the finding that
imports of custom injection molded
plastic parts did not contribute
importantly to worker separations at the
subject firm and no shift in production
to countries that are Party to a Free
Trade Agreements with the United
States or beneficiary countries occurred.
The denial notice was published in the
Federal Register on October 3, 2007 (72
FR 56385).
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding the subject firm’s
declining customers.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced at Non-Metallic
Components, Inc., Rib Lake, Wisconsin,
contributed importantly to the declines
in sales or production and to the total
or partial separation of workers at the
subject firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
‘‘All workers of Non-Metallic Components,
Inc., Rib Lake, Wisconsin, who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 18, 2006,
through two years from the date of this
certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to
apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.’’
Signed in Washington, DC this 30th day of
November 2007.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.

Section 50.11 requires that the
operator or contractor investigate each
accident and occupational injury and
prepare a report. The operator or
contractor may not use MSHA Form
7000–1 as a report, unless the mine
employs fewer than 20 miners and the
occurrence involves an occupational
injury not related to an accident.
Section 50.20(a) requires mine
operators and mining contractors to
report each accident, injury, or illness to
MSHA on Form 7000–1 within 10
working days after an accident or injury
has occurred or an occupational illness
has been diagnosed. The use of MSHA
Form 7000–1 provides for uniform
information gathering across the mining
industry.
Section 50.30(a) requires mine
operators and independent contractors
working on mine property to report
quarterly employment and coal
production to MSHA on Form 7000–2.
MSHA tabulates and analyzes the
information from this form along with
data from MSHA Form 7000–1, Mine
Accident, Injury, and Illness Report, to
compute incidence and severity rates for
various injury types. These rates are
used to analyze trends and to assess the
degree of success of the health and
safety efforts of MSHA and the mining
industry.

information from MSHA Form 7000–1,
