Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 8 / Friday, January 11, 2008 / Notices
L. 109–432), provides trade benefits for
eligible Andean countries. Pursuant to
section 3103(d) of the ATPDEA, USTR
promulgated regulations (15 CFR part
2016) (68 FR 43922) regarding the
review of eligibility of countries for the
benefits of the ATPA, as amended. The
2007 Annual ATPA Review is the fourth
such review to be conducted pursuant
to the ATPA regulations.
In a Federal Register notice dated
August 15, 2007, USTR initiated the
2007 ATPA Annual Review and
announced a deadline of September 17,
2007 for the filing of petitions (72 FR
45833). One petition was filed for the
2007 review, by Bumble Bee Foods,
LLC, concerning Ecuador. The Trade
Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) has
conducted a preliminary review of this
petition, has determined that it does not
require further action and is terminating
its review. USTR also received updated
information from the U.S./Labor
Education in the Americas Project (US/
LEAP) concerning worker rights in
Ecuador, which has been under
consideration since the 2003 ATPA
review.
The TPSC is terminating its review of
a petition filed with respect to 19 U.S.C.
3202(c)(2)(A), by Engelhard Corporation
in 2003 regarding its tax dispute with
the Peruvian government because the
petitioning company is no longer
majority U.S.-owned. The TPSC is also
terminating its review of a petition filed
by Parsons Corporation in 2004
regarding a payment dispute with the
Peruvian government, since that matter
has since been resolved through
arbitration.
Following is the list of all petitions
from prior years that will remain under
review through February 29, 2008,
which is the period that the ATPA is in
effect:
Ecuador Human Rights Watch
Ecuador U.S./Labor Education in the
Americas Project
Ecuador AFL/CIO
Ecuador Chevron Texaco
Peru Princeton Dover
Peru Duke Energy

Proposed Data Collection; Comment
Request
Summary: In accordance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
which provides opportunity for public
comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board will publish periodic summaries
of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden related to
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Title and Purpose of information
collection:
Statement Regarding Contributions
and Support: OMB 3220–0099.
Under Section 2 of the Railroad
Retirement Act, dependency on an
employee for one-half support at the
time of an employee’s death can be a
condition affecting entitlement to a
survivor annuity and can affect the
amount of both spouse and survivor
annuities. One-half support is also a
condition which may negate the public
service pension offset in Tier I for a
spouse or widow(er). The Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) utilizes Form
G–134, Statement Regarding
Contributions and Support, to secure
information needed to adequately
determine if the applicant meets the
one-half support requirement. One form
is completed by each respondent.
The RRB proposes no changes to
Form G–134.
