Trade Act, in order to be eligible for
TAA on the basis of a shift in
production abroad, the shift in
production must be implemented by the
subject firm or its subdivision.
In this case, the subject firm did not
import eyelet parts and miniature
stampings nor was there a shift in
production from subject firm abroad
during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of Mark
Eyelet, Inc., including on-site leased
workers of Jaci Carroll Staffing
Watertown, Connecticut (TA–W–
62,184) and Ozzi II, Inc., (dba OC
Eyelet), including on-site leased workers
of Jaci Carroll Staffing, Watertown,
Connecticut (TA–W–62,184A).

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Administration
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department requested
that the company official provide
documentation that the subject firm had
separated or threaten to separate from
employment a significant number or
proportion of workers.
Based on the company official’s
response, the Department affirms that
the subject firm did not separate or
threaten to separate from employment a
significant number or proportion of
workers.
The Department finds that Section
222 of the Trade Act of 1974 was not
satisfied and that the group eligibility
criteria for TAA certification were not
met.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA), the subject worker
group must be certified eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA).
Since the subject workers are denied
eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers
cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.
Conclusion
After careful reconsideration, I affirm
the original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of Chester
Bednar Rental Realty, Washington,
Pennsylvania.
Signed at Washington, DC this 6th day of

Determination on Reconsideration

BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P
On January 8, 2008, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
Department’s Notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register
on January 16, 2008 (73 FR 2941).
The initial negative determination
regarding eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) applicable to
workers and former workers of the
subject firm was based on the
Department’s findings that the subject
firm did not separate or threaten to
separate from employment a significant
number or proportion of workers as
required by Section 222 of the Trade Act
of 1974.
The request for reconsideration
implied that the subject firm had
separated more than three employees
from employment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health invites
interested parties to submit nominations
and materials in support of nominations
for membership on ACCSH to OSHA.
Background: ACCSH is a continuing

Hours and Safety Standards Act (40
U.S.C. 3704(d)(4)), which is required to
advise the Secretary in formulating

construction safety and health standards
and other regulations, as well as on
policy matters arising in carrying out
these requirements. In addition, 29 CFR
1912.3(a) provides that the Assistant
Secretary shall consult ACCSH
whenever the Agency proposes
occupational safety or health standards
for construction activities.
As originally constituted ACCSH had
nine members, three each representing:
contractors, primarily building trade
employees, and the public, appointed
by the Secretary of Labor. Section 29
CFR 1912.3(c) explains that pursuant to
Section 105 of the Contract Work Hours
and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C.
3706) it had been found necessary and
proper in the public interest and in
order to prevent possible injustice to
conform ACCSH’s composition to that
of Occupational Safety and Health Act
Section 7(b) (29 U.S.C. 656) advisory
committees and to increase its
membership to 15 members. Under 29
CFR 1912.3(b), the Assistant Secretary
of Labor for Occupational Safety and
Health appoints fifteen members to
ACCSH. One of the members is
appointed to chair the committee.
ACCSH operates in compliance with
the provisions of the Construction
Safety Act, section 7 of the OSH Act,
and the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations
issued pursuant to those statutes (29
CFR 1912, 41 CFR part 101–6 and 102–
3). ACCSH meets two to four times per
year for one or two days per meeting.
ACCSH Membership: ACCSH
members appointed by the Assistant
Secretary serve staggered two-year
terms. The categories of ACCSH
membership including the number of
new members to be appointed in
conjunction with this notice are as
follows:
• Five members who are qualified by
experience and affiliation to present the
viewpoint of employers in the
construction industry: Three employer
representatives will be appointed.
• Five members who are similarly
qualified to present the viewpoint of
employees in the construction industry:
Three employee representatives will be
appointed.
• Two representatives of State safety
and health agencies: None will be
appointed; the current representatives’
terms expire in November 2009.
• Two public members, qualified by
knowledge and experience to make a
useful contribution to the work of
ACCSH, such as those who have
professional or technical experience and
competence with occupational safety
and health in the construction industry:
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:45 Feb 12, 2008
Jkt 214001
One public representative will be
appointed.
• One representative designated by
the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH): The HHS representative serves
an indefinite term. The current HHS
designated representative from NIOSH
will continue to serve indefinitely.
ACCSH members serve two-year
terms, unless they resign, become
unable to serve, cease to be qualified to
serve, or are removed by the Secretary
[29 CFR 1912.3(e)]. However, an ACCSH
member whose term has expired may
continue to serve until a successor is
appointed. ACCSH members may serve
successive terms as long as they remain
otherwise qualified. Any member absent
from two consecutive meetings may be
removed or replaced.
The Department of Labor is
committed to equal opportunity in the
workplace and seeks broad-based and
diverse ACCSH membership.
Nominations for a specific category of
ACCSH membership should come from
groups or people within the category.
Others are invited and encouraged to
submit endorsements in support of
particular nominees.
Submission requirements:
Nominations must include the following
information:
(1) Nominee’s resume or curriculum
vitae, including prior membership on
ACCSH or with other relevant
organizations or associations;
(2) Categories of membership
(employer, employee, public) for which
the nominee can serve;
(3) A summary of background,
experience and qualifications that
addresses the nominee’s suitability for
each of the nominated membership
categories;
(4) Articles or other documents the
nominee has authored that indicate his
or her knowledge, experience and
expertise in occupational safety and
health, particularly as it pertains to the
construction industry;
(5) The nominee’s contact information
(address, phone, e-mail); and
(6) A written commitment from the
nominee of his or her willingness to
attend meetings regularly and
participate in good faith, and a
statement that the nominee has no
apparent conflicts of interest that would
preclude unbiased service on ACCSH.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651, et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act
or for developing information regarding
the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Paragraphs (b) and (c) of § 1926.652
(‘‘Requirements for Protective Systems’’;
the ‘‘Standard’’) contain paperwork
requirements that impose burden hours
or costs on employers. These paragraphs
require employers to use protective
systems to prevent cave-ins during
excavation work; these systems include
sloping the side of the trench, benching
the soil away from the excavation, or
using a support system or shield (such
as a trench box). The Standard specifies
allowable configuration and slopes for
excavations, and provides appendices to
assist employers in designing protective
systems. However, paragraphs (b)(3) and
(b)(4) of the Standard permit employers
to design sloping or benching systems
based on tabulated data (Option 1), or to
use a design approved by a registered
professional engineer (Option 2).
Under Option 1, employers must
provide the tabulated data in a written
form that also identifies the registered
professional engineer who approved the
data and the parameters used to select
the sloping or benching system drawn
from the data, as well as the limitations
of the data (including the magnitude
and configuration of slopes determined
to be safe); the document must also
provide any explanatory information
necessary to select the correct benching
system based on the data. Option 2

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health invites interested parties to submit
nominations and materials in support of nominations for membership on
ACCSH to OSHA.
Background: ACCSH is a continuing advisory committee established
under Section 107(e) of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards
Act (40 U.S.C. 3704(d)(4)), which is required to advise the Secretary
in formulating
[[Page 8373]]
construction safety and health standards and other regulations, as well
as on policy matters arising in carrying out these requirements. In
addition, 29 CFR 1912.3(a) provides that the Assistant Secretary shall
consult ACCSH whenever the Agency proposes occupational safety or
health standards for construction activities.
As originally constituted ACCSH had nine members, three each
representing: contractors, primarily building trade employees, and the
public, appointed by the Secretary of Labor. Section 29 CFR 1912.3(c)
explains that pursuant to Section 105 of the Contract Work Hours and
Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3706) it had been found necessary and
proper in the public interest and in order to prevent possible
injustice to conform ACCSH's composition to that of Occupational Safety
and Health Act Section 7(b) (29 U.S.C. 656) advisory committees and to
increase its membership to 15 members. Under 29 CFR 1912.3(b), the
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health
appoints fifteen members to ACCSH. One of the members is appointed to
chair the committee.
ACCSH operates in compliance with the provisions of the
Construction Safety Act, section 7 of the OSH Act, and the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations issued
pursuant to those statutes (29 CFR 1912, 41 CFR part 101-6 and 102-3).
ACCSH meets two to four times per year for one or two days per meeting.
ACCSH Membership: ACCSH members appointed by the Assistant
Secretary serve staggered two-year terms. The categories of ACCSH
membership including the number of new members to be appointed in
conjunction with this notice are as follows:
Five members who are qualified by experience and
affiliation to present the viewpoint of employers in the construction
industry: Three employer representatives will be appointed.
Five members who are similarly qualified to present the
viewpoint of employees in the construction industry: Three employee
representatives will be appointed.
Two representatives of State safety and health agencies:
None will be appointed; the current representatives' terms expire in
November 2009.
Two public members, qualified by knowledge and experience
to make a useful contribution to the work of ACCSH, such as those who
have professional or technical experience and competence with
occupational safety and health in the construction industry: One public
representative will be appointed.
One representative designated by the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS), National Institute of Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH): The HHS representative serves an indefinite term. The
current HHS designated representative from NIOSH will continue to serve
indefinitely.
ACCSH members serve two-year terms, unless they resign, become
unable to serve, cease to be qualified to serve, or are removed by the
Secretary [29 CFR 1912.3(e)]. However, an ACCSH member whose term has
expired may continue to serve until a successor is appointed. ACCSH
members may serve successive terms as long as they remain otherwise
qualified. Any member absent from two consecutive meetings may be
removed or replaced.
The Department of Labor is committed to equal opportunity in the
workplace and seeks broad-based and diverse ACCSH membership.
Nominations for a specific category of ACCSH membership should come
from groups or people within the category. Others are invited and
encouraged to submit endorsements in support of particular nominees.
Submission requirements: Nominations must include the following
information:
(1) Nominee's resume or curriculum vitae, including prior
membership on ACCSH or with other relevant organizations or
associations;
(2) Categories of membership (employer, employee, public) for which
the nominee can serve;
(3) A summary of background, experience and qualifications that
addresses the nominee's suitability for each of the nominated
membership categories;
(4) Articles or other documents the nominee has authored that
indicate his or her knowledge, experience and expertise in occupational
safety and health, particularly as it pertains to the construction
industry;
(5) The nominee's contact information (address, phone, e-mail); and
(6) A written commitment from the nominee of his or her willingness
to attend meetings regularly and participate in good faith, and a
statement that the nominee has no apparent conflicts of interest that
would preclude unbiased service on ACCSH.
Submission instructions and cautions: All nominations, supporting
