• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the

frame for its establishment surveys; for
publishing of accurate current estimates
of employment for the U.S., States, and
metropolitan areas; and publishing
quarterly census totals of local
establishment counts, employment, and
wages. The Bureau of Economic
Analysis uses the data to produce
accurate personal income data for the

Description: The Consumer Price
Index (CPI) is a measure of the average
change over time in the prices paid by
consumers for a market basket of
consumer goods and services. Each
month, BLS data collectors called
economic assistants, visit or call
thousands of retail stores, service
establishments, rental units, and
doctors’ offices, all over the United
States to obtain information on the
prices of the thousands of items used to
track and measure price changes in the
CPI. The collection of price data is
essential for the timely and accurate
calculation of the commodities and
services component of the CPI. The CPI
is then widely used as a measure of
inflation, indicator of the effectiveness
of government economic policy, deflator
for other economic series, and as a
means of adjusting dollar values. For

Notice of Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for

Norcal Pottery Products, Macrame
Department, Richmond Distribution
Center, Richmond, California; Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
notice published at 73 FR 3755 on
January 22, 2008.
By application dated April 10, 2008,
a company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) applicable to
workers and former workers of the
subject firm. The determination was
issued on March 14, 2008. The Notice
of determination was published in the
Federal Register on March 26, 2008 (73
FR 16064).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of lumber and
woodchips did not contribute
importantly to worker separations at the
subject firm and no shift of production
to a foreign source occurred.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding aggregate imports
of lumber and the impact of Canadian
imports on lumber industry in the
United States.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act
of 1974.

Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the U.S. Department
of Labor’s prior decision. The
application is, therefore, granted.
By applications dated April 15, 2008,
petitioners requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s Notice of Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance, applicable to workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
denial notice was signed on March 21,
2008 and published in the Federal
Register on April 24, 2008 (73 FR
22169).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that criteria I.A and II.A have
not been met. The investigation revealed
that the subject firm 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 provided additional
information regarding employment and
layoffs at the subject firm.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. The application
is, therefore, granted.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 30th day of

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 March 18, 2008,
applicable to workers of Lanxess Sybron
Chemicals, Inc., a subsidiary of Lanxess
Corporation, Birmingham, New Jersey.
The notice was published in the Federal
Register on April 24, 2008 (73 FR
22169).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in the production
of ion exchange resins for a variety of
industrial applications.
New information shows that
employees of AeroTek were working onsite at the Birmingham, New Jersey
location of Lanxess Sybron Chemicals,
Inc., a subsidiary of Lanxess
Corporation. The Department has
determined that the AeroTek workers
were sufficiently under the control of
the subject firm to be considered
contract/leased workers.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include temporary
workers of AeroTek working on-site at
the Birmingham, New Jersey location of
the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers
employed at Lanxess Sybron Chemicals,
Inc., a subsidiary of Lanxess
Corporation, Birmingham, New Jersey
who were adversely affected by
increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–62,920 is hereby issued as
follows:
’’All workers of Lanxess Sybron Chemicals,
Incorporated, a subsidiary of Lanxess
Corporation, including on-site contract
workers from AeroTek, Birmingham, New
Jersey, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after
February 27, 2007, through March 18, 2010,
