Southprint, Inc., Reidsville Division,
Reidsville, NC; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On July 31, 2008, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
notice was published in the Federal
Register on August 7, 2008 (73 FR
46037).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of screen-printing

for apparel 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 alleged that business at the
subject firm declined because the
subject firm’s customers shifted screenprinting for apparel to foreign facilities.
The petitioner provided an additional
list of customers and alleged that these
customers are importing screen-printing
for apparel.
On reconsideration the Department of
Labor surveyed these declining
customers regarding their purchases of
products like or directly competitive
with screen-printing for apparel during
2006, 2007 and January through March,
2008 over the corresponding 2007
period. The survey revealed that the
customers did not import products like
or directly competitive with screenprinting for apparel during the relevant
period.

The fact that the subject firm’s
customers are shifting their production
abroad is not relevant to this
investigation. According to section
(a)(2)(B) of the 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 screen-printing for apparel 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
Southprint, Inc., Reidsville Division,
Reidsville, North Carolina.

ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program
helps to ensure that requested data can
be provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements on
respondents can be properly assessed.
Currently, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) is soliciting comments concerning
the proposed extension of the ‘‘Local
Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)
Program.’’ A copy of the proposed
information collection request (ICR) can
be obtained by contacting the individual
listed below in the ADDRESSES section of
this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section below on or before
November 3, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Carol
Rowan, BLS Clearance Officer, Division
of Management Systems, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2
Massachusetts Avenue, NE.,
Washington, DC 20212, 202–691–7628.
(This is not a toll free number.)
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Carol Rowan, BLS Clearance Officer,
202–691–7628. (See ADDRESSES section.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The BLS has been charged by
Congress (29 U.S.C. 1 and 2) with the
responsibility of collecting and
publishing monthly information on
employment, the average wage received,
and the hours worked by area and
industry. The process for developing
PO 00000
Frm 00096
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
residency-based employment and
unemployment estimates is a
cooperative Federal-State program
which uses employment and
unemployment inputs available in State
Workforce Agencies.
The labor force estimates developed
and issued in this program are used for
economic analysis and as a tool in the
implementation of Federal economic
policy in such areas as employment and
economic development under the
Workforce Investment Act and the
Public Works and Economic
Development Act, among others.
The estimates also are used in
economic analysis by public agencies
and private industry, and for State and
area funding allocations and eligibility
determinations according to legal and
administrative requirements.
Implementation of current policy and
legislative authorities could not be
accomplished without collection of the
data.
The reports and manual covered by
this request are integral parts of the
LAUS program insofar as they insure
and/or measure the timeliness, quality,
consistency, and adherence to program
directions of the LAUS estimates and
related research.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for an
extension of the information collection
request that makes up the LAUS
program. All aspects of the program are
automated. All data are entered directly
into BLS-provided systems.
The BLS, as part of its responsibility
to develop concepts and methods by
which States prepare estimates under
the LAUS program, developed a manual
for use by the States. The manual
explains the conceptual framework for
the State and area estimates of
employment and unemployment,
specifies the procedures to be used,
provides input information, and
discusses the theoretical and empirical
basis for each procedure. This manual is
updated on a regular schedule. The
LAUS program implemented a major
program redesign in January 2005. The
Redesign was announced in the Federal
Register on November 8, 2004.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
