IAC Canton, Inc., A Subsidiary of
International Automotive Components
Group, North America, Inc., Canton,
OH; Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated October 29,
2008, United Steelworkers of America
AFL–CIO, Local 550–L 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 September 22, 2008. The
Notice of Determination was published
in the Federal Register on September 8,
2008 (73 FR 58982).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of rubber sheets,
dash insulators, and all rubber floor
mats 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 pertaining to a shift in
subject plant production of rubber
sheets, dash insulators, and all rubber
floor mats to Canada.
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
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
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.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 6th day of
November 2008.

Adjustment Assistance.

information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

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.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request (ICR) can be obtained
by contacting the office listed below in
the addressee section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addressee section below on or before
January 12, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The data submitted annually on the
ETA–204 report enables the
Employment and Training
Administration to project revenues for
the Unemployment Insurance (UI)
program on a state-by-state basis and to
measure the variations in assigned
contribution rates which result from
different experience rating systems.
Used in conjunction with other data, the
ETA–204 assists in determining the
effects of certain factors (e.g.,
seasonality, stabilization, expansion or
contraction in employment, etc.) on the
unemployment experience of various
PO 00000
Frm 00090

groups of employers. The data also
provide an early signal for potential
solvency problems and are useful in
analyzing factors which give rise to
these potential problems and permit an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the
various approaches available to correct
the detected problems. Further, the data
are key components to the ‘‘Significant
Tax Measures Report’’ which provides
the information necessary to evaluate
and compare state UI tax systems.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the Employment and
Training Administration is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension of the ETA–204, Experience
Rating Report which:
• 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;
• 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
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request (ICR) can be obtained
