assessment will capture information
regarding the topics of interest to the
field, the level of need for information
about the topic, the types of training and

that can provide the greatest benefit and
impact.

of Respondents and the Amount of Time
Estimated for an Average Respondent to
Respond/Reply: It is expected that
invitations for completion will be sent
to approximately 6,000 respondents
with a 60% response rate. This would
indicate approximately 3,600
respondents who will require an average
of 20 minutes to complete the needs
assessment.

The Urban Institute has been funded by
the NIJ to examine the collection and
use of juvenile DNA. We will establish
the state-specific policies and practices
through interviews with state lab
personnel and non-identifiable
summary data on the number of
juveniles included in SDIS and the DNA
crime matches attributed to that
population. This data can then be used
to assess the value of juvenile DNA
records from the practitioner
perspective and inform DNA policy
decisions at the local, state, and Federal
level.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: Interviews will occur with one
state crime lab director and CODIS
administrator in each state, for a total of
70 estimated respondents. Telephone
interviews are expected to take 1 hour
each (35 respondents). Summary
statistic collection is expected to take 3
hours (35 respondents); 1 hour for
discussion with us, 1.5 hours for the
actually data pull, and .5 hours to
format and transmit the summary
statistics.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the

hours to complete both interviews and
data collection is 140 hours.

Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated February 20,
2009, the Division of Career Services,
Trade Program Manager, Massachusetts,
requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 11, 2009 / Notices
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 February
4, 2009 and will soon be published in
the Federal Register.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that the worker group engaged
in IT sales, consulting and support
services, does not produce an article
within the meaning of Section 222(a)(2)
of the Act.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding activities of the
workers at the subject facility. The
petitioners stated that workers of the
subject firm produced software which
was sold to customers.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and determined that the Department
will conduct further investigation to
determine whether the workers of the
subject firm were engaged in production
of articles and whether they 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.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 2nd day of
March 2009.

Certification Regarding Eligibility To

In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on June 5, 2008, applicable
to workers of General Motors
Corporation, Moraine Assembly Plant,
Vehicle Manufacturing Division,
Moraine, Ohio. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on
June 20, 2008 (73 FR 35164). The
certification was amended on December
4, 2008 to include on-site leased
workers from Allied Systems, Ltd. The
notice was published in the Federal
Register on December 15, 2008 (73 FR
76057–76058).
At the request of a petitioner, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers assemble Buick Rainiers,
Chevrolet TrailBlazers, GMC Envoys,
Isuzu Ascenders and Saab 9–7Xs.
New information shows that workers
leased from Securitas were employed
on-site at the Moraine, Ohio location of
General Motors Corporation, Moraine
Assembly Plant, Vehicle Manufacturing
Division. The Department has
determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of the
subject firm to be considered leased
workers.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers
from Securitas working on-site at the
Moraine Assembly Plant, Vehicle
Manufacturing Division, Moraine, Ohio
location of the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–63,344 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of General Motors Corporation,
Moraine Assembly Plant, Vehicle
Manufacturing Division, including on-site
leased workers from Allied Systems, LTD,
and Securitas, Moraine, Ohio, who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 17, 2008,
through June 5, 2010, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible
to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 27th day of

Nikko America, Plano, TX; Notice of
Negative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated January 22,
2009, a petitioner requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department’s negative determination
regarding eligibility for workers and
former workers of the subject firm to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA). The
denial notice was signed on January 6,
2009 and published in the Federal
Register on February 2, 2009 (74 FR
5871).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The TAA petition filed on behalf of
workers at Nikko America, Plano, Texas
was based on the finding that the
worker group does not produce an
article within the meaning of Section
222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
The petitioner in the request for
reconsideration contends that the
Department erred in its interpretation of
the work performed by the workers of
the subject firm. The petitioner stated
that workers of the subject firm ‘‘were
responsible for final assembly of some
products’’, including ‘‘putting batteries
in the boxes where the toys were
already located and placing decal
stickers on the toys, taping them back
up and distributing these products’’.
The petitioner further stated that Nikko
decreased production of toys in 2008
and decided to import products directly
to consumers bypassing the distribution
center.
The investigation revealed that
workers of Nikko America, Plano, Texas
were engaged in warehousing, sales,
distribution and service of radio
controlled toys during the relevant
period. No articles were produced by
Nikko America in the United States. The
subject firm imported all the products
