applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on March 4,
2009. The Notice of Determination was
published in the Federal Register on
March 19, 2009 (74 FR 11760).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of filtration media
did not contribute importantly to
worker separations at the subject firm.
The investigation also revealed that the
subject firm did not shift production of
filtration media to a foreign country
during the relevant period.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleged that the workers of the
subject firm also produced non-filtration
products. The petitioner also alleged
that the subject firm shifted production
of non-filtration products abroad and
also increased imports of non-filtration
products during the relevant period.
The Department 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.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of
May 2009.

workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on April 6,
2009. The Notice of Determination will
be soon published in the Federal
Register.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of two-piece
automotive wheels did not contribute
importantly to worker separations at the
subject firm. The investigation revealed
that the subject firm did not shift
production of two-piece automotive
wheels to a foreign country during the
relevant period.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleged that the workers of the
subject also supported production of
one piece and cast wheels. The
petitioner also alleged that the subject
firm shifted production to China and
that there was an increase in imports of
one piece and cast wheels from China.
The Department 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

Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed request for a
new OMB Control number for the
collection the ‘‘BLS Data Sharing
Program.’’ A copy of the proposed
information collection request (ICR) can

listed below in the ADDRESSES section of
this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before August 17, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Nora

Division of Management Systems,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
An important aspect of the mission of
the BLS is to disseminate to the public
the maximum amount of information
possible. Not all data are publicly
available because of the importance of
maintaining the confidentiality of BLS
data. However, the BLS has
opportunities available on a limited
basis for eligible researchers to access
confidential data for purposes of
conducting valid statistical analyses that
further the mission of the BLS as
permitted in the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA).
The BLS makes confidential data
available to eligible researchers through
three major programs:
1. The Census of Fatal Occupational
Injuries (CFOI), as part of the BLS
occupational safety and health statistics
program, compiles a count of all fatal
work injuries occurring in the U.S. in
each calendar year. Multiple sources are
used in order to provide as complete
and accurate information concerning
workplace fatalities as possible. A
research file containing CFOI data is
made available offsite to eligible
researchers.
2. The National Longitudinal Surveys
of Youth (NLSY) is designed to
document the transition from school to
work and into adulthood. The NLSY
E:\FR\FM\16JNN1.SGM
16JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 16, 2009 / Notices
collects extensive information about
youths’ labor market behavior and
educational experiences over time. The
NLSY includes three different cohorts:
The National Longitudinal Survey of
Youth 1979 (NLSY79), the NLSY79
Young Adult Survey, and the National
Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997
(NLSY97). NLSY data beyond the public
use data are made available in greater
detail through an offsite program to
eligible researchers.
3. Additionally, the BLS makes
available data from several employment,
compensation, prices, and working
conditions surveys to eligible
researchers for onsite use. Eligible
researchers can access these data in
researcher rooms at the BLS national
office in Washington, DC.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the BLS
Data Sharing Program. In order to
provide access to confidential data, the
BLS must determine that the
researcher’s project will be exclusively
statistical in nature and that the
researcher is eligible based on
guidelines set out in CIPSEA, the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
implementation guidance on CIPSEA,
and BLS policy. This information
collection provides the vehicle through
which the BLS will obtain the necessary
details to ensure all researchers and
projects comply with appropriate laws
and policies.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
