Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 116 / Thursday, June 18, 2009 / Notices
The petitioner also stated that other
divisions of Kenworth Truck Company
and a supplier of interior components
for heavy duty trucks have been recently
certified for TAA and thus workers of
the subject facility should also be
eligible for TAA.
The Kenworth Truck Company
divisions indicated by the petitioner
were certified eligible for TAA in
January 2009 since the company shifted
production of cabs for Class 8 trucks to
Mexico. The certifications of these
divisions are not relevant to this
investigation as certified workers
engaged in production of cabs are
separately identifiable from workers of
the subject firm who are engaged in
production of Class 8 heavy duty trucks.
The certification of a company
supplying interior components for
heavy duty trucks is also not relevant to
this investigation.
When assessing eligibility for TAA,
the Department exclusively considers
shift in production of articles like or
directly competitive with the ones
manufactured at the subject firm during
the relevant period (one year prior to the
date of the petition). The issue of a shift
in production by the subject firm to a
foreign country was addressed during
the initial investigation. It was revealed
that the subject firm did not shift
production of Class 8 heavy duty trucks
during the relevant period.
The petitioner did not supply facts
not previously considered; nor provide
additional documentation indicating
that there was either (1) a mistake in the
determination of facts not previously
considered or (2) a misinterpretation of
facts or of the law justifying
reconsideration of the initial
determination.
After careful review of the request for
reconsideration, the Department
determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has not
been met.

Notice of Negative Determination on
Reconsideration
Conclusion
On May 12, 2009, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
notice will soon be published in the
Federal Register.
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
and no shift of production to a foreign
source occurred.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleged that the workers of the
subject firm also produced non-filtration
products, specifically nonwoven fabrics
used in medical applications, hygiene
applications and nonwoven rolled
goods. The petitioner also alleged that
the subject firm shifted production of
non-filtration products abroad and that
there was an increase in imports of nonfiltration products.
The Department of Labor contacted a
company official to verify this
information. The company official
stated that the subject firm ceased
production of the non-filtration
products at the end of 2006 and that
none of the articles outlined by the
petitioner were manufactured by
workers of the subject firm since 2006.
When assessing eligibility for TAA,
the Department exclusively considers
production and import impact during
the relevant time period (one year prior
to the date of the petition). Therefore,
events occurring prior to January 22,
2008 are outside of the relevant period
and are not relevant in this
investigation.
After review of the application and
investigative findings, I conclude that
there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
facts which would justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.
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
Fiberweb, PLC, Simpsonville, South
Carolina.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 19th day of

Southern Nuclear Operating Company;
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendment to Facility Operating
License, Proposed No Significant
Hazards, Consideration Determination,
and Opportunity for a Hearing, and
Order Imposing Procedures for Access
to Sensitive Unclassified NonSafeguards Information (SUNSI) for
Contention Preparation
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) is
considering issuance of an amendment
to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF–
68 and NPF–81 issued to Southern
Nuclear Operating Company (the
licensee) for operation of the Vogtle
Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2,
located in Burke County, Georgia.
The proposed amendment would
revise Technical Specification (TS)
5.5.9, ‘‘Steam Generator (SG) Program,’’
to exclude portions of the tubes within
the tubesheet from periodic SG
inspections. In addition, this
amendment proposes to revise TS
5.6.10, ‘‘Steam Generator Tube
Inspection Report’’ to remove reference
to previous interim alternate repair
criteria and provide reporting
requirements specific to the permanent
alternate repair criteria. The proposed
change defines the safety significant
portion of the tube that must be
inspected and repaired. The amendment
application dated May 19, 2009,
contains sensitive unclassified nonsafeguards information (SUNSI).
Before issuance of the proposed
license amendment, the Commission
will have made findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s
regulations.
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
amendment request involves no
significant hazards consideration. Under
the Commission’s regulations in Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), Section 50.92, this means that
operation of the facility in accordance
with the proposed amendment would
not (1) involve a significant increase in
the probability or consequences of an
accident previously evaluated; or (2)
create the possibility of a new or
different kind of accident from any
accident previously evaluated; or (3)
involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety. As required by 10 CFR
50.91(a), the licensee has provided its
analysis of the issue of no significant
