Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
Victoria and Company, Ltd., A Division
of Jones Apparel Group, East
Providence, RI; Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated October 19,
2009, a petitioner requested
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on September
28, 2009. The Notice of Determination
will soon be published in the Federal
Register.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of powdered metals
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 regarding customers of the
subject firm and imports of powdered
metals.
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
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.

By application dated September 30,
2009, the petitioners requested
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on September
10, 2009. The Notice of Determination
will soon be published in the Federal
Register.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of solid fragrance
compacts did not contribute importantly
to worker separations at the subject
firm. The investigation revealed that the
subject firm did not shift production of
solid fragrance compacts to foreign
countries during the period under
investigation.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleged that workers of the
subject firm also designed and
fabricated jewelry master models and
that the subject firm shifted production
of master models to China.
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

(WIA),’’ Title I–D, Section 166 of the
Extension Without Change; Office of
Management Budget (OMB) Control
No. 1205–0422
AGENCY: Employment and Training
Administration (ETA).
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor
(DOL), as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden conducts a preclearance
consultation to provide the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA
95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 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.
The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (The
Recovery Act), Division A, Title VIII, of
Public Law 111–5, added a temporary
funding increase for an Indian and
Native American youth program
component, requiring the collection of
some additional data elements to ETA
Form 9085. In addition, this information
must now be collected monthly to
properly account for Recovery Act
funds.
This notice utilizes standard
clearance procedures in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 and 5 CFR 1320.12. This
information collection follows an
emergency review that was conducted
in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 and 5 CFR
1320.13. The submission for OMB
emergency review was approved on
August 27, 2009. A copy of this
Information Collection Requirement can
be obtained from the RegInfo.gov.

submitted to the office listed in the
addressee’s section below on or before
January 4, 2010.

M. Campbell, Manager, Indian and
Native American Program, Room N–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Each Indian and Native American
(INA) grantee receiving WIA Section
166 funds to administer the
Comprehensive Services Program (CSP)
is required to submit a CSP Report (ETA
Form 9084) on a quarterly basis.
Grantees receiving WIA Section 166
Supplemental Youth Services Program
(SYSP) funds currently submit SYSP
Report (ETA Form 9085) semi-annually.
However, the request to modify and
extend the existing ETA Form 9085
report submitted each quarter by INA
grantees is based on the following:
The ETA requires the collection and
reporting of data on eligible persons
served under the WIA, Section 166
SYSP to assess the performance and
delivery of services. The recent release
of additional funds under the Recovery
Act is intended to serve a greater
number of youth and requires the
collection and reporting of participant
data to evaluate program performance.
INA grantees are now required to
submit quarterly participant data reports
on all youth served by the SYSP (see
Frequency of Reporting below) and to
distinguish between youth served with
Recovery Act funds and youth served
with regular WIA Section 166 funds and
report ‘‘Recovery Act’’ youth through a
supplemental (monthly) youth report. In
this supplemental report, INA grantees
report aggregate counts of all Recovery
Act youth participants, including the
characteristics of participants, the
number of participants in summer
employment, services received,
attainment of a work readiness skill,
required by the Recovery Act, and
successful completion of summer youth
employment.
The Recovery Act made it necessary
to create additional fields in ETA Form
9085 because of: (1) A change in
eligibility, increasing the age limit to 24;
and (2) an emphasis on using funds for
summer employment. By aligning
Recovery Act with regular program
reporting in ETA Form 9085, the
grantees are reporting critical
information with a minimal additional
burden.
Changes to Youth Reporting
Changes made to the SYSP Report
(ETA Form 9085) are provided below.
Copies of ETA Forms 9084 and 9085 can

be reviewed at: https://wdr.doleta.gov/
directives/attach/TEGL/TEGL0509a1.pdf.
Changes Made in Order To Incorporate
Recovery Act Participants
• Reporting frequency will be
monthly (Recovery Act Report only);
• Age requirement for eligibility has
been increased to 24 (Recovery Act
participants only);
• Collect information on participants
in summer employment;
• Collect information on participants
that exited summer employment;
• Collect information on participants
that successfully completed work
readiness;
• Collect information on participants
that successfully completed summer
employment;
• Work Readiness Attainment Rate
added as an indicator; and
• Summer Employment Completion
Rate added as an indicator.
Non-Recovery Act Changes To Apply to
the Regular SYSP
• Reporting frequency changed from
semi-annual to quarterly;
• Collect information on number of
youth served with disabilities;
• Collect information on number of
in-school youth served;
• Collect information on number of
out-of-school youth served;
• Collect information on the number
of youth served between the ages 14–18,
19–21; and
• Collect information on number of
eligible veterans served.
II. Review Focus
The DOL is particularly interested in
comments 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.
