Download as PDF 880 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 3 / Wednesday, January 6, 2010 / Notices 19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on September 23, 2009, applicable to workers of National Semiconductor Corporation, Arlington Manufacturing Site, including on-site leased workers from GCA, CMPA, Custom Foods, Allied Barton Security, and ASML, Arlington, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal Register November 17, 2009 (74 FR 59253). At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in activities related to the production of integrated circuits. The company reports that on-site leased workers from ASML and Construction Mechanical Systems were employed on-site at the Arlington, Texas location of National Semiconductor Corporation. The Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers. Information also shows that on-site leased workers separated from employment at CMPA had their wages reported under a separated unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Silverleaf. Based on these findings, the Department is amending the certification to include workers leased from ASML and Construction Mechanical Systems working on-site at the Arlington, Texas location of National Semiconductor Corporation, Arlington Manufacturing Site and to show that on-site leased workers from CMPS have their (UI) wages reported to Silverleaf. The amended notice applicable to TA–W–70,351 is hereby issued as follows: jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES All workers of National Semiconductor Corporation, Arlington Manufacturing Site, including on-site leased workers from GCA, CMPA (Silverleaf), Custom Foods, Allied Barton Security, ASML, and Construction Mechanical Systems, Arlington, Texas, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after May 18, 2008, through September 23, 2011, and all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation from employment on date of certification through two years from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. Signed in Washington, DC, this 16th day of December, 2009. Richard Church, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.

POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. CP2010–19; Order No. 374] New Postal Product AGENCY: E:\FR\FM\06JAN1.SGM Postal Regulatory Commission. 06JAN1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 3 / Wednesday, January 6, 2010 / Notices I. Background On December 23, 2009, the Postal Service filed a notice announcing that it has entered into an additional Global Direct Contracts 1 agreement.1 Global Direct Contracts 1 provide a rate for mail acceptance within the United States and transportation to a receiving country, with the addition by the customer of appropriate foreign indicia, and payment by the Postal Service of the appropriate settlement charges to the receiving country. The Postal Service believes the instant agreement is functionally equivalent to previously submitted Global Direct Contracts 1 agreements, and supported by the Governors’ Decision filed in Docket No. MC2008–7.2 The Postal Service contends that the instant agreement should be included within the Global Direct Contracts 1 product. Id. at 2. The instant contract. The Postal Service filed the instant agreement pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, the Postal Service contends that the agreement is in accordance with PRC Order No. 153.3 Id. It submitted the contract and supporting material under seal, and attached the following: 1. Attachment 1—a redacted copy of the contract; 2. Attachment 2—a certified statement required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2); 3. Attachment 3—an application for non-public treatment of materials to maintain the contract and supporting documents under seal; and 4. Attachment 4—a redacted copy of Governors’ Decision No. 08–10, which establishes prices and classifications for Global Direct, Global Bulk Economy, and Global Plus Contracts. The Postal Service will notify the customer of the effective date of the contract, which is the immediate successor of the Global Direct contract at issue in Docket No. CP2009–18, within 30 days after receiving all regulatory approvals.4 Notice at 2–3. To that end, the Postal Service also explains that a redacted version of the supporting financial documentation is included with this filing as a separate Excel file. Id. at 2. The Notice identifies the instant agreement as fitting within the Mail Classification Schedule language for Global Direct Contracts, and indicates that this agreement is set to replace the one expiring soon.5 The Notice also provides the Postal Service’s rationale for concluding that the instant contract is functionally equivalent to the concurrently proposed new baseline contract filed in Docket Nos. CP2010–17 and CP2010–18. Id. The Postal Service submits that the instant contract and the proposed new baseline contract share similar cost and market characteristics with only a minor difference while the ‘‘core terms and conditions remain the same.’’ Id. Unlike the proposed new baseline contract, the present contract ‘‘allows the customer to tender items that meet the requirements for Canada Post’s domestic Ad Mail service, in addition to the types of Canada Post items covered by the contract in Docket Nos. MC2010–17 and CP2010–18.’’ Id. This kind of distinction, it adds, has not precluded functionally equivalent treatment in the past. Id. at 3, n.6, citing PRC Order No. 166. Thus, it concludes 1Notice of United States Postal Service Filing of Functionally Equivalent Global Direct Contracts 1 Negotiated Service Agreement, December 23, 2009 (Notice). 2Notice at 1–2, citing Attachment 4 reflecting a redacted version of Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on the Establishment of Prices and Classifications for Global Direct, Global Bulk Economy, and Global Plus Contracts (Governors’ Decision No. 08–10), July 16, 2008.
