practical utility;

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and

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.
Agency: Employment and Training
Administration.
Title of Collection: American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
High Growth and Emerging Industries
(HGEI) Grants.
OMB Control Number: Pending.
Affected Public: Private Sector
(relevant grantees) and Individuals or
households (program participants)
Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: 262 grantees and 33,000
program participants.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 87,048.
Total Estimated Annual Cost Burden
(excluding hourly wage costs): $0.
Description: The American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (The
Recovery Act) was signed into law by
President Obama on February 17, 2009.
Among other funding directed to the
Department of Labor, the Recovery Act
provides $750 million for a program of
competitive grants for worker training
and placement in high growth and
emerging industries, the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
High Growth and Emerging Industries
(HGEI) grants. It is critical to record the
impact of these Recovery Act resources,
current information on participants in
these grants, and the services provided
to them. Therefore, to obtain a more
robust look at participants and services
provided with Recovery Act resources,
the Employment & Training
Administration (ETA) proposes a new
information collection set for ARRA
HGEI grantees.
Why Are We Requesting Emergency
Processing? This collection comprises a
participant and performance reporting
strategy that will provide a more robust
view of the impact of the Recovery Act
funds, providing greater information on
levels of program participation, the
characteristics of the participants served
and the types of services provided
through ARRA HGEI programs. The
performance reporting requirements in
this package align with outcome
categories identified in the Solicitation
for Grant Applications (SGAs) used to
award these grants, SGA/DFA PY–08–
17, SGA/DFA PY–08–18, SGA/DFA PY–
08–19, SGA/DFA PY–08–20, SGA/DFA
PY–08–21 and SGA/DFA PY–09–01.
This data collection will provide ETA
with more comprehensive information
on the status of individual grants and
individuals that receive services and
find employment through these grants,
and the data collection will enable ETA
to provide more targeted technical
assistance to support improvement of
grantee outcomes. ETA will provide

Frm 00057

Sfmt 4703
ARRA HGEI grantees with a data
collection system that will support the
collection of participant data for
required reporting elements. ETA has
already started awarding ARRA HGEI
grants, and expects to award nearly all
ARRA HGEI grants by February 2010, so
the approval of this request is also
necessary to allow ETA to provide an
OMB approved reporting form quickly
to ARRA HGEI grantees as their grant
operations commence and to report
performance accountability information
immediately on the use of Recovery Act
funds.

Aleris Blanking and Rim Products, Inc.,
a Division of Aleris International, Inc.,
Terre Haute, IN; Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated January 29,
2010, the 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 December
10, 2009 and the Notice of
Determination was published in the
Federal Register on January 25, 2010
(75 FR 3932).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
findings that imports of aluminum
blanks and hoops 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.
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
