Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance

After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these
petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.

[[Page 49533]]

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitions are the subject of ongoing investigations under
petitions filed earlier covering the same petitioners.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the Department issued a negative determination on petitions
related to the relevant investigation period applicable to the same
worker group. The duplicative petitions did not present new information
or a change in circumstances that would result in a reversal of the
Department's previous negative determination, and therefore, further
investigation would duplicate efforts and serve no purpose.

I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were issued
during the period of July 26, 2010 through July 30, 2010. Copies of
these determinations may be requested under the Freedom of Information
Act. Requests may be submitted by fax, courier services, or mail to
FOIA Disclosure Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance (ETA),
U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC
20210 or tofoiarequest@dol.gov. These determinations also are available
on the Department's Web site at https://www.doleta.gov/tradeact under
the searchable listing of determinations.

Dated: August 4, 2010.
