Del Min Amy Chen, Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance. Employment and Training Administration [TA–W–70,910] Sypris Technologies, Sypris Solutions Division, Kenton, OH; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES On October 7, 2010, the Department of Labor issued a Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration applicable to the request for administrative reconsideration filed by the United Steel Workers, Local 1–109, on behalf of workers and former workers of Sypris Technologies, Sypris Solutions Division, Kenton, Ohio (subject firm). The Department’s Notice was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2010 (75 FR 65514). The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination that was based on the findings that increased imports did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift in production to a foreign country occurred. During the reconsideration investigation, the Department conducted an expanded survey of the subject firm’s major declining customers to supplement the information gathered during the initial investigation. The survey revealed increased customer reliance on imported trailer axle beams and that the increased imports had contributed importantly to worker separations at the subject firm. Conclusion After careful review of the additional facts obtained during the reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of Sypris Technologies, Sypris Solutions Division, Kenton, Ohio, who are engaged in employment related to the production of trailer axle beams, meet the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273, I make the following certification: ‘‘All workers of Sypris Technologies, Sypris Solutions Division, Kenton, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:57 Nov 26, 2010 from employment on or after May 18, 2008, through two years from the date of this certification, 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.’’ Jkt 223001 [FR Doc. 2010–29823 Filed 11–26–10; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests: Public Demand for Museum and Library Services (PDMLS) Survey Institute of Museum and Library Services, The National Foundation for the Arts and the Humanities.

That role is now more essential than ever. Through building technological infrastructure and strengthening community relationships, libraries and museums can offer the public unprecedented access to and expertise in transforming information overload into knowledge. IMLS provides leadership and funding for the nation’s museums and libraries, to help them fulfill their mission of becoming centers of life-long learning crucial to achieving personal fulfillment, a productive workforce and an engaged citizenry. Consistent with this (20 U.S.C. Chapter 72, 20 U.S.C. 9108), the intention of the PDMLS is to monitor expectations of and satisfaction with library and museum services. A wide range of topics will be covered, with a small number of questions about each topic included on the survey. The purpose of this survey is to determine attitudes, assess awareness of issues related to library and museum services, and tracking trends. The survey will be used to gather information on a wide range of library and museum services. The design of the PDMLS will be a random digital dial (‘‘RDD’’) telephone survey of the adult, non-institutionalized U.S. population which will yield a minimum of 3,000 cases. The PDMLS will include a core set of demographic questions (e.g., age, gender, race, geographic area) as well as a core set of questions that are based on critical information needs within IMLS (e.g., satisfaction with the library and museum services as a whole; frequency of utilization of various services; physical and virtual access to services). In addition to these core questions, supplemental questions may also be included. The telephone survey is projected to average 18 to 20 minutes to complete.
