In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (‘‘Act’’),
19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor
issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on July 16, 2010, applicable
to workers of Cinram Manufacturing,
LLC, a subsidiary of Cinram
International, including on-site leased
workers from OneSource Staffing
Solutions, Olyphant, Pennsylvania. The
workers are engaged in employment
related to the production of optical
media devices (DVDs, CDs, and Blu-ray
discs)produce decorative metal products
for appliances. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on
August 2, 2010 (75 FR 45162).
At the request of a petitioner, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
company reports that workers leased
from Canteen, a division of Compass
Group were employed on-site at the
Olyphant, Pennsylvania location of
Cinram Manufacturing, LLC. The
Department has determined that these
workers were sufficiently under the
control of Cinram Manufacturing, LLC
to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased
from Canteen, a division of Compass
Group working on-site at the Olyphant,
Pennsylvania location of Cinram
Manufacturing, LLC.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–73,644 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Cinram Manufacturing, LLC,
a subsidiary of Cinram International,
including on-site leased workers from
OneSource Staffing Solutions and Canteen, a
division of Compass Group, Olyphant,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after March 4, 2009, through July 16, 2012,
and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment
on the date of certification through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act
or for developing information regarding
the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The Respiratory Protection Standard
(29 CFR 1910.134; hereafter, ‘‘the
E:\FR\FM\14MRN1.SGM
14MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 49 / Monday, March 14, 2011 / Notices
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Standard’’) contains information
collection requirements that require
employers to: Develop a written
respirator program; conduct worker
medical evaluations and provide followup medical evaluations to determine the
worker’s ability to use a respirator;
provide the physician or other licensed
healthcare professional with
information about the worker’s
respirator and the conditions under
which the worker will use the
respirator; and administer fit tests for
workers who will use negative- or
positive-pressure, tight-fitting
facepieces. In addition, employers must
ensure that workers store emergency-use
respirators in compartments clearly
marked as containing emergency-use
respirators. For respirators maintained
for emergency use, employers must
label or tag the respirator with a
certificate stating the date of the
inspection, the name of the individual
who made the inspection, the findings
of the inspection, required remedial
action, and the identity of the respirator.
The Standard also requires employers
to ensure that cylinders used to supply
breathing air to respirators have a
certificate of analysis from the supplier
stating that the breathing air meets the
requirements for Type 1—Grade D
breathing air; such certification assures
employers that the purchased breathing
air is safe. Compressors used to supply
breathing air to respirators must have a
tag containing the most recent change
date and the signature of the individual
authorized by the employer to perform
the change. Employers must maintain
this tag at the compressor. These tags
provide assurance that the compressors
are functioning properly.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information

hours). The Agency will summarize the
