Exemption Involving Owens & Minor,
Inc. (the Applicant), Located in
Mechanicsville, VA
In the December 16, 2010 issue of the
Federal Register, at 75 FR 78772, the
Department of Labor published a notice
of proposed exemption from the
prohibited transaction restrictions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended, and from
certain taxes imposed by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986. The notice of
proposed exemption, if granted, would
have permitted the sale of certain shares
in a hedge fund by the Owens & Minor,
Inc. Pension Plan to the applicant.
By e-mail dated February 8, 2011, the
applicant requested that the application
for exemption be withdrawn.
Accordingly, the notice of proposed
exemption is hereby withdrawn.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th day of

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers
and former workers of Quad Tech, Inc.,
Sussex, Wisconsin (TA–W–73,441A)
(subject firm). The determination was
issued on January 4, 2011. The
Department’s Notice of Determination
was published in the Federal Register
on January 26, 2011 (76 FR 4729). The
workers are engaged in activities related
to the production of magazines and
catalogs. Specifically, the workers of the
subject firm provide steel stackers and
equipment for printers to affiliated
locations.
The negative determination was based
on the Department’s findings that, with
regards to workers covered by TA–W–
73,441A, Quad Graphics did not shift to
or acquire from a foreign country the
production of articles like or directly
competitive with those produced by the
subject workers; that there were no
increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with those
produced by the subject firm during the
relevant period; and that the workers are
not adversely-affected secondary
workers.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleged that ‘‘work here
decreased from work being sent
elsewhere (India)’’ and ‘‘shift from our
firm to India with silo work.’’
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 petitioning workers
meet the eligibility requirements of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

Proposed Collection of Information for
an Evaluation of the Young Parents
Demonstration Project (YPDP);
Comment Request
Employment and Training
Administration (ETA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
[44 U.S.C. 3505(c)(2)(A)]. The program
helps to ensure that requested data can
be provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of the collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed.
The proposed information collection
is for an evaluation of the YPDP. The
YPDP is sponsored by ETA to test
innovative strategies that can improve
the skills and education of young
parents and, ultimately their
employment and earnings.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addressee’s section below on or before
May 16, 2011.
ADDRESSES: A copy of this proposed
information collection request may be
obtained by contacting Savi Swick at
202–693–3382 (this is not a toll-free
number) or e-mail: swick.savi@dol.gov.
Comments are to be submitted to
Department of Labor/Employment and
Training Administration, Attn: Savi
Swick, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW.,
(Room N–5641) Washington, DC 20210).
Written comments may be transmitted

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The proposed information collection
is for an evaluation of the YPDP. The
YPDP is sponsored by ETA to test
innovative strategies that can improve
the skills and education of young
parents and, ultimately their
employment and earnings.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2011 / Notices
The YPDP grantees are required to
develop a ‘‘bump-up’’ intervention
providing an additional level of services
above and beyond the existing services
currently provided that are specifically
intended to increase an individual’s
education, job training and
employment. A key factor in the bumpup design is having a single, persistent
intervention for the treatment group that
is substantially different from what the
control group receives. Each of the
grantees is implementing one of the
following two bump-up interventions:
• Mentoring Models—Intensive
professional staff mentoring specifically
for education, employment, and
training; and specifically for pregnant
and parenting teens and young parents;
or
• Employment/Education/Training
Models—Guided employment,
education, training and related supports
specifically for pregnant and parenting
teens and young parents.1
Individuals enrolling in YPDP have a
50/50 chance of receiving this
additional level of services. Those
individuals not receiving the bump up
services receive the existing services
offered by the grantee. To evaluate the
YPDP bump-up interventions,
education, employment, and other
outcomes of the two groups will be
compared over time. The evaluation
will estimate the success in providing
educational and occupational skills
training that fosters family economic
self-sufficiency to young parents (both
mothers and fathers) and expectant
parents ages 16–24.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
The Department is particularly
interested in comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
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 submission of
responses.

III. Current Actions
This proposed information collection
will involve (1) collecting participant
data from organizations that received
grants under the YPDP; (2) conducting
semi-structured interviews with key
administrators and staff in the
demonstration projects to document the
structure and implementation of the
demonstration intervention; and (3)
conducting a follow-up survey of YPDP
participants.
