American Spring Wire Corporation,
Kankakee, Illinois meet the criteria as
Suppliers for secondary worker
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a
significant number or proportion of
workers in the workers’ firm were
totally or partially separated, or were
threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been met because
workers of subject firm produced and
sold spring wire for a firm that
employed a worker group eligible to
apply for TAA and the spring wire was
related to the article that was the basis
for the TAA certification.
Criterion III has been met because the
loss of business by subject firm with the
aforementioned firm, with respect to
spring wire, contributed importantly to
worker separations, or threat of
separations, at the Kankakee, Illinois
facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
determine that workers and former
workers of subject firm, who are
engaged in employment related to the
supply of spring wire, meet the worker
group certification criteria under
Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
2272(c). In accordance with Section 223
of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273, I make the
following certification:
All workers of American Spring Wire
Corporation, Kankakee, Illinois, who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 17, 2008,
through two years from the date of this
revised 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.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 6th day of
April, 2011.

ACTION:
Notice of public meeting.
The U.S. Copyright Office of
the Library of Congress will host a
public meeting on May 24, 2011, with
members of the publishing community
to discuss lessons learned from the
Office’s receipt of electronic deposits in
fulfillment of the mandatory deposit
requirements of the copyright law. The
objective is to identify file submission,
packaging, and formatting standards
that can effectively and efficiently be
adapted to the workflow requirements
for both the publishing community and
the Library of Congress.
DATES: The public meeting will take
place on Tuesday, May 24, 2011, from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Responses by parties
interested in participating are due by 5
p.m. May 11, 2011.
ADDRESSES: The public meeting will
take place in the Copyright Hearing
Room of the Madison Building of the
Library of Congress, LM–408, 101
Independence Ave., SE., 20059. With
respect to the notices of participation,
the Copyright Office strongly prefers
that responses be submitted
electronically. Notices of participation
with the required information should be
sent to cad@loc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 25, 2010, the Copyright Office
adopted an interim regulation governing
the mandatory deposit of published
electronic works available only on-line.
75 FR 3863 (January 25, 2010). This
regulation permits the Copyright Office
to acquire, on behalf of the Library of
Congress, electronic works published
only online and available exclusively in
electronic formats. Prior to this
regulation, all online-only works were
exempt from the mandatory deposit
provisions of the copyright law.
Under the interim regulation, certain
works available only online, i.e.,
electronic serials, are now subject to the
mandatory deposit requirement but only
to the extent the Copyright Office issues
a demand notice for the works. Once the
Copyright Office and the Library of
Congress have gained experience with
ingesting digital works, additional
categories of electronic works published
only online will be added to the list.
On September 1, 2010, the Copyright
Office, on behalf of the Library of
Congress, issued its first mandatory
deposit notice for works published only
online. To date, 30 publishers have
received demand notices for a total of 85
online-only titles. These 30 publishers
SUMMARY:

represent a cross section of the
community, including large commercial
publishers, small commercial
publishers, academic institutions, and
open access as well as subscription
based titles.
The online-only deposit amendment
was issued as an ‘‘interim’’ regulation
because the Copyright Office foresaw
that ‘‘the experience of issuing and
responding to demands for online–only
works will raise additional issues that
should be considered before the
regulation becomes final, e.g., the
technical details of how an online–only
work should be transmitted to the
Copyright Office.’’ 75 FR 3864 (January
25, 2010). The experience of the
Copyright Office thus far is that every
submission has been unique. Although
suggested submission instructions were
provided, no two publishers have
transmitted, packaged or formatted their
files in the same manner. Needless to
say this has created tremendous
technical challenges not only for the
Library of Congress but also for the
publishers responding to the demand
notices.
In response to these multiple
transmission, packaging, and formatting
issues, the Copyright Office will be
hosting a public working session to
discuss the packaging and submission
processes to fulfill a mandatory deposit
demand for an electronic work. The goal
is to identify a maximum of five
possible packaging standards,
transmission protocols, and file
structures that will work for the
publishing community as well as for the
Office and the Library. The participants
should represent all segments of the
serial publishing community, such as
publishers, aggregators, abstract and
indexing services, journal hosting
services, software developers, file
conversion services, file archiving
services, and organizations focusing on
library and electronic information
standards. We encourage these groups to
send representatives to the meeting to
foster a well-informed discussion of the
issues.
Limits on participation: Due to space
constraints, we regret that we cannot
accommodate more than two
representatives per organization. We ask
that one of these representatives be
well-versed in your organization’s
technical and workflow requirements
related to content production, file
formats, file naming conventions,
metadata, file transmission, and file
packaging guidelines.
Notice of participation: A notice to
participate in the meeting must be filed
no later than 5 p.m. on May 11, 2011.
Each notice should be submitted by e-

telefax, and an e-mail address. To avoid
spam blocks, all participants should add

Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108–199, Division
D), the Millennium Challenge
Corporation (MCC) is publishing a
summary and the complete text of the

Summary of Millennium Challenge
Compact With the Republic of Malawi
The five-year Millennium Challenge
Compact with the Republic of Malawi
will provide up to $350.7 million to
reduce poverty through economic
growth (the ‘‘Compact’’). The Compact
focuses on revitalization of the Malawi
power sector, and is intended to:
(i) Increase investment and employment
income by raising the profitability and
productivity of enterprises; (ii) expand
access to electricity for the Malawian
people and businesses; and (iii) improve
delivery of social services.
18:34 Apr 13, 2011
To advance the Compact goal of
reducing poverty through economic
growth, the Compact will fund a Power
Sector Revitalization Project (the
‘‘Project’’) that aims to improve the
availability, reliability, and quality of
the power supply by: (i) Increasing the
throughput capacity and stability of the
national electricity grid; (ii) increase
efficiency of hydropower generation;
and (iii) create an enabling environment
for future expansion by strengthening
sector institutions and enhancing
regulation and governance of the sector.
The Project consists of two activities (i)
the Infrastructure Development Activity
and (ii) the Power Sector Reform
Activity (the ‘‘Activities’’).

1. Project Overview and Activity
Descriptions
Jkt 223001
The Infrastructure Development
Activity focuses on the rehabilitation,
upgrade and modernization of those
generation, transmission and
distribution assets of the Electricity
Supply Corporation of Malawi
(‘‘ESCOM’’) in most urgent need of
repair, in order to improve the
capability of the transmission system
and increase the efficiency and
sustainability of hydropower generation.
Because maintaining the current
generation assets and expanding
generation capacity are necessary to
ensure realization of the full benefits of
the Infrastructure Development Activity,
the Government of Malawi (‘‘GOM’’) is
committing to maintain current
generation assets, and to invest in new
generation by completing the
construction of the 64 MW Kapichira II
hydropower plant during the term of the
Compact. By the end of the Compact
term, MCC expects that the
Infrastructure Development Activity
will result in increases in generation
capacity (from 286 MW to 356 MW),
network throughput (from 260 MW to
410 MW) and distribution capability
(from 868 megavolt amperes (MVA) to
1,118 MVA), as well as a reduction of
technical losses of the power system
(from 20–25% to 18%).
The Infrastructure Development
Activity consists of the following four
sub-activities:
(a) Nkula A Rehabilitation SubActivity. This sub-activity will provide
funding to rehabilitate and modernize
Malawi’s oldest major hydropower plant
Nkula A—at the Nkula Falls
Hydroelectric plant. The objective of
this proposed investment is to improve
the availability of power in Malawi by
reducing outages caused by the

condition of assets, and maximizing the
power output of generators. The
rehabilitation is necessary to assist
ESCOM avoid the good probability that
at least a portion, if not all, of the plant
could fail by the end of the Compact
without MCC’s investment. Such a loss
in generation output would have a
significant adverse affect on the Malawi
economy, and severely compromise the
potential utilization and returns on
MCC’s investment in the transmission
and distribution upgrade and
rehabilitation.
(b) Transmission Network Upgrade
Sub-Activity. This sub-activity will
upgrade the backbone of the
transmission network in order to:
(i) Improve the quality and reliability of
supply in the northern, central and
southern regions of the country; (ii)
increase the capacity to move power
from the south, where 98 percent of
Malawi’s power is generated, to the
central and northern regions; (iii) reduce
technical losses on transmission lines;
and (iv) provide a secure transmission
link between the southern and central
regions.
(c) Transmission and Distribution
Upgrade, Expansion, and Rehabilitation
Sub-Activity. This sub-activity includes
investments in the southern, central,
and northern power systems of the
Malawi power network in order to: (i)
Upgrade existing network connections
(33-kilovolt (kV), 11kV); (ii) extend
existing substations; (iii) upgrade
transformers in existing substations; (iv)
develop new substations; (v) install and/
or repair improved protection systems;
(vi) provide new network extensions
and connections; and (vii) install a new
system control and data acquisition
system.
(d) Environment and Natural
Resource Management (ENRM) SubActivity. The objective of the ENRM
sub-activity is to help the GOM and
other relevant stakeholders address the
growing problems of aquatic weed
infestation and excessive sedimentation
in the Shire River, which cause costly
disruptions to downstream power plant
operations. The ENRM sub-activity
intends to address these issues by:
(i) Mitigating the impact of the weeds
and sedimentation by providing
dredgers and weed-harvesting
equipment for use at existing
hydropower plants and the Liwonde
Barrage, and expanding use of upstream
biological control measures; and (ii)
developing and implementing an
Environmental and Natural Resource
Management Action Plan (ENRMAP)
that sets the course for an improved
understanding and action on
environmental, social (including
