Wacker Neuson Corporation, a
Subsidiary of Wacker Neuson SE.
Menomonee Falls, WI; Notice of
Termination of Investigation
By application dated August 17, 2010,
a company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the
affirmative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
certification of eligibility was issued on
July 30, 2010. The Department’s Notice
of determination was published in the
Federal Register on August 13, 2010 (75
FR 49530). The workers produce
construction equipment and are not
separately identifiable by product line.
The initial investigation resulted in an
affirmative determination based on the
findings that a significant proportion or
number of the workers at the subject
firm were totally or partially separated,
or threatened with such separation, that
the subject firm shifted to a foreign
country the production of articles like or
directly competitive with those
produced by the workers, and that the
shift in production contributed
importantly to worker group separations
at the subject firm.
On August 18, 2010, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
Department’s Notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register
on August 30, 2010 (75 FR 52980).
In the request for reconsideration, the
company official requested that the
Department rescind the affirmative
determination regarding worker
eligibility to apply for TAA. The
company official stated that the shift in
production abroad did not contribute
importantly to worker separations
because the production of the article
that shifted employed a negligible
number of workers and, when
production shifted abroad, those

workers were reassigned to other
product lines.
Under 29 CFR 90.18(a), ‘‘Any worker,
group of workers, certified or recognized
union, or authorized representative of
such worker group, aggrieved by a
determination issued pursuant to the
Act * * * may file an application for
reconsideration of the determination
* * *.’’
Upon further review of the request for
reconsideration, the Department
determines that an employer’s request
for reconsideration of an affirmative
determination is not in the best interest
of the worker group and, therefore, the
Department cannot infer that the
employer is acting as an ‘‘authorized
representative’’ of the worker group.
Further investigation on
administrative reconsideration would
serve no purpose; therefore, the
investigation is terminated.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 2nd day of
May, 2011.

Comment Request
ACTION:
Notice.
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

opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95). 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). This

financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the Office
of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs is soliciting comments
concerning its proposal to extend the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval of the Non-construction
Supply and Service Information
Collection. A copy of the proposed

(OFCCP) administers three
nondiscrimination and equal

authorities prohibit employment

discrimination but also require
affirmative action to ensure that equal
employment opportunities are available
regardless of race, sex, color, national
origin, religion, or status as a qualified
individual with a disability or protected
veteran by Federal contractors.
• Executive Order 11246, as amended
(EO 11246);
• Section 503 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 793;
and
• The affirmative action provisions of
the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, 38
U.S.C. 4212.
For purposes of this clearance, OFCCP
is dividing its responsibilities under
these authorities into categories: (1)
Construction and (2) non-construction
(supply and service). This clearance
request covers the EO 11246 nonconstruction supply and service aspects
of our program. To view the current
supply and service Information
Collection, go to https://
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=200804-1215-003.
A separate Information Collection
Request (ICR), approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
OMB No. 1250–0001 (formerly 1215–
0163), covers the construction aspects of
these programs.
E.O. 11246 prohibits Federal
contractors from discriminating against
applicants and employees on the basis
of race, color, religion, sex, or national
origin. The E.O. 11246 applies to
Federal contractors and subcontractors
and to federally assisted construction
contractors holding a Government
contract of $10,000 or more, or
Government contracts which have, or
can reasonably be expected to have, an
aggregate total value exceeding $10,000
in a 12-month period. The E.O. 11246
also applies to government bills of
lading, depositories of Federal funds in
any amount, and to financial
institutions that are issuing and paying
agents for U.S. Savings Bonds.
The ICR discussed below will address
EO 11246, non-construction Supply and
Service program, that is subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA).
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the compliance and enforcement
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

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 submissions
of responses.

provisions of the three legal authorities
it administers.
