The
proposed baseline information
collection is preparation for an
evaluation of the Green Jobs and Health
Care (GJHC) training grants. The ETA
sponsors the GJHC grant program for
worker training and placement in high
growth and emerging industries through
training grants, including the Pathways
Out of Poverty (POP) and Health Care
and High Growth (HHG) grants.
The overall aim of this evaluation is
to determine the extent to which
enrollees achieve increases in
employment, earnings, and career
advancement because of their
participation in the training provided by
POP and HHG grantees and to identify
promising best practices and strategies
for replication. Individuals enrolling in
the GJHC training programs have a 50/
50 chance of receiving these services.
Those individuals not receiving the
training services receive the existing
services offered by the grantee.
Education, employment, and other
outcomes of the two groups will be
compared over time to evaluate the
GJHC training grant impact. The
evaluation will estimate the success in
providing educational and occupational
skills training that fosters entry into job
fields that are innovative and/or
experiencing high growth, as in health
care industry.
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES

Husqvarna Turf Care, a Subsidiary of
Husqvarna A.B., Beatrice, NE; Notice
of Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated April 23, 2011,
a petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
PO 00000
Frm 00083
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers
and former workers of Husqvarna Turf
Care, a subsidiary of Husqvarna A.B.,
Beatrice, Nebraska (subject firm). The
negative determination was issued on
March 23, 2011. The Department’s
Notice of Determination was published
in the Federal Register on April 11,
2011 (76 FR 20048). The workers are
engaged in activities related to the
production of zero turn mowers for
commercial users and home owners.
The negative determination was based
on the findings that Criterion III has not
been met because the worker
separations are not attributable to
increased imports or a shift in
production to a foreign country. Rather,
the investigation established that the
worker separations were attributable to
a shift in production to an affiliated
facility within the United States, and
that the shift is attributable to business
considerations unrelated to increased
imports.
With regard to the affiliated facility
(TA–W–74,418), the worker separations
were attributable to a shift by the
workers’ firm of computer-aided design
(CAD) services to a foreign country. The
investigation confirmed that the shift of
CAD services was unrelated to the shift
in production in this case.
With respect to Section 222(c) of the
Act, the investigation revealed that
Criterion (2) has not been met because
the firm is not a Supplier or
Downstream Producer to a firm that
employed a worker group eligible to
apply for TAA.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner stated that ‘‘it has been the
intent of Husqvarna to gradually but
progressively move these jobs to another
country or countries * * * It has been
rumored that he (a line leader) has been
given the ultimatum to increase his
production or they would move this line
to Germany. In addition to this, it was
rumored that they had built a new
building in Germany * * * and that our
PZ line was already running in Germany
before our plant had closed.’’ In an
attachment to the request, another
worker stated that ‘‘we have reports that
some of our jobs have already been
moved to foreign soil and that more will
be in the future.’’
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.
