SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collection is required by
section 258 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1288.
The INA generally prohibits the
performance of longshore work by alien
crewmembers; however, the INA
provides an exception to this
prohibition for ports in the State of
Alaska. Under this Alaska exception,
before any employer may use alien
crewmembers to perform longshore
activities in the State of Alaska, it must
submit an attestation to the Secretary of
Labor containing the elements
prescribed by the INA at 8 U.S.C.
1288(d). The information provided on
Form ETA–933A by employers seeking
to use alien crewmembers to perform
longshore activities in the State of
Alaska permits the DOL to meet Federal
responsibilities for program
administration, management, and
oversight.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid OMB control number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The
DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under OMB
Control Number 1205–0352. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
September 30, 2011; however, it should
be noted that information collection
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional information, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register

Navistar Truck Development and
Technology Center, a Subsidiary of
Navistar International Corporation
Truck Division, Fort Wayne, IN; Notice
of Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated May 31, 2011, a
petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:41 Sep 22, 2011
Jkt 223001
and former workers of Navistar Truck
Development and Technology Center, a
Subsidiary of Navistar International
Corporation, Truck Division, Fort
Wayne, Indiana (subject firm). The
negative determination was issued on
April 13, 2011. The Department’s Notice
of Determination was published in the
Federal Register on May 2, 2011 (76 FR
24536). The workers are engaged in
activities related to the supply of truck
body engineering and design services.
The negative determination was based
on the findings that, with respect to
Section 222(a) of the Act, Criterion II
has not been met because imports of
engineering and design services have
not increased and there has not been a
shift of engineering and design services
by the workers’ firm to a foreign
country. Further, Criterion III has not
been met because the worker
separations are not attributable to
increased imports or a shift of services
to a foreign country. Rather, the
investigation confirmed that the worker
separations are attributable to a
consolidation and shift of engineering
and design services to another facility
located within the United States.
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 with a
TAA-certified worker group.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner stated that ‘‘Navistar has not
only increased the amount of work that
they outsource, they have increased the
number of countries that they outsource
that work to.’’ The petitioner referenced
multiple attachments and stated that the
subject firm has joint ventures with
China, India, Brazil, and Europe. The
petitioner also stated that ‘‘This chart
shows Fort Wayne employees doing
export work under the heading of
Mexico, Brazil, and Export Engineering
* * *. The work is now clearly
outsourced to India, Brazil, and China
according to the organizational chart.’’
The petitioner also referenced an
attachment and stated ‘‘two job postings
for Chief Engineers to work in China to
oversee Engineering and Design work.’’
The petitioner also referenced an
attachment and stated ‘‘shows new work
being sent to a Company in Romania
* * * shows the name of the on-site
coordinator, whose primary
responsibility is to prepare and send
work via the internet for his
counterparts in Romania to perform
* * * shows a listing of work that has
been transferred to Romania for
completion.’’ The petitioner also
referenced an attachment and stated
PO 00000
Frm 00058

‘‘shows the increasing amount of work
being sent to Brazil.’’
The petitioner also referenced an
attachment and stated ‘‘shows an email
with an employee break down of the
increase in the amount of work being
sent to India from a single department.
This department sent out 4 jobs to India
in 2010, and has already sent nine jobs
to India in the first four months of
2011.’’ The petitioner also referenced an
attachment and stated ‘‘details how IT
Services group was partially replaced by
a call center/support staff in India.’’
The petitioner also referenced an
attachment and stated ‘‘Navistar
answered the Community’s questions
about their intentions for the property
they were acquiring for the move. * * *
This is a headcount reduction across the
nation, made possible by the Global
Outsourcing. * * * ’’ The petitioner also
referenced an attachment and stated
‘‘Earlier Exhibits detailed that these
countries are doing their own
engineering and development work,
they not simply ‘points of sale.’. ’’
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.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the U.S. Department
of Labor’s prior decision. The
application is, therefore, granted.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of
September, 2011.

Assistance.
