SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the cotton dust standard and
its information collection requirements
is to provide protection for employees
from the adverse health effects
associated with occupational exposure
to cotton dust. Employers must monitor
employee exposure, reduce employee
exposure to within permissible
exposure limits, provide employees
with medical examinations and training,
and establish and maintain employee
exposure monitoring and medical
records.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
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 1218–0061. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
February 29, 2012; however, it should
be noted that 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 on October 5, 2011 (76 FR
61752).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1218–
0061. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• 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.

Era Systems, LLC, Formerly Era
Systems Corporation, a Subsidiary of
Systems Research and Applications
Corporation, Syracuse, NY; Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated February 2,
2012, a worker requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers
and former workers of Era Systems,
LLC, formerly Era Systems Corporation,
a subsidiary of Systems Research and
Applications Corporation, Syracuse,
New York (hereafter referred to as ‘‘Era
Systems, LLC’’ or ‘‘the subject firm’’).
The determination was issued on
January 13, 2012 and the Department’s
Notice of determination will soon be
published in the Federal Register.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
findings that imports of services like or
directly competitive with the services
supplied by the firm have not increased;
there has not been a shift to a foreign
country of services like or directly
competitive with the research and
development services supplied by the
firm; and there has not been an
acquisition from a foreign country of
services like or directly competitive
with the research and development
services supplied by the firm. The
investigation also revealed that Era
Systems, LLC is not a Supplier or
Downstream Producer to a firm that
employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. 2272(a).
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner supplied new information
regarding a possible shift to/acquisition

28FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 2012 / Notices
from a foreign country by the subject
firm in the supply of services.
The Department of Labor 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 workers meet the
eligibility requirements to apply for
TAA.
CDIY Division of Stanley Black and
Decker, McAllen, Texas.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
the subject firm who were adversely
affected by a shift in services to China,
Taiwan and Poland.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–74,892 is hereby issued as
follows:
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.
All workers of Stanley Black and Decker,
CDIT Division, Warranty Evaluation Center
(WEC), including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, McAllen, Texas, who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 8, 2009,
through January 18, 2013, 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.

should read Stanley Black and Decker,

determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of

Based on these findings, the

certification to include workers leased
from Adecco working on-site at the
