This ICR covers the refuge alternatives portion of emergency response plans and records for training, examination, maintenance, and repair of refuge alternatives and components. This ICR has been classified as a revision under the PRA merely to acknowledge administrative decisions to transfer burden for some information collection requirements to other OMB Control Numbers. The agency has made no changes to the actual requirements. 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 Control Number 1219–0146. The current OMB approval is scheduled to expire on April 30, 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 January 31, 2012 (77 FR 4834). 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 1219– 0146. 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:44 Apr 26, 2012 Jkt 226001 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.

Negative Determinations for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In the following cases, the investigation revealed that the
eligibility criteria for worker adjustment assistance have not been met
for the reasons specified.
The investigation revealed that the criteria under paragraphs
(a)(2)(A) (increased imports) and (a)(2)(B) (shift in production or
services to a foreign country) of section 222 have not been met.

Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance

After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these
petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
in cases where these petitions were not filed in accordance with the
requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every petition filed by workers must be
signed by at least three individuals of the petitioning worker group.
Petitioners separated more than one year prior to the date of the
petition cannot be covered under a certification of a petition under
Section 223(b), and therefore, may not be part of a petitioning worker
group. For one or more of these reasons, these petitions were deemed
invalid.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitions are the subject of ongoing investigations under
petitions filed earlier covering the same petitioners.

I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were
issued during the period of April 9, 2012 through April 13, 2012.
These determinations are available on the Department's Web site
tradeact/taa/taa search form.cfm. under the searchable listing of
determinations or by calling the Office of Trade Adjustment
Assistance toll free at 888-365-6822.
