collection request (ICR) proposal titled,
‘‘2012 Wage and Hour Division and
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration Surveys Workers’ Voice
in the Workplace,’’ to the Office of

3501 et seq.).
DATES: Submit comments on or before
June 7, 2012.
ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with
applicable supporting documentation;
including a description of the likely
respondents, proposed frequency of
response, and estimated total burden
may be obtained from the RegInfo.gov
Web site, https://www.reginfo.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2012
Wage and Hour Division (WHD) and
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) surveys
Workers’ Voice in the Workplace will
gauge the current level of workers’ voice
in the workplace and factors affecting
workers’ voice as it relates to WHD and
OSHA administered laws. Voice in the
workplace is a key outcome goal for the
Secretary of Labor and part of her vision
of good jobs for everyone. The DOL
working definition of voice in the

workplace is the worker’s ability to
access information on his or her rights
in the workplace, the worker’s
understanding of those rights, and the
worker’s ability to exercise those rights
without fear of recrimination. The
surveys will measure each of these
items, first individually and then in
combination, to come up with an overall
measure of voice. The DOL also hopes
to learn how voice is related to workers’
perceptions of employer
noncompliance, such as whether or not
particular dimensions of voice correlate
to workers’ perceptions of
noncompliance. The study will also be
useful in examining how
noncompliance in one area, such as
safety, is related to voice in the
workplace and noncompliance in
another area, such as wages.
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. For
additional information, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register
on December 12, 2011.
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
mention OMB ICR Reference Number
201203–1235–001. 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

II–VI, Incorporated, Infrared Optics—
Saxonburg Division, Saxonburg,
Pennsylvania; Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated February 21,
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 II–VI,
Incorporated, Infrared Optics—
Saxonburg Division, Saxonburg,
Pennsylvania (subject firm). The
determination was issued on February
8, 2012. The Department’s Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register on February 14, 2012
(77 FR 8281). The workers were engaged
in employment related to the
production of infrared and CO2 laser
optics, and related materials.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
findings that the subject firm has not
experienced a decline in the sales or
production of infrared and CO2 laser
optics, and related materials, from 2009
to 2010 or from January–October 2010
compared to the same period in 2011.

Fmt 4703

With respect to Section 222(a)(2)(B) of
the Act, the investigation revealed that
the workers’ firm did not shift
production of infrared and CO2 laser
optics, and related materials (or like or
directly competitive articles) to a foreign
country, or acquire the production of
such articles from a foreign country.
With respect to Section 222(b)(2) of
the Act, the investigation revealed that
the subject firm is a Supplier 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); however, the component
parts supplied did not account for at
least 20 percent of the production or
sales or contribute importantly to
workers’ separation or threat thereof.
With respect to Section 222(b)(2) of
the Act, the investigation revealed that
the subject firm does not act as a
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).
Finally, the group eligibility
requirements under Section 222(e) of
the Act have not been satisfied because
the workers’ firm has not been publicly
identified by the International Trade
Commission as a member of a domestic
industry in an investigation resulting in
an affirmative finding of serious injury,
market disruption, or material injury, or
threat thereof.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner supplied new information
regarding a possible decline in sales
during the relevant period under
investigation.
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.
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 27th day of
March, 2012.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment
Assistance.
