The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Public Law 112– 96, compels States to perform random audits of the work search requirements for all claimants in the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Program of 2008. In addition to the random audits, the collection of data documenting State audit activities and results is required. This information collection is necessary for oversight of the program and is also authorized under Social Security Act section 303(a)(6), 42 U.S.C. 503(a)(6). 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1205–0495. The current approval is scheduled to expire on November 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.

The workers are engaged in activities related to the production of expanded polystyrene shape molded parts (packaging and internal components for side-by-side refrigerators). The worker group does not include any on-site leased workers. Workers of the subject firm was previously certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under TA–W–73,292 (certification expired on May 24, 2012). Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or proportion of the workers in the subject firm have become totally or partially separated, or are threatened with such separation. Based on information provided during the reconsideration investigation, the Department determines that worker separations at the subject firm are related to a shift in production of expanded polystyrene shape molded parts (or like or directly competitive articles) to a foreign country and that the shift in production contributed importantly to worker separations at the subject firm. Conclusion After careful review of the additional facts obtained during the reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of Huntington Foam LLC, Fort Smith, Arkansas, who were engaged in employment related to the production of expanded polystyrene shape molded parts, meet the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273, I make the following certification: All workers of Huntington Foam LLC, Fort Smith, Arkansas who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after May 25, 2012, through two years from the date of certification, and all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation from employment on the date of certification through two years from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for E:\FR\FM\03DEN1.SGM 03DEN1

validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
