[FR Doc. 2013–04258 Filed 2–22–13; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Office of Labor-Management Standards Extension of Information Collection; Comment Request ACTION: Notice. The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) of the Department of Labor (Department) is soliciting comments concerning the proposed extension of the collection of information requirements implementing Executive Order (E.O.) 13496: Notification of Employee Rights Under Federal Labor Laws. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the office listed below in the addresses section of this Notice. SUMMARY: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the addresses section below on or before April 26, 2013. ADDRESSES: Andrew R. Davis, Chief of the Division of Interpretations and Standards, Office of Labor-Management Standards, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Room N– 5609, Washington, DC 20210, olms- mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES DATES: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:22 Feb 22, 2013 Jkt 229001 public@dol.gov, (202) 693–0123 (this is not a toll-free number), (800) 877–8339 (TTY/TDD). Please use only one method of transmission for comments (mail or Email). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13496 (E.O. 13496 on January 30, 2009, requiring certain Government contractors and subcontractors to post notices informing their employees of their rights as employees under Federal labor laws. The Order also provides the text of contractual provisions that Federal Government contracting departments and agencies must include in every Government contract, except for collective bargaining agreements and contracts for purchases under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. OLMS administers the enforcement provisions of Executive Order 13496, while the compliance evaluation and investigatory provisions are handled by the Department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), pursuant to the Order’s implementing regulatory provisions (29 CFR Part 471). Complaints can be filed with both agencies. II. Review Focus The Department is particularly interested in comments which: • 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 submissions of responses. III. Current Actions The Department seeks extension of the current approval to collect this information. An extension is necessary because if this information collection is not conducted, E.O. 13496 could not be PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 enforced through the complaint procedure. E.O. 13496 advances the Administration’s goal of promoting economy and efficiency of Federal government procurement by ensuring that workers employed in the private sector as a result of Federal government contracts are informed of their rights to engage in union activity and collective bargaining. Knowledge of such basic statutory rights promotes stable labormanagement relations, thus reducing costs to the Federal government. The contractual provisions require contractors and subcontractors to post a notice, created by the Secretary of Labor, informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. The notice also provides a statement of the policy of the United States to encourage collective bargaining, as well as a list of activities that are illegal under the Act. The notice concludes with a general description of the remedies to which employees may be entitled if these rights have been violated and contact information for further information about those rights and remedies, as well as enforcement procedures. The clause also requires contractors to include the same clause in their nonexempt subcontracts and purchase orders, and describes generally the sanctions, penalties, and remedies that may be imposed if the contractor fails to satisfy its obligations under the Order and the clause. The regulatory provisions implementing E.O. 13496 (29 CFR part 471) include the language of the required notices, and they explain posting and contractual requirements, the complaint process, the investigatory process, and sanctions, penalties, and remedies that may be imposed if the contractor or subcontractor fails to comply with its obligations under the Order. Specifically, 29 CFR part 471.11(c) sets forth the procedures that the Department must use when accepting written complaints alleging that a contractor doing business with the Federal government has failed to post the notice required by the Executive Order. Type of Review: Extension. Agency: Office of Labor-Management Standards. OMB Number: 1245–0004. Affected Public: Employees of Federal Contractors and Subcontractors. Total Respondents: 25.

component parts produced by such firm have increased;
(D) Imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles
which are produced directly using services supplied by such firm, have
increased; and
(4) The increase in imports contributed importantly to such

sales or production of such firm; or
II. Section 222(a)(2)(B) all of the following must be satisfied:

supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2) accounted for at least
20 percent of the production or sales of the workers' firm; or

in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

for worker adjustment assistance, each of the group eligibility
requirements of Section 222(f) of the Act must be 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
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.

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

[[Page 12798]]

I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were
issued during the period of February 11, 2013 through February 19,
2013. 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.

Dated: February 19, 2013.
