Re-Publication of Notice of Lodging of

On July 23, 2013, the Department of

the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Illinois in the
lawsuit entitled United States et al v.
Lafarge North America et al, Civil
Action No. 3:10–cv–44. Notice of
lodging of the Proposed Third
Amendment to the Consent Decree was
first published in the Federal Register
on July 26, 2013 (78 FR 45,272). We are
re-publishing this notice to correct a
typographical error in the Internet Web

Amendment can be accessed

Following public notice and
opportunity for public comment, on
March 18, 2010 the Court entered a
Consent Decree resolving certain
violations of the federal Clean Air Act,

Department of Health and
Environmental Control, the Washington

Agency (collectively, ‘‘State Plaintiffs’’).
The Court amended the Consent Decree
on April 28, 2011 and again on October
4, 2012.
The United States, the State of New
York, and the Lafarge Companies have
agreed to further amend the Consent
Decree to provide the Lafarge
Companies with an extension of time of
until July 1, 2016 to complete
construction of a replacement kiln at the
Ravena, New York cement plant in
return for commitments by the Lafarge
Companies set forth in the proposed
Third Amendment to the Consent
Decree. In general, those commitments
by the Lafarge Companies are that
beginning on January 1, 2013, the
Lafarge Companies shall comply with
stringent emission caps, specified
herein, for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Occupational Employment Statistics
(OES) survey is a Federal/State
establishment survey of wage and salary
workers designed to produce data on
current detailed occupational
employment and wages for each
Metropolitan Statistical Area and
Metropolitan Division as well as by
detailed industry classification. OES
survey data assist in the development of
employment and training programs
established by the Perkins Vocational
Education Act of 1998 and the
Workforce Investment Act of 1998. This
ICR has been classified as a revision,
because the OES Response Analysis
Survey has been completed, allowing
for its removal from the ICR, and a
reduction in the OES sample as a result
of the elimination of the Green Goods
and Services survey.

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 that 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 1220–0042. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2013; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
New requirements would only take
effect upon OMB approval. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 20, 2013 (78 FR 29382).
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 Control Number 1220–
0042. 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.

ICG Knott County, LLC, a Subsidiary of
ICG, Inc., a Subsidiary of Arch Coal,
Inc.; Including On-Site Leased Workers
From P&P Construction; Kite,
Kentucky; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On May 16, 2013, the Department of
Labor issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of ICG Knott County,
LLC, a subsidiary of ICG, Inc., a
subsidiary of Arch Coal, Inc., Kite,
Kentucky (subject firm). The
Department’s Notice was published in
the Federal Register on May 30, 2013
(78 FR 32463). The workers are engaged
in employment related to the
production of bituminous coal. The
subject firm includes on-site leased
workers of P&P Construction.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c),
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
findings that worker separations were
not attributable to increased imports of
bituminous coal (or articles like or
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

directly competitive), by the subject
firm or its declining customers, or a
shift/acquisition of the production of
bituminous coal (or articles like or
directly competitive) to/from a foreign
country by the workers’ firm during the
time period under investigation (2011
and 2012).
In the request for reconsideration, a
former worker alleged that workers at
the subject firm were impacted by the
operations of the parent company, Arch
Coal, Inc., and the purchasing patterns
of its customers. The former worker also
alleged that the increased use of natural
gas instead of bituminous coal by
customers of the subject firm and
customers of the parent company led to
production declines and worker
separations at the subject firm.
Further, according to the allegation,
the customers that the subject firm
previously supplied with bituminous
coal switched to gas for their energy use
because the two products are directly
competitive. Therefore, the former
worker requested that the Department
expand the reconsideration
investigation to examine the operations
of the parent company and to evaluate
imports of natural gas.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department reviewed
and confirmed information collected
during the initial investigation,
collected additional information from
the subject firm and its major customers,
and collected and analyzed natural gas
data from the U.S. Energy Information
Administration and the U.S. Department
of Energy.
The reconsideration investigation
findings confirmed that neither the
subject firm nor its major customers
imported articles like or directly
competitive with bituminous coal
during the relevant period.
Additionally, the findings confirmed
that the subject firm did not shift the
production of bituminous coal to a
foreign country or acquire this article, or
any articles like or directly competitive,
from a foreign country during the period
under investigation. The findings of the
reconsideration investigation also
confirmed that Arch Coal, Inc. acquired
the subject firm during the period under
investigation but clarified that the
subject firm continued to operate
independently and retained its own
customer base following the acquisition.
During the initial investigation, the
Department conducted a customer
survey on the major customers of the
subject firm. The surveyed customers
reported no imports of bituminous coal
or articles like or directly competitive.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department contacted
