The company reported that the workers from REC Advanced Silicon Materials, LLC, including on-site leased workers from Spherion Recruiting and Staffing, Silver Bow, Montana (TA–W– 82,458A) have been separated or threatened with separation due to the same conditions that led to certification of the workers at the Moses Lake, Washington facility.

This list is also posted on the OMB Web site at https:// www.whitehouse.gov/omb. The list of the ‘‘Federal Entities’’ has been updated to reflect: (1) The reestablishment of the Administrative Conference of the United States in March 2010 (ACUS had not received funding between 1995 and 2009); (2) the establishment of the Financial Stability Oversight Council in Public Law 111– 203 (Section 111); (3)the establishment of the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council in Public Law 112–141 (Section 1603); and (4) the establishment of the Valles Caldera Trust in Public Law 106– 248.

In addition, Public Law 111–203 amended Section 8G(a)(4), which is the provision of the IG Act that defines the term ‘‘head of the designated Federal entity.’’ As an initial matter, Congress amended the introductory text of Section 8G(a)(4) to state that—in the case of boards and commissions—‘‘the term ‘head of the designated Federal entity’ means the board or commission of the designated Federal entity.’’ As a result of this amendment, Section 8G(a)(4) sets forth three main categories of ‘‘designated Federal entities’’ with respect to who is the ‘‘head’’ of the entity: the term ‘‘head of the designated Federal entity’’ means (1) ‘‘the board or commission of the designated Federal entity’’; (2) ‘‘in the event the designated Federal entity does not have a board or commission, any person or persons designated by statute as the head of a designated Federal entity’’; and (3) ‘‘if no such designation exists, the chief policymaking officer or board of a designated Federal entity as identified in the list published pursuant to subsection (h)(1) of this section, except that . . .’’ In addition, Public Law 111–203 amended Section 8G(a)(4) to include six additional entity-specific exceptions to those general rules; in these exceptions, Congress specifies who is the ‘‘head of the designated Federal entity’’ for each of those entities.

The list below is divided into two groups: Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities. Designated Federal Entities are listed in the IG Act, except for those agencies that have ceased to exist or that have been deleted from the list. The Designated Federal Entities are required to establish and maintain PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Offices of Inspector General to: (1) Conduct and supervise audits and investigations relating to programs and operations; (2) promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of, and to prevent and detect fraud and abuse in such programs and operations; and (3) provide a means of keeping the entity head and the Congress fully and currently informed about problems and deficiencies relating to the administration of such programs and operations and the necessity for, and progress of, corrective actions. Section 8G(a)(1) of the IG Act defines a ‘‘Federal entity’’ as: any Government corporation (within the meaning of section 103 (1) of title 5, United States Code), any Government controlled corporation (within the meaning of section 103 (2) of such title), or any other entity in the Executive Branch of the Government, or any independent regulatory agency, but does not include: (1) An establishment (as defined in section 11(2) of this Act or part of an establishment; (2) a designated Federal entity [as defined in section 8G(a)(2) of the Act] or part of a designated Federal entity; (3) the Executive Office of the President; (4) the Central Intelligence Agency; (5) the Government Accountability Office; or (6) any entity in the judicial or legislative branches of the Government, including the Administrative Office of the United States Courts and the Architect of the Capitol and any activities under the direction of the Architect of the Capitol.

The following certifications have been issued. The requirements of
Section 222(c) (supplier to a firm whose workers are certified eligible
to apply for TAA) of the Trade Act have been met.

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 criterion under paragraph
(a)(1), or (b)(1), or (c)(1) (employment decline or threat of
separation) of section 222 has not been met.

The investigation revealed that the criteria under paragraphs
(a)(2)(A)(i) (decline in sales or production, or both) and (a)(2)(B)
(shift in production or services to a foreign country) of section 222
have not been met.

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 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.

I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were issued
during the period of December 9, 2013 through December 13, 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.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 23rd day of December 2013.
Michael W. Jaffe,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
