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 collection 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 Employment and
Training Administration is soliciting
comments concerning the new
collection of data on the ETA 9165,
Supplemental Budget Request
Activities. The new ETA 9165 will be
used by the National and regional
offices to monitor the progress of State
Workforce Agencies in successfully
implementing projects funded through
Supplemental Budget Requests. This
information will include the funded
project title and purpose, the project
timeline and milestones, and a narrative
description of the project
implementation status. It will also
include explanations of any delays in
implementation, proposals for
addressing any problems that caused the
delay and new project timelines if
applicable, a self-reported designation
of the implementation status (i.e.
complete/ahead of schedule/on
schedule/or behind schedule), and a
discussion of identified technical
assistance needs for the successful
completion of the project.
DATES: Submit written comments to the
office listed in the addresses section

contain information on activities funded
by the Employment and Training
Administration through Unemployment

program oversight and assessment,
actuarial and program research, and for
accounting to Congress and the public.

interested in comments which:

collection of information is necessary to
describe the quarterly status of funded
Supplemental Budget Request activities,
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 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.

Wind Clean Corporation; Coleman,

Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated March 10, 2014,
a Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
Coordinator requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s negative determination
regarding eligibility to apply for TAA
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
negative determination was issued on
February 24, 2014.
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 misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The request for reconsideration
asserts that because ‘‘Wind Clean
provides coating services to Trinity
Structural Towers in Coleman, Texas’’
and workers of Trinity Structural
Towers are eligible to apply for TAA,
Section 222(b) of the Trade Act, as
amended, has been met.
Section 222(b) of the Trade Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(b), requires that the
workers’ firm be a Supplier or
Downstream Producer (as the case may
be) to a firm that employed a worker
group eligible to apply for TAA under
Section 222(a) of the Trade Act and that
the supply or production (as the case
may be) is related to the article or
service that was the basis for the Section
222(a) certification.
Workers and former workers of
Trinity Structural Towers, Coleman,

After careful review of the application
and investigative findings, I conclude
that there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
facts which would justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.

Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., (MSD), a
Subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., West
Point, Pennsylvania; Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated March 10, 2014,
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The determination was issued on
February 18, 2014 and the Department’s
Notice of determination was published
in the Federal Register on March 14,
2014 (79 FR 14543). Workers at the
subject firm are engaged in activities
related to the production of
pharmaceuticals and vaccines for
human use.
The negative determination was based
on the Department’s findings that the
subject firm did not shift production of
pharmaceuticals and vaccines to a
foreign country (or acquire such
production from a foreign country) and
that imports of articles like or directly

competitive with the pharmaceuticals
and vaccines produced by the workers
did not increase during the period
under investigation.
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 misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The request for reconsideration
included information that indicates that
the determination was based on facts
not previously considered. The request
for reconsideration stated that the
worker group at the subject facility
consists of three separately identifiable
worker sub-groups (research and
development, manufacturing, and global
support networks), that the scope of the
initial investigation was ‘‘overly
narrow’’ because workers in the
research and development sub-group
and/or the global support networks subgroup ‘‘may be engaged in activities
totally separate and unrelated from’’
activities of the manufacturing subgroup. The request for reconsideration
included supporting documents.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for
reconsideration, including the
attachments, and the existing record,
and has determined that the Department
will conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act
of 1974, as amended.
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 8th day of
April, 2014.
