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that the petition be withdrawn.
85,143, Fives Giddings & Lewis, LLC,
Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin.
85,179, Fifty Third Bancorp, Cincinnati,
Ohio.
The following determinations
terminating investigations were issued
in cases where these petitions were not
filed in accordance with the
requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every
petition filed by workers must be signed
by at least three individuals of the
PO 00000
Frm 00062

petitioning worker group. Petitioners
separated more than one year prior to
the date of the petition cannot be
covered under a certification of a
petition under Section 223(b), and
therefore, may not be part of a
petitioning worker group. For one or
more of these reasons, these petitions
were deemed invalid.
85,207, Lifetouch Inc., Eden Prairie,
Minnesota.
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.
85,142, JP Morgan Chase and Company,
Florence, South Carolina.
85,164, JP Morgan Chase and Company,
Florence, South Carolina.
85,201, JP Morgan Chase and Company,
Florence, South Carolina.
85,202, JP Morgan Chase and Company,
Florence, South Carolina.
The following determinations
terminating investigations were issued
because the petitions are the subject of
ongoing investigations under petitions
filed earlier covering the same
petitioners.
85,255, Citigroup, Tampa, Florida.
I hereby certify that the
aforementioned determinations were
issued during the period of April 28,
2014 through May 2, 2014. These
determinations are available on the
Department’s Web site tradeact/taa/taa_

conducts a pre-clearance 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 Workers’ Compensation Programs is
soliciting comments concerning the
proposed collection: Miner’s Claim for
Benefits under the Black Lung Benefit’s
Act (CM–911) and Employment History
(CM–911A). A copy of the proposed
information collection request can be
obtained by contacting the office listed
below in the ADDRESSES section of this
Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section below on or before
July 21, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Division of Coal
Mine Workers’ Compensation
administers the Black Lung Benefits Act
(30 U.S.C. 901 et seq.) which provides
benefits to coal miners totally disabled
due to pneumoniosis, and their
surviving dependents. A miner who
applies for black lung benefits must
complete the CM–911 (application
form). The completed form gives basic
identifying information about the
applicant and is the beginning of the
development of the black lung claim.
The applicant must complete a CM–
911a at the same time the black lung
application form is submitted. This form
when completed renders a complete
history of employment and helps to
establish if the miner currently or
formerly worked in the nation’s coal
mines. The person filing for benefits
must have worked in the nation’s coal
mines or be a survivor of a coal miner
as described under Title IV of the
Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of
1977, as amended, in order for benefits
to be pursued. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through October 31, 2014.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor 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
Time to
complete
Form
Frequency of response
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
of Labor seeks the approval for the
extension of this currently-approved
information collection in order to carry
out its responsibility to administer the
Black Lung Benefits Act.
Agency: Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs.
