Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Fire Brigades Standard information
collection codified in regulations 29
CFR 1910.156, which requires each
covered employer establishing a fire
brigade to write an organizational
statement, to ascertain the fitness of
workers with specific medical
conditions to participate in fire related
operations, and to provide appropriate
training and information to fire brigade
members. Occupational Safety and
Health Act sections 2 and 8 authorize
this information collection. See 29
U.S.C. 651, 657.
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 1218–0075.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
August 31, 2014. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 23, 2014 (79 FR 29803).

section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1218–0075. 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.

6, 2012 in response to a petition for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
filed by the State of Wisconsin on behalf
of workers of Plexus Corporation,
Neenah Operations, including on-site
leased workers of Kelly Services, Inc.,
Neenah, Wisconsin (Plexus-Neenah).
The petition states ‘‘Plexus has factories
in Malaysia, China, Mexico, and
Europe.’’ The subject workers are
engaged in activities related to the
production of printed circuit boards.
During the investigation, the
Department received information from
the subject firm confirming a shift of
production by the subject firm of an
article like or directly competitive with
the printed circuit boards produced by
the workers from Neenah, Wisconsin to
a foreign country.
Based on information obtained during
the investigation, the Department
determined that Sections 222(a)(1) and
222(a)(2)(B) of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a), have been
met and issued on April 5, 2013 a
certification of eligibility to apply for
TAA applicable to workers and former
workers of Plexus-Neenah, which states
‘‘the workers’ firm has shifted to a
foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with
the article produced by the workers
which contributed importantly’’ to
worker separations at Plexus-Neenah.
On January 29, 2014, the Department
issued an amended certification of
eligibility to apply for TAA applicable
to leased workers of Aerotek and Gold
Star Solutions, Inc. working on-site at
Plexus-Neenah.
In a July 24, 2014 press release
(‘‘Plexus Commitment to Wisconsin’’),
Plexus Corporation stated:
Dated: August 18, 2014.
Michel Smyth,
Departmental Clearance Officer.
In 2012, Plexus experienced a disruptive
event when our largest customer at the time,
which represented approximately 16% of
Plexus’ global revenue, unexpectedly
announced its decision to disengage from
Plexus. This customer disengagement
represented a significant challenge for the
Company and unfortunately resulted in the
loss of jobs in Wisconsin. These jobs were
not moved to Plexus locations outside the
U.S. but instead were lost from Plexus
altogether as the result of the customer’s
decision to move its programs to our
competitors’ locations outside the U.S. While
the significant customer disengagement was
a challenging event for us, we have regained
many of the jobs that were lost in 2012 and
2013 and are back on a path of growth in
Neenah, Wisconsin.

Plexus Corporation; Neenah Operations; Including On-Site Leased
Workers From Kelly Services, Inc., Aerotek and Gold Star Solutions,
Inc. Neenah, Wisconsin; Notice of Initiation of Investigation To
Terminate Certification of Eligibility
Pursuant to section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, an
investigation was initiated on December 6, 2012 in response to a
petition for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) filed by the State of
Wisconsin on behalf of workers of Plexus Corporation, Neenah
Operations, including on-site leased workers of Kelly Services, Inc.,
Neenah, Wisconsin (Plexus-Neenah). The petition states ``Plexus has
factories in Malaysia, China, Mexico, and Europe.'' The subject workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of printed circuit
boards. During the investigation, the Department received information
from the subject firm confirming a shift of production by the subject
firm of an article like or directly competitive with the printed
circuit boards produced by the workers from Neenah, Wisconsin to a

Based on information obtained during the investigation, the
Department determined that Sections 222(a)(1) and 222(a)(2)(B) of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a), have been met and
issued on April 5, 2013 a certification of eligibility to apply for TAA
applicable to workers and former workers of Plexus-Neenah, which states
``the workers' firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of
an article like or directly competitive with the article produced by
the workers which contributed importantly'' to worker separations at
Plexus-Neenah.
On January 29, 2014, the Department issued an amended certification
of eligibility to apply for TAA applicable to leased workers of Aerotek
