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that the petition be withdrawn.
85,883, Schlumberger, Anchorage,
Alaska.
85,917, CP Medical Inc., Portland,
Oregon.
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 Department issued a
negative determination on petitions
related to the relevant investigation
period applicable to the same worker
group. The duplicative petitions did not
present new information or a change in
circumstances that would result in a
reversal of the Department’s previous
negative determination, and therefore,
further investigation would duplicate
efforts and serve no purpose.

In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (‘‘Act’’),
19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor
issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment

including on-site leased workers from

Management, Houston, Texas. The
workers were engaged in activities
related to the production of server
cabinets and parts.
At the request of a state workforce
official to clarify the worker group, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
company reports that the leased worker
agency, Staff Management, is a
subsidiary of Seaton, LLC.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased
from Staff Management (a subsidiary of
Seaton, LLC) working on-site at the
Houston, Texas location of HewlettPackard Co., HP Enterprise Group,
Americas Supply Chain Houston
Manufacturing.

Levi Strauss & Company Eugene,
Oregon; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On March 10, 2015, the Department of
Labor issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of Levi Strauss and
Company, Eugene, Oregon. The notice
was published in the Federal Register
on March 31, 2015 (80 FR 17080).
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 initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on
findings that the worker separations at
Levi Strauss & Co., Eugene, Oregon are
not attributable to increased imports of
articles or a shift in production of
articles to a foreign country. The
investigation also confirmed that the
subject firm is not a Supplier or
Downstream Producer.
The request for reconsideration
asserts that the workers perform
E:\FR\FM\28MYN1.SGM
28MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 102 / Thursday, May 28, 2015 / Notices
production forecasting activities and
order management support of Levi
Strauss’ production of clothing and
apparel. The reconsideration
application concludes that both
activities drive production and has been
shifted to a foreign country.
Information obtained during the
investigation confirmed that Levi
Strauss & Co. does not produce articles
within the United States. The
investigation confirmed that all
production of articles for the Levi
Strauss & Co. brand is done by another
firm not covered under the definition of
a ‘‘firm’’ in 29 CFR 90.2.
Therefore, after careful review of the
request for reconsideration, the
Department determines that 29 CFR
90.18(c) has not been met.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that
the requirements of Section 222 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272, have not been met
and, therefore, deny the petition for
group eligibility of Levi Strauss &
Company, Eugene, Oregon, to apply for
adjustment assistance, in accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
2273.

Notice.
On May 29, 2015, the
Department of Labor (DOL) will submit
the Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) sponsored
information collection request (ICR)
titled, ‘‘YouthBuild Reporting System,’’
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval for
continued use, without change, in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq. Public comments on the

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:18 May 27, 2015
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
YouthBuild Reporting System
information collection. YouthBuild
grantees collect and report selected
standardized information pertaining to
customers in YouthBuild programs for
general program oversight, evaluation,
and performance assessment purposes.
The ETA provides all grantees with a
YouthBuild management information
system to use for collecting participant
data and for preparing and submitting
the required quarterly reports.
YouthBuild Transfer Act section
2(c)(4)(L) and Workforce Investment Act
sections 185(d) and 189(d) authorize
this information collection. See 29
U.S.C. 2918a.(2)(c)(4)(L), 2935(d),
2939(d).
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,
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Jkt 235001
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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 1205–0464.
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
May 31, 2015. 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
March 26, 2015 (80 FR 16209).
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 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
1205–0464. 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.
Agency: DOL–ETA.
Title of Collection: YouthBuild
Reporting System.
OMB Control Number: 1205–0464.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households and Private Sector—not-forprofit institutions.

Respondents: 7,225.

Levi Strauss & Company Eugene, Oregon; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On March 10, 2015, the Department of Labor issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers
and former workers of Levi Strauss and Company, Eugene, Oregon. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on March 31, 2015 (80 FR

Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c), reconsideration may be granted under
