SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The NAWS is an employment-based,
annual survey of the demographic,
employment, and health characteristics
of hired crop farm workers, including
workers brought to farms by labor
intermediaries. The survey began in
1988. Each year, between 1,500 and
3,500 workers are randomly chosen for
an interview. Interviews are conducted
three times per year to account for the
seasonality of agricultural employment.
Several Federal agencies utilize the
NAWS to collect information on the
population of hired crop farm workers.
ETA is seeking approval to add new
questions to the NAWS on farm
workers’ participation in education and
training programs, access to and use of
digital information devices, utilization
of acute, preventive, and dental health
care, location of living quarters in
PO 00000

relation to production agriculture, and
type of housing. Proposed changes also
include: (1) Temporarily discontinuing
questions on occupational injuries,
musculoskeletal problems, and potential
exposure to pesticides, all of which
were administered for two years and
have fulfilled the current information
needs of the sponsoring Federal
agencies; (2) deleting 17 other questions
that either had too few responses to be
useful for analysis, will be redundant
with the addition of proposed questions,
or are no longer valid; and (3) modifying
the stem and/or response options of six
questions to make them more useful.
II. Review Focus
The Department 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
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.

Amended Certification Regarding
Eligibility To Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance and Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and
section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26
U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on June 21, 2013 applicable
to workers and former workers of
Simpson Lumber Company LLC, John’s
Prairie Operations Division, Shelton,
Washington. Workers of the subject firm
are engaged in activities related to the
production of softwood dimensional
lumber.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers at
the subject firm who were adversely
affected by increased imports of
softwood dimensional lumber.
The Department has determined that
Sawmill and Mill #5 (located at 100
North Front Street and 3851 West
Martine Road, respectively) operated in
conjunction with the John’s Prairie
Operations Division, and that the
workers groups are impacted by
increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with the softwood
dimensional lumber produced at the
subject firm.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include workers of
Simpson Lumber Company LLC,
Sawmill and Mill #5, Shelton,
Washington.
