ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Sections 3302(c)(2)(A) and
3302(d)(3) of the FUTA provide that
employers in a State that has an
outstanding balance of advances under
Title XII of the Social Security Act at the
beginning of January 1 of two or more
consecutive years are subject to a
reduction in credits otherwise available
against the FUTA tax for the calendar
year in which the most recent such
January 1 occurs, if a balance of
advances remains at the beginning of
November 10 of that year. Further,
section 3302(c)(2)(C) of FUTA provides
for an additional credit reduction for a
year if a State has outstanding advances
on five or more consecutive January
firsts and has a balance at the beginning
of November 10 for such years. Section
3302(c)(2)(C) also provides for waiver of
this additional credit reduction and
substitution of the credit reduction
provided in section 3302(c)(2)(B) if a
state meets certain conditions.

The States of California, Connecticut,
Indiana, Kentucky, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, and the
Virgin Islands passed January 1, 2015,
with outstanding Title XII advances and
were potentially subject to FUTA credit
reductions.
California, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio,
and the Virgin Islands applied for a
waiver of the 2015 additional credit
reduction under section 3302(c)(2)(C) of
FUTA and it has been determined that
each of these States met all of the
criteria of that section necessary to
qualify for the waiver of the additional
credit reduction. Further, the additional
credit reduction of section 3302(c)(2)(B)
is zero for these States for 2015.
Therefore, employers in these States
will have no additional credit reduction
applied for calendar year 2015.
Also, Section 3302(f) of FUTA
provides that a State may apply for a
cap in the reduction in credit for a year
by meeting certain criteria. Kentucky
applied for the cap of the 2015 credit
reduction under this section. It has been
determined that Kentucky met all of the
criteria of section 3302(f) and thus
qualifies for a cap on the credit
reduction. Therefore, Kentucky
employers would not be subject to an
increase in FUTA credit reductions for
calendar year 2015.
The States of Indiana, Kentucky, New
York, North Carolina, and South
Carolina repaid all of their outstanding
advance balances before the beginning
of November 10, 2015. Therefore,
employers in those States will have no
reduction in FUTA offset credit for
calendar year 2015.
California, Ohio, and the Virgin
Islands will have a credit reduction of
1.5%, and Connecticut will have a
credit reduction of 2.1%, which is the
1.5% plus a 0.6% fifth year add-on
amount for calendar year 2015.

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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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.

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.
