The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (``PBGC'') has received a request from the Service Employees International Union Local 1 Pension Trust Fund for approval of a plan amendment providing for special withdrawal liability rules. Under section 4203(f) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the PBGC's regulation on Extension of Special Withdrawal Liability Rules, a multiemployer pension plan may, with PBGC approval, be amended to provide for special withdrawal liability rules similar to those that apply to the construction and entertainment industries. Such approval is granted only if the PBGC determines that the plan amendment will be used in an industry with characteristics that would make use of the special rules appropriate and that the plan amendment would not pose a significant risk to the PBGC. This notice advises interested persons of the pendency of this request and invites public comment.

Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has determined not to review an initial determination (``ID'') (Order No. 53) of the presiding administrative law judge (``ALJ'') granting complainant's motion to amend the complaint and the notice of investigation.

As part of the Commission's systematic review of all current FTC rules and guides, the Commission requests public comment on the overall costs, benefits, necessity, and regulatory and economic impact of the FTC's rule for ``Automotive Fuel Ratings, Certification and Posting'' (``Fuel Rating Rule'' or ``Rule'').

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (``EEOC'' or ``Commission'') is issuing a proposed rule that would implement Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (``GINA''). Congress enacted Title II of GINA to protect job applicants, current and former employees, labor union members, and apprentices and trainees from discrimination based on their genetic information. Title II of GINA requires the EEOC to issue implementing regulations. The Commission is proposing these rules under that authority to provide all persons subject to Title II of GINA additional guidance with regard to the law's requirements. The Commission invites written comments from members of the public on these proposed rules and on any specific issues related to this proposal.
