products (shipped/received) shipping, 

receiving, customer service.’’ The 

petition also states that ‘‘production, 

shipping/receiving, customer service, is 

being done at a facility in UK.’’ In an 

attachment to the petition, the 

petitioners stated that ‘‘(since 2006) the 

company has had to shift production 

* * * the (grinding) department 

suffered from cheaper imports * * * 

has shut down permanently . * * *’’ 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that a shift of production by the 

subject firm to Canada in 2006 did not 

contribute importantly to workers’ 

separations because, during the period 

of the investigation, the subject firm did 

not produce an article. Rather, the 

subject firm supplied storage services 

for other subsidiaries of AMG (the 

parent company) and those storage 

services were shifted to an affiliate 

domestic facility. Further, the subject 

firm did not, during the relevant period, 

increased imports of services like or 

directly competitive with the storage 

services supplied by the workers. In 

addition, the subject firm did not supply 

services to a firm that both employed a 

worker group that employed a worker 

group eligible to apply for Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and used 

the services supplied by the subject firm 

in the production of an article or the 

supply of the service that was the basis 

for the TAA certification. 

In the request for reconsideration, a 

former worker of the subject firm 

reiterated that the subject firm shifted 

operations to various facilities 

throughout the United States, as well as 

Canada, Brazil, England, and Mexico. 

Information obtained during the 

reconsideration investigation confirmed 

that, during the relevant period, workers 

at the subject firm were engaged in 

activities related to the supply of storage 

and shipment services, which consist of 

receiving finished products from related 

companies and shipping these products 

to customers. Information obtained 

during the reconsideration investigation 

also confirmed that, during the relevant 

period, the workers’ firm neither shifted 

to a foreign country the supply of 

services like or directly competitive 

with the services supplied by the 

subject workers, nor acquired from a 

foreign country services like or directly 

competitive with those supplied by the 

subject workers. 

Conclusion 

After reconsideration, I affirm the 

original notice of negative 

determination of eligibility to apply for 

worker adjustment assistance for 

workers and former workers of 

Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corporation, a 

subsidiary of AMG, Newfield, New 

Jersey.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

[TA–W–72,729] 

International Paper Company, Pineville 

Mill Industrial Packaging Group; 

Pineville, LA; Notice of Negative 

Determination on Reconsideration 

On October 15, 2010, the Department 

of Labor (Department) issued an 

Affirmative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration for the 

workers and former workers of 

International Paper Company, Pineville 

Mill, Industrial Packaging Group, 

Pineville, Louisiana (subject facility). 

The Department’s Notice was published 

in the Federal Register on October 29, 

2010 (75 FR 66795). The subject workers 

produce containerboard/paperboard 

(uncoated freesheet containerboard). 

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 mis-interpretation of facts or 

of the law justified reconsideration of 

the decision. 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

findings that neither International Paper 

Company (subject firm) nor any of its 

customers imported articles like or 

directly competitive with uncoated 

freesheet containerboard produced at 

the subject facility, and that the subject 

firm neither shifted production to a 

foreign country nor acquired from 

another country articles like or directly 

competitive with the uncoated freesheet 

containerboard produced at the subject 

facility. The initial investigation also 

revealed that the workers are not 

eligible to apply for TAA as adverselyimpacted secondary workers because 

the subject facility did not produce a 

component part that was used by a firm 

that both employed a worker group that 

is currently eligible to apply for TAA 

and directly incorporated the 

containerboard in the production of the 

article that was the basis for the TAA 

certification. 

In the request for reconsideration, a 

subject firm official provided new 

information regarding the article 

produced at the subject facility, possible 

customer imports, and the possibility 

that workers are adversely-impacted 

secondary workers. 

During the reconsideration 

investigation, the Department contacted 

the subject firm to confirm and clarify 

previously-submitted information. The 

Department also reviewed previous 

International Paper Company 

certifications to determine whether the 

subject workers are adversely-impacted 

secondary workers. 

Information obtained during the 

reconsideration investigation confirmed 

that the workers at the subject facility 

were engaged in employment related to 

the production of containerboard/ 

paperboard. 

Information obtained during the 

reconsideration investigation also 

confirmed that, during the relevant 

period, the subject firm did not import 

either articles like or directly 

competitive with containerboard/ 

paperboard, or articles directly 

incorporating foreign-produced 

component parts which are like or 

directly competitive with imports of 

articles incorporating component parts 

produced by the subject facility. 

Information obtained during the 

reconsideration investigation also 

confirmed that the subject facility 

supplies directly to box production 

plants and that a customer survey is not 

necessary because the majority of the 

customers of the subject facility are 

other subject firm facilities. 

Information obtained during the 

reconsideration investigation also 

confirmed that the subject facility did 

not produce and supply a component 

part that was used by a firm (including 

an affiliated facility of the subject firm) 

that both employed a worker group that 

is currently eligible to apply for TAA 

and directly incorporated the 

containerboard/paperboard in the 

production of that article that was the 

basis for the TAA certification. 

Although four subject firm facilities 

employed workers eligible to apply for 

TAA, none can be the basis for a 

secondary impact certification in the 

case at hand.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Bureau of Labor Statistics 

Proposed Collection, Comment 

Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed extension of 

the ‘‘Current Population Survey (CPS) 

Volunteer Supplement.’’ A copy of the 

proposed information collection request 

(ICR) can be obtained by contacting the 

individual listed below in the addresses 

section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

addresses section of this notice on or 

before May 16, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Carol 

Rowan, BLS Clearance Officer, Division 

of Management Systems, Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2 

Massachusetts Avenue, NE., 

Washington, DC 20212. Written 

comments also may be transmitted by 

fax to 202–691–5111 (this is not a toll 

free number). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

number). (See ADDRESSES section.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The September 2011 CPS Volunteer 

Supplement will be conducted at the 

request of the Corporation for National 

and Community Service. The Volunteer 

Supplement will provide information 

on the total number of individuals in 

the U.S. involved in unpaid volunteer 

activities, the frequency or intensity 

with which individuals volunteer, the 

types of organizations for which they 

volunteer, the activities in which 

volunteers participate, and the 

prevalence of volunteering more than 

120 miles from home or volunteering 

abroad. It will also provide information 

on civic engagement and charitable 

donations. 

Because the Volunteer Supplement is 

part of the CPS, the same detailed 

demographic information collected in 

the CPS will be available about 

respondents to the supplement. Thus, 

comparisons of volunteer activities will 

be possible across respondent 

characteristics, including sex, race, age, 

and educational attainment. It is 

intended that the supplement will be 

conducted annually, if resources permit, 

in order to gauge changes in 

volunteerism. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for the CPS 

Volunteer Supplement. The September 

2011 instrument is unchanged since the 

previously approved collection. 

III. Desired Focus of Comments 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics 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. 

• 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. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for Office of 

Management and Budget approval of the 

information collection request; they also 

will become a matter of public record. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

Title: CPS Volunteer Supplement. 

OMB Number: 1220–0176.
