II. Executive Order No. 13126 (E.O. 

13126) declared that it was ‘‘the policy 

of the United States Government * * * 

that the executive agencies shall take 

appropriate actions to enforce the laws 

prohibiting the manufacture or 

importation of goods, wares, articles, 

and merchandise mined, produced, or 

manufactured wholly or in part by 

forced or indentured child labor.’’ 

Pursuant to E.O. 13126, and following 

public notice and comment, the 

Department of Labor published in the 

January 18, 2001, Federal Register, a 

final list of products (the ‘‘List’’), 

identified by country of origin, that the 

Department, in consultation and 

cooperation with the Departments of 

State (DOS) and Treasury [relevant 

responsibilities now within the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS)], had a reasonable basis to believe 

might have been mined, produced or 

manufactured with forced or indentured 

child labor (66 FR 5353). In addition to 

the List, the Department also published 

on January 18, 2001, ‘‘Procedural 

Guidelines for Maintenance of the List 

of Products Requiring Federal 

Contractor Certification as to Forced or 

Indentured Child Labor,’’ which provide 

for maintaining, reviewing, and, as 

appropriate, revising the List (66 FR 

5351). Based on DOL research and 

information submitted by the public, 

DOL issued an initial determination on 

September 11, 2009, announcing 

proposed updates to the E.O. 13126 list 

and requesting public comments. Public 

comments were received and reviewed 

by all relevant agencies, and a final 

determination was issued on July 20, 

2010, that included all products 

proposed in the initial determination 

except for carpets from India (75 FR 

42164). Further DOL research was 

conducted in 2010 and a new initial 

determination was published December 

16, 2010, proposing to remove one good 

from the current list (charcoal from 

Brazil) and add another (textiles from 

Ethiopia). The current E.O. 13126 List, 

Procedural Guidelines, and related 

information can be accessed on the 

Internet at http://www.dol.gov/ILAB/ 

regs/eo13126/main.htm. Pursuant to 

Sections D through G of the Procedural 

Guidelines, the EO 13126 List may be 

updated through consideration of 

submissions by individuals or through 

OCFT’s own initiative. 

III. The Trade and Development Act 

of 2000 (TDA), Public Law 106–200 

(2002), established a new eligibility 

criterion for receipt of trade benefits 

under the Generalized System of 

Preferences (GSP), Caribbean Basin 

Trade and Partnership Act (CBTPA), 

and Africa Growth and Opportunity Act 

(AGOA). The TDA amends the GSP 

reporting requirements of Section 504 

the Trade Act of 1974, 19 U.S.C. 2464, 

to require that the President’s annual 

report on the status of internationally 

recognized worker rights include 

‘‘findings by the Secretary of Labor with 

respect to the beneficiary country’s 

implementation of its international 

commitments to eliminate the worst 

forms of child labor.’’ Title II of the TDA 

and the TDA Conference Report, Joint 

Explanatory Statement of the Committee 

of Conference, 106th Cong.2d.Sess. 

(2000), indicate that the same criterion 

applies for the receipt of benefits under 

CBTPA and AGOA, respectively. 

In addition, the Andean Trade 

Preference Act (ATPA), as amended and 

expanded by the Andean Trade 

Promotion and Drug Eradication Act 

(ATPDEA), Public Law 107–210, Title 

XXXI (2002), includes as a criterion for 

receiving benefits ‘‘[w]hether the 

country has implemented its 

commitments to eliminate the worst 

forms of child labor as defined in 

section 507(6) of the Trade Act of 1974.’’ 

DOL fulfills these reporting mandates 

through annual publication of the U.S. 

Department of Labor’s Findings on the 

Worst Forms of Child Labor with 

respect to countries eligible for the 

aforementioned programs. The 2010 

report and additional background 

information are available on the Internet 

at http://www.dol.gov/ILAB/programs/ 

ocft/tda.htm. 

Information Requested and Invitation 

to Comment: Interested parties are 

requested to consider DOL’s 2009 

Findings on the Worst Forms of Child 

Labor (TDA report); the 2010 List of 

Goods Produced by Child Labor or 

Forced Labor (TVPRA list); and the 

current Executive Order 13126 List of 

Products Requiring Federal Contractor 

Certification as to Forced or Indentured 

Child Labor (E.O. 13126 list), all of 

which may be found on the Internet at 

http://www.dol.gov/ilab/highlights/if20101215.htm or obtained from OCFT. 

DOL requests comments on or 

information to update the findings and 

suggestions for government action for 

countries reviewed in the TDA report; 

information on the nature and extent of 

child labor, forced labor, and forced or 

indentured child labor in the 

production of goods in foreign 

countries; and information on 

government, industry, or third-party 

actions and initiatives to address these 

issues. 

Materials submitted should be 

confined to the specific topics of these 

reports. DOL will generally consider 

sources with dates up to five years old 

(i.e., data not older than January 1, 

2005). DOL appreciates the extent to 

which submissions clearly indicate the 

time period to which they apply. In the 

interest of transparency, classified 

information will not be accepted. Where 

applicable, information submitted 

should indicate its source or sources, 

and copies of the source material should 

be provided. If primary sources are 

utilized, such as research studies, 

interviews, direct observations, or other 

sources of quantitative or qualitative 

data, details on the research or datagathering methodology should be 

provided. Please see the 2010 TDA 

report, TVPRA List, and E.O. 13126 List 

for a complete explanation of relevant 

terms, definitions, and reporting 

guidelines employed by DOL, or refer to 

ILAB’s previous Request for Information 

published in the Federal Register on 

Feb. 24, 2010 (75 FR 8402). 

This notice is a general solicitation of 

comments from the public. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 20th day of 

April, 2011.

Deputy Undersecretary for International 

Labor Affairs.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

[TA–W–75,131] 

JLG Industries, Inc., Access Division, 

A Subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, 

Hagerstown, MD; Notice of Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration 

By application dated April 8, 2011, by 

a petitioner requested administrative 

reconsideration of the negative 

determination regarding workers’ 

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers 

and former workers of JLG Industries, 

Inc., Access Division, a subsidiary of 

Oshkosh Corporation, Hagerstown, 

Maryland (subject firm). The 

determination was issued on March 9, 

2011. The Department’s Notice of 

Determination was published in the 

Federal Register on March 23, 2011 (76 

FR 16450). The workers are engaged in 

activities related to the supply of design 

engineering, global procurement supply 

chain, and safety and reliability for the 

production of access equipment. 

The negative determination was based 

on the findings that the subject firm 

worker group did not separate or 


jdjones on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2011 / Notices 22923 

threaten to separate a significant 

number or proportion of workers as 

required by Section 222 of the Trade Act 

of 1974, as amended. Further, the group 

eligibility requirements under Section 

222(f) of the Act were not satisfied 

because the workers’ firm has not been 

identified in an affirmative finding of 

injury by the U.S. International Trade 

Commission. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner stated that ‘‘Remaining 

employees were required to take a pay 

cut as well as a one week furlough 

without pay every three month * * * 

There were over 200 employees at the 

JLG Hagerstown, Maryland facilities 

who were affected by this and 100 

percent of these employees were 

required to participate in the wage 

reduction and furlough lay-offs although 

the furlough lay-offs were scheduled at 

different times for different employees 

to maintain some semblance of a work 

force.’’ 

The Department has carefully 

reviewed the request for reconsideration 

and the existing record, and has 

determined that the Department will 

conduct further investigation to 

determine if the petitioning workers 

meet the eligibility requirements of the 

Trade Act of 1974, as amended. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the 

application, I conclude that the claim is 

of sufficient weight to justify 

reconsideration of the U.S. Department 

of Labor’s prior decision. The 

application is, therefore, granted. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of 

April 2011.

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 

Assistance on January 12, 2011, 

applicable to workers of Wellpoint, Inc., 

Enterprise Provider Data Management 

Team, including on-site leased workers 

from Kelly Services and Jacobsen 

Group, Indianapolis, Indiana. The 

workers provide health insurance 

transactional services. The notice was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 26, 2011 (76 FR 4731). The 

certification was amended on March 30, 

2011 to include workers from auxiliary 

facilities in multiple states who were 

similarly affected by the acquisition of 

services that contributed importantly to 

separations at the Indianapolis, Indiana 

facility. The amended certification will 

be published soon in the Federal 

Register. 

At the request of a State agency, the 

Department reviewed the amended 

certification for workers of the subject 

firm. 

A review of the amended 

certifications shows that workers of 

Wellpoint, Inc., d/b/a Anthem East, 

Enterprise Provider Data Management 

Team, South Portland, Maine (TA–W– 

895H) are currently covered under an 

existing certification, TA–W–74,299, 

that expires on August 2, 2012. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

amending this certification to delete 

TA–W–895H. The other locations 

covered by the amended certification 

are unaffected. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–74,895 is hereby issued as 

follows:
