Description: The information 

collection requirements contained in 29 

CFR 1910.111(b)(3) and (b)(4) help 

ensure that employers use only properly 

designed and tested containers and 

systems to store anhydrous ammonia, 

thereby, preventing accidental release 

of, and exposure of employees to, this 

highly toxic and corrosive substance. In 

addition, these requirements provide 

the most efficient means for an OSHA 

compliance officer to ensure that the 

containers and systems are safe.

Description: Regulations at 29 CFR 

part 24, 29 CFR part 1979, 29 CFR part 

1980, and 29 CFR part 1981 specify the 

procedures that an employee must use 

to file a complaint with OSHA alleging 

that their employer violated a ‘‘whistle 

blower’’ provision for which the Agency 

has investigative responsibility. Any 

employee who believes that such a 

violation occurred may file a compliant, 

or have the complaint filed on their 

behalf. While OSHA specifies no 

particular form for filing a complaint, 

these regulations require that a 

complaint must be in writing and 

should include a full statement of the 

acts and omissions, with pertinent 

dates, which are believed to constitute 

the alleged violation.

Ahearn & Soper Company, Inc., East 

Syracuse, NY; Notice of Termination of 

Investigation 

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade 

Act of 1974, as amended, an 

investigation was initiated on July 20, 

2004 in response to a worker petition 

filed by a State agency representative on 

behalf of workers at Ahearn & Soper 

Company, Inc., East Syracuse, New 

York. 

The petition regarding the 

investigation has been deemed invalid. 

In order to establish a valid worker 

group, there must be at least three fulltime workers employed at some point 

during the period under investigation. 

Workers of the group subject to this 

investigation did not meet the threshold 

of employment. Consequently the 

investigation has been terminated.

Signed at Washington, DC this 8th day of 

September 2004.

C & W Fabricators Wheelabrator Air 

Pollution Control, Inc., Gardner, MA; 

Amended Certification Regarding 

Eligibility To Apply for Worker 

Adjustment Assistance 

In accordance with section 223 of the 

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the 

Department of Labor issued a 

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for 

Worker Adjustment Assistance on July 

15, 2002, applicable to workers of

C & W Fabricators, Gardner, 

Massachusetts. The notice was 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 29, 2002 (67 FR 49038). 

At the request of the State agency, the 

Department reviewed the certification 

for workers of the subject firm. The 

workers are engaged in the production 

of inlet and exhaust systems for gas 

turbines. 

New information provided by a 

company official shows that some of the 

workers separated from employment at 

C & W Fabricators had their wages 

reported under a separate 

unemployment insurance (UI) tax 

account for Wheelabrator Air Pollution 

Control, Inc. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

amending the certification to properly 

reflect this matter. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers of 

C & W Fabricators, Gardner, 

Massachusetts, who were adversely 

affected by a shift in production to 

Mexico. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–41,336 is hereby issued as 

follows:

‘‘All workers of C & W Fabricators, Inc., 

Wheelabrator Air Pollution Control, Inc., 

Gardner, Massachusetts, who became totally 

or partially separated from employment on or 

after April 4, 2001, through July 15, 2004, are 

eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 

under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.’’

September 2004.
