71434 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 236 / Thursday, December 9, 2004 / Notices 

Products, Inc. v. Secretary of Labor

(Court No. 04–00410). 

The Department’s denial of Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 

Alternate Trade Adjustment Assistance 

(TAA) for workers of Wyoming Wood 

Products, Inc., West Wyoming, 

Pennsylvania was issued on June 16, 

2004 and was published in the Federal 

Register on July 7, 2004 (69 FR 40983). 

Petitioners had filed as an adversely 

affected secondary group. The workers 

produced wood frames used in the 

production of motion furniture. The 

investigation revealed that the company 

to which the subject company supplied 

component parts was not TAA certified. 

A Dismissal of Application for 

Reconsideration was issued on August 

4, 2004 and was published in the 

Federal Register on August 11, 2004 (69 

FR 48895). The request was denied 

because the application contained no 

new substantial information. 

On October 5, 2004, the USCIT 

granted a consent motion for voluntary 

remand and ordered the Department to 

conduct a further investigation and 

determine whether the petitioning 

workers are eligible for trade adjustment 

assistance. 

Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 2272(c)(4), a 

worker must be employed by a company 

that produces or supplies ‘‘component 

parts for articles that were the basis for 

a certification of eligibility’’ of a group 

of primarily trade-affected workers to be 

certified as a secondarily trade-affected 

worker, per the Trade Act. 

The subject company supplied wood 

frames exclusively to Westside 

Stitching, Inc., West Wyoming, 

Pennsylvania, a company that the 

Department has determined not to be 

adversely import-impacted (TA–W–

54,635). 

Conclusion 

After reconsideration on remand, I 

affirm the original notice of negative 

determination of eligibility to apply for 

adjustment assistance for workers and 

former workers of Wyoming Wood 

Products, Inc., West Wyoming, 

Pennsylvania.

Signed at Washington, DC this 2nd day of 

December 2004.

Certifying Officer, Division of of Trade 

Adjustment Assistance.

II. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the public with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and continuing information-collection 

requirements in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). 

This program ensures that 

information is in the desired format, 

reporting burden (time and costs) is 

minimal, collection instruments are 

clearly understood, and OSHA’s 

estimate of the information collection 

burden is accurate. The Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act) 

(29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes 

information collection by employers as 

necessary or appropriate for 

enforcement of the Act or for developing 

information regarding the causes and 

prevention of occupational injuries, 

illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). 

Paragraph (a)(4) of 1910.178 requires 

that employers obtain the 

manufacturer’s written approval before 

modifying a powered industrial truck in 

a manner that affects its capacity and 

safe operation; if the manufacturer 

grants such approval, the employer 

must revise capacity, operation, and 

maintenance instruction plates, tags, 

and decals accordingly. For front-end 

attachments not installed by the 

manufacturer, paragraph (a)(5) mandates 

that employers provide a label (marking) 

on the truck that identifies the 

attachment, as well as the weight of 

both the truck and the attachment when 

the attachment is at maximum elevation 

with a laterally centered load. Paragraph 

(a)(6) specifies that employers must 

ensure that the markers required by 

paragraphs (a)(3) through (a)(5) remain 

affixed to the truck and are legible. 

Paragraphs (l)(1) through (l)(6) of the 

Standard contain the paperwork 

requirements necessary to certify the 

training provided to powered industrial 

truck operators. Accordingly, these 

paragraphs specify the following 

requirements for employers: 

• Paragraph (l)(1)—Ensure that 

trainees successfully complete the 

training and evaluation requirements of 

paragraph (1) prior to operating a truck 

without direct supervision.

• Paragraph (1)(2)—Allow trainees to 

operate a truck only under the direct 

supervision of an individual with the 

knowledge, training, and experience to 

train operators and to evaluate their 

performance, and under conditions that 

do not endanger other employees. The 

training program must consist of formal 

instruction, practical training, and 

evaluation of the trainee’s performance 

in the workplace. 

• Paragraph (1)(3)—Provide the 

trainees with initial training on each of 

22 specified topics, except on topics 

that the employer demonstrates do not 

apply to the safe operation of the 

truck(s) in the employer’s workplace. 

• Paragraphs (1)(4)(i) and (1)(4)(ii)—

Administer refresher training and 

evaluation on relevant topics to 

operators found by observation or 

formal evaluation to operate a truck 

unsafely, involved in an accident or 

near-miss incident, or assigned to 

operate another type of truck, or if the 

employer identifies a workplace 

condition that could affect safe truck 

operation. 

• Paragraph (1)(4)(iii)—Evaluate each 

operator’s performance at least once 

every three years. 

• Paragraph (1)(5)—Train rehires only 

in specific topics that they performed 

unsuccessfully during an evaluation and 

that are appropriate to the employer’s 

truck(s) and workplace conditions. 

• Paragraph (1)(6)—Certify that each 

operator meets the training and 

evaluation requirements specified by 

paragraph (1). This certification must 

include the operator’s name, the 

training date, the evaluation date, and 

the identity of the individual(s) who 

performed the training and evaluation. 

Requiring markers notifies employees 

of the conditions under which they can 

safely operate powered industrial 

trucks, thereby preventing such hazards 

as fires and explosions caused by poorly 

designed electrical systems, rollovers/

tipovers that result from exceeding a 

truck’s stability characteristics, and 

falling loads that occur when loads 

exceed the lifting capacities of 

attachments. Certification of training 

and evaluation provides a means of 

informing employers that their 

employees received the training, and 

demonstrated the performance 

necessary to operate a truck within its 

capacity and control limitations. 

Therefore, by ensuring that employees 

operate only trucks that are in proper 

working order, and do so safely, 

employers prevent severe injury and 

death to truck operators and other 

employees who are in the vicinity of the 

trucks. Finally, these paperwork 

requirements are the most efficient 

means for an OSHA compliance officer 

to determine that an employer properly 

notified employees regarding the design 

and construction of, and modifications 

made to, the trucks they are operating, 

and that an employer provided them 

with the required training. 

III. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed informationcollection requirements are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

Agency’s functions, including whether 

the information is useful; 

71436 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 236 / Thursday, December 9, 2004 / Notices 

• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 

information-collection requirements, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• The quality, utility, and clarity of 

the information collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information-collection 

and -transmission techniques.

IV. Proposed Actions 

OSHA proposes to extend the Office 

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

approval of the collection of information 

(paperwork) requirements necessitated 

by the Powered Industrial Trucks
