SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to maintain PRA authority for 

information collection activities related 

to Prohibited Transaction Class 

Exemption (PTE) 1985–68, which 

permits an employee benefit plan to 

invest in an employer’s customer notes 

under circumstances the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

and Internal Revenue Code of 1986 

would otherwise prohibit. More 

specifically, this PTE describes the 

conditions under which a plan may 

acquire customer notes accepted by an 

employer of employees covered by the 

plan in the ordinary course of the 

employer’s business activity and, thus, 

be exempt from the prohibited 

transaction restrictions; provided, the 

exemption conditions are met. The PTE 

covers sales as well as contributions of 

customer notes by an employer to its 

plan. The customer notes must have 

been accepted by the employer in its 

primary business activity as the seller of 

tangible personal property that is being 

financed by the notes, so that the 

exemption does not apply to notes of an 

employer’s affiliate. 

The PTE includes a recordkeeping 

provision that requires a plan seeking to 

use the exemption to maintain records 

that enable an interested party to 

determine whether the exemption 

conditions have been met. These 

records must be maintained for six (6) 

years from the date of the transaction. 

The PTE also requires those records be 

made available to certain persons on 

request. Without this recordkeeping 

requirement, the DOL would be 

hampered in enforcing the exemption 

terms and ensure user compliance. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1210–0094. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

December 31, 2013. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 22, 2013 (78 FR 30333). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB Control Number 1210– 

0094. The OMB 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; and 

• 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 submission of 

responses.

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 May 30, 2013, applicable 

to workers of Schweitzer-Mauduit 

International, Inc., Paper Machine #21, 

Ancram, New York. The workers are 

engaged in activities related to the 

production of porous plug warp and 

long fiber papers for the cigarette 

industry. The Department’s notice of 

determination was published in the 

Federal Register on June 21, 2013 (78 

FR 37588). 

At the request of a company official, 

the Department reviewed the 

certification for workers of the subject 

firm. New information from the 

company revealed that workers of 

Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc.,

employed at a warehouse that stores the 

porous plug warp and long fiber papers 

for the cigarette industry produced at 

Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc.,

are included on the payroll for 

Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc., 

Paper Machine #21, Ancram, New York 

(TA–W–82,718), they work and live in 

Massachusetts. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers of 

the subject firm who were adversely 

affected by increased imports. 

Based on these findings, the 

Department is amending this 

certification to include workers working 

at Schweitzer-Mauduit International, 

Inc., Columbia Mill, Lee, Massachusetts 

(TA–W–82,718A). 

The amended notice applicable to
