Comments and questions about the ICR 

listed below should be received 5 

business days prior to the requested 

OMB approval date. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments which: 

• 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 submissions 

of responses. 

Agency: Employment and Training 

Administration. 

Title of Collection: American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 

High Growth and Emerging Industries 

(HGEI) Grants. 

OMB Control Number: Pending. 

Affected Public: Private Sector 

(relevant grantees) and Individuals or 

households (program participants) 

Total Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 262 grantees and 33,000 

program participants. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden 

Hours: 87,048. 

Total Estimated Annual Cost Burden 

(excluding hourly wage costs): $0. 

Description: The American Recovery 

and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (The 

Recovery Act) was signed into law by 

President Obama on February 17, 2009. 

Among other funding directed to the 

Department of Labor, the Recovery Act 

provides $750 million for a program of 

competitive grants for worker training 

and placement in high growth and 

emerging industries, the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 

High Growth and Emerging Industries 

(HGEI) grants. It is critical to record the 

impact of these Recovery Act resources, 

current information on participants in 

these grants, and the services provided 

to them. Therefore, to obtain a more 

robust look at participants and services 

provided with Recovery Act resources, 

the Employment & Training 

Administration (ETA) proposes a new 

information collection set for ARRA 

HGEI grantees. 

Why Are We Requesting Emergency 

Processing? This collection comprises a 

participant and performance reporting 

strategy that will provide a more robust 

view of the impact of the Recovery Act 

funds, providing greater information on 

levels of program participation, the 

characteristics of the participants served 

and the types of services provided 

through ARRA HGEI programs. The 

performance reporting requirements in 

this package align with outcome 

categories identified in the Solicitation 

for Grant Applications (SGAs) used to 

award these grants, SGA/DFA PY–08– 

17, SGA/DFA PY–08–18, SGA/DFA PY– 

08–19, SGA/DFA PY–08–20, SGA/DFA 

PY–08–21 and SGA/DFA PY–09–01. 

This data collection will provide ETA 

with more comprehensive information 

on the status of individual grants and 

individuals that receive services and 

find employment through these grants, 

and the data collection will enable ETA 

to provide more targeted technical 

assistance to support improvement of 

grantee outcomes. ETA will provide 

ARRA HGEI grantees with a data 

collection system that will support the 

collection of participant data for 

required reporting elements. ETA has 

already started awarding ARRA HGEI 

grants, and expects to award nearly all 

ARRA HGEI grants by February 2010, so 

the approval of this request is also 

necessary to allow ETA to provide an 

OMB approved reporting form quickly 

to ARRA HGEI grantees as their grant 

operations commence and to report 

performance accountability information 

immediately on the use of Recovery Act 

funds.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

[TA–W–72,041] 

Aleris Blanking and Rim Products, Inc., 

a Division of Aleris International, Inc., 

Terre Haute, IN; Notice of Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration 

By application dated January 29, 

2010, the 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 the subject firm. The 

determination was issued on December 

10, 2009 and the Notice of 

Determination was published in the 

Federal Register on January 25, 2010 

(75 FR 3932). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

findings that imports of aluminum 

blanks and hoops did not contribute 

importantly to worker separations at the 

subject firm and no shift of production 

to a foreign source occurred. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner provided additional 

information regarding customers of the 

subject firm. 

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 workers meet the 

eligibility requirements of the Trade Act 

of 1974. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the 

application, I conclude that the claim is
