48100 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 181 / Monday, September 21, 2009 / Notices 

ACTION: Commission determination not 

to close any part of the hearing to the 

public. 

SUMMARY: The Commission has 

determined to deny the request of Karl 

Schmidt Unisia, Inc. (‘‘Karl Schmidt’’) 

to conduct a portion of its hearing in the 

above-captioned investigations 

scheduled for September 17, 2009 in 

camera. See Commission rules 

207.24(d), 201.13(m) and 201.36(b)(4) 

(19 CFR 207.24(d), 201.13(m) and 

201.36(b)(4)). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Marc A. Bernstein, Office of General 

Counsel, U.S. International Trade 

Commission, telephone 202–205–3087. 

Hearing-impaired individuals are 

advised that information on this matter 

may be obtained by contacting the 

Commission’s TDD terminal on 202– 

205–1810. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Karl 

Schmidt’s request to conduct a portion 

of the hearing in camera did not satisfy 

the requirements of Commission rule 

207.24(d) because Karl Schmidt did not 

identify specific issues it intended to 

discuss in a closed hearing, nor did it 

indicate why it could not present its 

arguments and testimony in a public 

session. Karl Schmidt’s request also 

incorrectly assumed that it could 

present in camera testimony from 

corporate witnesses who had not 

entered the administrative protective 

order (APO) and that it could make its 

entire presentation in camera. 

Moreover, the Commission took into 

account that Karl Schmidt asked that 

the hearing be held in camera, ‘‘with 

only counsel granted APO permission 

present throughout.’’ This would 

exclude Petitioner’s counsel, who is not 

subject to the APO, from hearing 

Respondent’s arguments. Consequently, 

in light of the circumstances of these 

investigations, the Commission has 

concluded that it will be able to assess 

adequately all arguments raised by Karl 

Schmidt without resorting to the 

extraordinary measure of an in camera 

hearing. Accordingly, the Commission 

has determined that the public interest 

would be best served by a hearing that 

is entirely open to the public. See 19 

CFR 201.36(c)(1). 

Authority: This notice is provided 

pursuant to Commission Rule 201.35(b) (19 

CFR 201.35(b)). 

Issued: September 16, 2009. 

By order of the Commission. 

Marilyn R. Abbott, 

Secretary to the Commission. 

William R. Bishop, 

Acting Secretary to the Commission.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

Notice of Publication of Training and 

Employment Guidance Letter No. 11– 

07, Change 2 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of publication. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor’s 

(DOL) Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA) is publishing 

Training and Employment Guidance 

Letter (TEGL) No. 11–07, Change 2, 

which rescinds TEGL No. 11–07, 

Change 1. The 2008 Final Rule 

implementing the H–2A Temporary 

Agricultural Worker Program, 73 FR 

77109, Dec. 18, 2008 mirrors the 

clarification guidance of TEGL 11–07, 

Change 1, making the TEGL 

unnecessary and redundant. 

DATES: This Notice of Publication is 

effective September 21, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information on the H–2A labor 

certification process governed by this 

publication, contact William L. Carlson, 

Administrator, Office of Foreign Labor 

Certification, Employment and Training 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Room C–4312, Washington, DC 20210. 

Telephone: (202) 693–3010 (this is not 

a toll-free number). Individuals with 

hearing or speech impairments may 

access the telephone via TTY by calling 

the toll-free Federal Information Relay 

Service at 1–800–877–8339. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 14, 2007, the 

Department published TEGL No. 11–07, 

Change 1 that provided additional 

guidance to the State Workforce 

Agencies (SWAs) and ETA National 

Processing Centers (NPCs) involved in 

the processing of H–2A labor 

certification applications for temporary 

agricultural employment of foreign 

workers in the United States. 

Specifically, the clarifications provided 

direction to employer application filing, 

recruitment and housing standards. 

Need for Rescission 

On December 18, 2008 the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register final regulations that reengineered the H–2A temporary 

agricultural workers program. These 

regulations went into effect on January 

17, 2009. The regulations fully address 

employers’ obligations with respect to 

applications, recruitment, and housing 

standards making TEGL 11–07, Change 

1 redundant and unnecessary. In 

addition, the re-engineering of the H–2A 

program revised the role of both the 

NPC and the SWAs, making portions of 

the TEGL inaccurate. The Department 

no longer requires the guidance 

provided in TEGL No. 11–07, Change 1 

and is rescinding TEGL 11–07, Change 

1. 

Signed in Washington, DC this 26th day of 

August, 2009.

Assistant Secretary, Employment and 

Training Administration.
