PRAMain, or by calling the Department 

of Labor Departmental Clearance 

Officer, Ira Mills, on 202–693–4122. 

Comments and questions about the 

ICR listed below should be submitted to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the 

Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA), Office of 

Management and Budget, Room 10235, 

Washington, DC 20503 (202–395–7316), 

and received prior to the requested 

OMB approval date. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

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: Evaluation of State 

Implementation of Section 303(k) of the 

Social Security Act. 

OMB Number: 1205–0NEW. 

Frequency: One-time Survey. 

Affected Public: State Government. 

Type of Response: Reporting. 

Number of Respondents: 53. 

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 2 

hours. 

Total Burden Hours: 106. 

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): 0. 

Total Burden Cost (operating/ 

maintaining): 0. 

Description: The collection of this 

information is necessary to examine 

state implementation of section 303(k) 

of the Social Security Act (SSA) as to (1) 

status and effectiveness of state actions 

to meet the requirement of the law and 

operation guidance, and (2) whether the 

Secretary of Labor (Secretary) should 

recommend Congressional action to 

make revisions to the law. On August 9, 

2004, Public Law (Pub.L.) 108–295, the 

‘‘ State Unemployment Tax Act (SUTA) 

Dumping Prevention Act of 2004’’ (Act) 

was enacted which amended section 

303(k) of the SSA by establishing a 

minimum nationwide standard for 

curbing a unemployment compensation 

tax rate manipulation schemes known 

as SUTA dumping. The Act requires the 

Secretary of Labor to conduct a study of 

state implementation and report to 

Congress by July 15, 2007 at section 2, 

F(b)(1). ETA now requests emergency 

approval to enable ETA’s contractor 

sufficient time to distribute, collect, and 

analyze the state survey results and 

incorporate them into the study findings 

before the July 15, 2007, statutorily 

mandated submission date for the 

Secretary’s report to Congress. The 

timing of the survey design and review 

request corresponds with the states’

implementation of the detection 

systems, which began after enactment of 

the Federal law. If the survey design and 

distribution predated the 

implementation of state detection 

systems, states would be unable to 

provide useful data on the status and 

effectiveness of state actions to meet the 

requirement(s) of the Federal law and 

operation guidance.

(employment decline) have not been 

met. 

TA–W–60,806A; Berwick Offray LLC,

Fiberweb (Reemay, Inc.), Bethune, SC; 

Amended Certification Regarding 

Eligibility To Apply for Worker 

Adjustment Assistance and Alternative 

Trade Adjustment Assistance 

In accordance with Section 223 of the 

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

Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 2813), the 

Department of Labor issued a 

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for 

Worker Adjustment Assistance and 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance on January 17, 2007, 

applicable to workers of Fiberweb, Inc., 

Bethune, South Carolina. The notice 

was published in the Federal Register 

on February 7, 2007 (72 FR 5748). 

At the request of the State agency, the 

Department reviewed the certification 

for workers of the subject firm. The 

workers produce nonwoven textile 

fabric. The State reports that the subject 

firm’s employee wages are reported 

under the Unemployment Insurance 

(UI) account for Reemay, Inc. 

The Department has learned through 

follow-up with a company official that 

the firm’s name is Fiberweb and 

Reemay, Inc. is the affiliated entity that 

processes the payroll. 

It is the Department’s intent of the 

certification to include all workers of 

the subject firm adversely affected by 

increased imports of nonwoven textiles. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

amending the certification to include 

workers of the subject firm whose wages 

are reported under the company name, 

Reemay, Inc. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–60,568 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

All workers of Fiberweb (Reemay, Inc.), 

Bethune, South Carolina, who became totally 

or partially separated from employment on or 

after December 8, 2005 through January 17, 

2009, are eligible to apply for adjustment 

assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act 

of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for 

alternative trade adjustment assistance under 

Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974. 

Signed in Washington, DC, this 1st day of 

March 2007.
