Amended Certification Regarding

Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA

Transitional Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 250(a),

Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 USC

2273), the Department of Labor issued a

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

NAFTA Transitional Adjustment

Assistance on February 11, 1997,

applicable to all workers of Atlantic

Steel Industries, Incorporated located in

Cartersville, Georgia. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

March 12, 1997 (62 FR 11473).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

findings show that worker separations

have occurred at the subject firm’s

Atlanta plant also in Georgia. The

workers are engaged in employment

related to the production of steel billets,

bars, rods, and flats.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Atlantic Steel Industries Incorporated

who were affected by increased imports

from Mexico or Canada. Accordingly,

the Department is amending the worker

certification to include the workers of

Atlantic Steel Industries Incorporated,

Atlanta, Georgia.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA—01397 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Atlantic Steel Industries,

Inc., Cartersville, Georgia (NAFTA—01397)

and Atlanta, Georgia (NAFTA—01397A),

who became totally or partially separated

from employment on or after December 13,

1995 are eligible to apply for NAFTA–TAA

under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Regarding Eligibility To Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 250(a),

Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 USC

2273), the Department of Labor issued a

Certification for NAFTA-Transitional

Adjustment Assistance on March 12,

1997, applicable to workers of Binks

Sames Corporation located in Franklin

Park, Illinois. The notice was published

in the Federal Register on March 31,

1997 (62 FR 15200).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. The

workers were engaged in the production

of spray booths and other paint spraying

equipment. Findings show that the

Department incorrectly set the worker

certification impact date at January 7,

1997. The impact date should be

January 7, 1996, one year prior to the

date of the petition. Accordingly, the

Department is amending the

certification to reflect this matter.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA–01436 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Binks Sames Corporation,

Franklin Park, Illinois who were engaged in

employment related to the production of

spray booths who became totally or partially

separated from employment on or after

January 7, 1996, are eligible to apply for

NAFTA–TAA under Section 250 of the Trade

Act of 1974.

Wright-Bernet, Inc. Division of Ekco,

Group Inc., Hamilton, OH; Notice of

Termination of Certification

This notice terminates the

Certification Regarding Eligibility To

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance issued by the Department on

December 16, 1996, for all workers of

Wright-Bernet, Inc., Division of Ekco

Group Inc. located in Hamilton, Ohio.

The notice of certification was

published in the Federal Register on

December 31, 1996 (61 FR 69110).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of Wright-Bernet, Inc.

Workers of the subject firm produced

brooms, brushes, and mops. When the

worker certification was issued it was

determined that the requirements of

(a)(1)(B) of section 250 were met. The

company was shifting production of

brushes, brooms, and mops from the

workers’ firm to Mexico.

New information provided by the

company reveals that the Ekco Group

will not shift production to Mexico as

originally planned. Ekco Group will

consolidate their Easthampton,

Massachusetts production into the

Hamilton, Ohio location. The

consolidation will result in increased

employment.

Since there are no adversely affected

workers of the subject firm, the

continuation of the certification would

serve no purpose and the certification

has been terminated.

of March 1997.

Proposed Information Collection

Request Submitted for Public

Comment and Recommendations; Fire

Protection (Underground Coal Mines)

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden

conducts a preclearance consultation
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 72 / Tuesday, April 15, 1997 / Notices 18367

program to provide the general public

and Federal agencies with an

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing collections of

information in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This

program helps to ensure that requested

data can be provided in the desired

format, reporting burden (time and

financial resources) is minimized,

collection instruments are clearly

understood, and the impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

properly assessed.

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting

comments about the proposed

reinstatement of the information

collection related to program of

instruction, location and use of fire

fighting equipment, location of

escapeways, exits and routes of travel,

and evacuation procedures. MSHA is

also soliciting comments about certain

existing information collections which

were determined to be certifications

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1980 and were therefore not considered

to be a paperwork burden under that

statute. These collections are related to

examinations of chemical fire

extinguishers, fire drills, examinations

and tests of automatic fire sensor and

warning device systems, and tests of fire

hydrants and fire hose. MSHA 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.

A copy of the proposed information

collection request can be obtained by

contacting the employee listed below in

the For Further Information Contact

section of this notice.

DATES: Submit comments on or before

June 16, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Subpart L of 30 CFR 75 establishes

minimum fire protection requirements

for underground coal mines. This

subpart contains provisions requiring

that a program for the instruction of

miners in fire fighting and evacuation

procedures be adopted by the mine

operator and approved by the MSHA

district manager. Subpart L also

contains provisions requiring fire

extinguishers to be examined every 6

months, fire drills to be conducted every

90 days, automatic fire sensor and

warning device systems to be examined

weekly and tested annually, and fire

hydrants and hose to be tested at least

once a year. These provisions also

require that the mine operator maintain

a record or certification that the fire

drills and examinations and tests were

conducted.

II. Current Actions

MSHA believes that the requirement

for distinct fire fighting and evacuation

programs for coal mines promotes the

objectives of the Federal Mine Safety

and Health Act of 1977 by ensuring that

miners are able to safely evacuate a

mine in the event of a fire and that fires

are extinguished as soon as possible.

MSHA uses the programs and the fire

drill and fire fighting equipment

certifications to determine whether a

mine operator has adequate procedures

and equipment to protect miners in the

event of a fire.

Type of Review: Reinstatement

(without change) and approval of

existing collections in use without an

OMB control number.

Agency: Mine Safety and Health

Administration.

Title: Fire Protection (Underground

Coal Mines).
