Anglo Fabrics Company, Incorporated,

Webster, MA and New York, NY;

Amended Certification Regarding

Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA

Transitional Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 250(a),

Subchapter 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 October 19, 1997,

applicable to all workers of Anglo

Fabrics Company, Incorporated,

Webster, Massachusetts. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

November 7, 1997 (62 FR 60280).

At the request of the company, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

findings show that worker separations

occurred at the New York, New York

location of Anglo Fabrics Company

when it closed in May, 1998. The New

York, New York location was

headquarter offices, sales and designing

to support the production of wool

fabrics at the Webster, Massachusetts

facility of Anglo Fabrics Company,

Incorporated.

Accordingly, the Department is

amending the certification to cover

workers at Anglo Fabrics Company,

Incorporated, New York, New York.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Anglo Fabrics Company, Incorporated

adversely affected by imports from

Mexico.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA–01873 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Anglo Fabrics Company,

Incorporated, Webster, Massachusetts

(NAFTA–01873) and New York, New York

(NAFTA–01873A) who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after July 30, 1996 through October 19, 1999

are eligible to apply for NAFTA–TAA under

Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 10 day of

July 1998.

Administration, Wage and Hour

Minimum Wages for Federal and

Federally Assisted Construction;

General Wage Determination Decisions

General wage determination decisions

of the Secretary of Labor are issued in

accordance with applicable law and are

based on the information obtained by

the Department of Labor from its study

of local wage conditions and data made

available from other sources. They

specify the basic hourly wage rates and

fringe benefits which are determined to

be prevailing for the described classes of

laborers and mechanics employed on

construction projects of a similar

character and in the localities specified

therein.

The determinations in these decisions

of prevailing rates and fringe benefits

have been made in accordance with 29

CFR Part 1, by authority of the Secretary

of Labor pursuant to the provisions of

the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931,

as amended (46 Stat. 1494, as amended,

40 U.S.C. 276a) and of other Federal

statutes referred to in 29 CFR Part 1,

Appendix, as well as such additional

statutes as may from time to time be

enacted containing provisions for the

payment of wages determined to be

prevailing by the Secretary of Labor in

accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act.

The prevailing rates and fringe benefits

determined in these decisions shall, in

accordance with the provisions of the

foregoing statutes, constitute the

minimum wages payable on Federal and

federally assisted construction projects

to laborers and mechanics of the

specified classes engaged on contract

work of the character and in the

localities described therein.

Good cause is hereby found for not

utilizing notice and public comment

procedure thereon prior to the issuance

of these determinations as prescribed in

5 U.S.C. 553 and not providing for delay

in the effective date as prescribed in that

section, because the necessity to issue

current construction industry wage

determinations frequently and in large

volume causes procedures to be

impractical and contrary to the public

interest.

General wage determination

decisions, and modifications and

supersedes decisions thereto, contain no

expiration dates and are effective from

their date of notice in the Federal

Register, or on the date written notice

is received by the agency, whichever is

earlier. These decisions are to be used

in accordance with the provisions of 29

CFR Parts 1 and 5. Accordingly, the

applicable decision, together with any

modifications issued, must be made a

part of every contract for performance of

the described work within the

geographic area indicated as required by

an applicable Federal prevailing wage

law and 29 CFR Part 5. The wage rates

and fringe benefits, notice of which is

published herein, and which are

contained in the Government Printing

Office (GPO) document entitled

‘‘General Wage Determinations Issued

Under The Davis-Bacon And Related

Acts,’’ shall be the minimum paid by

contractors and subcontractors to

laborers and mechanics.

Any person, organization, or

government agency having an interest in

the rates determined as prevailing is

encouraged to submit wage rate and

fringe benefit information for

consideration by the Department.

Further information and selfexplanatory forms for the purpose of

submitting this data may be obtained by

writing to the U.S. Department of Labor,

Employment Standards Administration,

Wage Determinations, 200 Constitution

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Mine Safety and Health Administration

Proposed Information Collection

Request Submitted for Public

Comment and Recommendations;

Application for Waiver of Surface

Facilities Requirement

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden

conducts a preclearance consultation

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 concerning the proposed

extension of the information collection

related to the Application for Waiver of

Surface Facilities Requirement. 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,
