Omnova Solutions, Inc., Decorative 

Products Division, Jeannette, PA; 

Notice of Revised Determination on 

Reconsideration 

By letter of July 18, 2005 United Steel 

Workers of America, Local 22 requested 

administrative reconsideration of the 

Department’s negative determination 

regarding eligibility for workers and 

former workers of the subject firm to 

apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 

(TAA) and Alternative Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (ATAA). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination signed on June 

28, 2005 was based on the finding that 

there were no company imports of 

industrial films and laminates and no 

shift of production to a foreign source 

during the relevant period. The denial 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register on July 20, 2005 (70 FR 41792). 

To support the request for 

reconsideration, the petitioner supplied 

additional information regarding the 

subject firm’s joint venture with a 

foreign company and requested that the 

Department of Labor perform additional 

analysis of the data received upon the 

initial investigation. 

Upon the revision of the data 

collected during the investigation and 

further contact with the subject firm’s 

company official and subject firm’s 

customer, it was revealed that the 

subject firm and a major declining 

customer increased its import purchases 

of industrial films and laminates during 

the relevant time period. 

In accordance with Section 246 the 

Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 

amended, the Department of Labor 

herein presents the results of its 

investigation regarding certification of 

eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) for 

older workers. 

In order for the Department to issue 

a certification of eligibility to apply for 

ATAA, the group eligibility 

requirements of Section 246 of the 

Trade Act must be met. The Department 

has determined in this case that the 

requirements of Section 246 have been 

met. 

A significant number of workers at the 

firm are age 50 or over and possess 

skills that are not easily transferable. 

Competitive conditions within the 

industry are adverse. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the additional 

facts obtained on reconsideration, I 

conclude that increased imports of 

articles like or directly competitive with 

those produced at Omnova Solutions, 

Inc., Decorative Products Division, 

Jeannette, Pennsylvania, contributed 

importantly to the declines in sales or 

production and to the total or partial 

separation of workers at the subject 

firm. In accordance with the provisions 

of the Act, I make the following 

certification: 

All workers of Omnova Solutions, Inc., 

Decorative Products Division, Jeannette, 

Pennsylvania who became totally or partially 

separated from employment on or after May 

6, 2004 through two years from the date of 

this certification, are eligible to apply for 

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of 

the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to 

apply for alternative trade adjustment 

assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act 

of 1974. 

Signed in Washington, DC, this 19th day of 

August, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the public with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and continuing information collection 

requirements in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). 

This program ensures that 

information is in the desired format, 

reporting burden (time and costs) is 

minimal, collection instruments are 

clearly understood, and OSHA’s 

estimate of the information collection 

burden is accurate. The Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act) 

(29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes 

information collection by employers as 

necessary or appropriate for 

enforcement of the Act or for developing 

information regarding the causes and 

prevention of occupational injuries, 

illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). 

On January 5, 2005, OSHA published 

the Standards Improvement Project—

Phase II, Final rule (70 FR 1112). The 

final rule removed and revised 

provisions of standards that were 

outdated, duplicative, unnecessary, or 

inconsistent and clarified or simplified 

regulatory language. The final rule 

contained several revisions to 

collections of information contained in 

the DBCP Standard. These revisions 

included: updating compliance plans; 

allowing employers the option to post 

employee exposure-monitoring results 

instead of requiring individual 

notification; and eliminating the need 

for employers to report emergencies to 

OSHA and to notify OSHA when 

establishing a regulated area. Those 

changes reduced paperwork burden 

hours while maintaining worker 

protection and improving consistency 

among standards. 

The information collection 

requirements specified in the DBCP 

Standard protect employees from the 

adverse health effects that may result 

from their exposure to DBCP. The 1,2- 

Dibromo-3-Chloropropane standard 

requires employers to: Monitor 

employees’ exposure to DBCP; monitor 

employee health; and medical records; 

and provide employees with 

information about their exposures and 

health effects of exposure to DBCP. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 

for the proper information of the 

Agency’s functions, including whether 

the information is useful; 

• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 

information collection requirements, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• The quality, utility, and clarity of 

the information collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information collection 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA proposes to extend the Office 

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

approval of these collections of 

information (paperwork) requirements 

necessitated by the DBCP standard (29 

CFR 1910.1044). The Agency will 

include this summary in its request to 

OMB to extend the approval of these 

collections of information requirements. 

Type of Review: Extension of 

currently approved information 

collection requirements. 

Title: 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane 

Standard. 

OMB Number: 1218–0101. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Federal Government; State, 

Local or Tribal Government. 

Frequency: On occasion.

U.S. Department of Labor, 200

DC 20210; telephone (202) 693–2222. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the public with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and continuing information collection 

requirements in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This 

program ensures that information is in 

the desired format, reporting burden 

(time and costs) is minimal, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (the Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) 

authorizes information collection by 

employers as necessary or appropriate 

for enforcement of the Act or for 

developing information regarding the 

causes and prevention of occupational 

injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 

U.S.C. 657). 

The information collection 

requirements in the Hazard 

Communication Standard (‘‘the 

Standard’’) ensure that the hazards of 

chemicals produced or imported are 

evaluated, and that information 

concerning these hazards is transmitted 

to downstream employers and their 

employees. The Standard requires 

chemical manufacturers and importers 

to evaluate chemicals they produce or 

import to determine if they are 

hazardous; for those chemicals 

determined to be hazardous, they must 

develop material safety data sheets and 

warning labels. Employers are required 

to establish hazard communication 

programs to transmit information on the 

hazards of chemicals to their employees 

by means of labels on containers, 

material safety data sheets, and training 

programs. 

Implementation of these collection of 

information requirements will ensure 

that employees understand the hazards 

and identities of the chemicals to which 

they are exposed, thereby reducing the 

incidence of chemically-related 

occupational illnesses and injuries. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

Agency’s functions, including whether 

the information is useful; 

• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 

information collection requirements, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• The quality, utility, and clarity of 

the information collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information collection 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA proposes to extend the Office 

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

approval of the collection of information 

(paperwork) requirements necessitated 

by the Hazard Communication Standard 

(29 CFR 1910.1200; 1915.1200; 1917.28; 

1918.90; 1926.59; and 1928.21). The 

Agency is requesting a 3 million hour 

increase adjustment, mainly as a result 

of increasing the estimated number of 

affected nonmanufacturing 

establishments. 

The Agency will summarize the 

comments submitted in response to this 

notice, and will include this summary 

in its request to OMB to extend the 

approval of the collection of information 

requirements contained in the Standard. 

Type of Review: Extension of 

currently approved information 

collection requirements.
