56744 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 187 / Wednesday, September 28, 2005 / Notices 

supplied additional information. Upon 

further review and contact with the 

subject firm’s major customer, it was 

revealed that the customer significantly 

increased its imports of products like or 

directly competitive with automotive 

parts purchased from the subject firm 

and decreased its purchases from the 

subject firm during the relevant period. 

The imports accounted for a meaningful 

portion of the subject plant’s lost sales 

and production. The investigation 

further revealed that production and 

employment at the subject firm declined 

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 United Machine 

Works, Inc., Bethel, North Carolina and 

United Machine Works, Inc., Greenville, 

North Carolina, 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 United Machine Works, 

Inc., Bethel, North Carolina (TA–W–57,336) 

and United Machine Works, Inc., Greenville, 

North Carolina (TA–W–57,336A) who 

became totally or partially separated from 

employment on or after June 3, 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 14th day of 

September, 2005. 

Elliott S. Kushner, 

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade 

Adjustment Assistance.

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

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 

Employment Standards Administration 

is soliciting comments concerning the 

proposed collection: Work Experience 

and Career Exploration Programs 

(WECEP) Regulations, 29 CFR part 

570.35a. A copy of the proposed 

information collection request can be 

obtained by contacting the office listed 

below in the addresses section of this 

Notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 

29 U.S.C. 201 et seq., section (3)(l) 

establishes a minimum age of 16 years 

for most nonagricultural employment 

but allows the employment of 14- and 

15 year olds in occupations other than 

manufacturing and mining, if the 

Secretary of Labor determines such 

employment is confined to (1) periods 

that will not interfere with the minor’s 

schooling and (2) conditions that will 

not interfere with the minor’s health 

and well-being. FLSA section 11(c) 

requires all employers covered by the 

FLSA to make, keep and preserve 

records of their employees’ wages, hours 

and other conditions and practices of 

employment. Regulations issued by the 

Secretary of Labor prescribe the 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements for these records. Subpart 

C of Regulations, 29 CFR part 570, Child 

Labor Regulations, Orders and 

Statements of Interpretation, sets forth 

the employment standards for 14- and 

15-year olds (CL Reg. 3). Regulations 29 

CFR 570.35a contains the requirements 

describing the criteria for use, 

occupations permitted and conditions of 

employment that allow employment of 

14- and 15-year olds-pursuant to a 

school-supervised and schooladministered Work Experience and 

Career Exploration Program (WECEP)—

under the conditions CL Reg. 3 

otherwise prohibits. In order to utilize 

the CL Reg. 3 WECEP provisions, 

regulations 29 CFR 570.35(b)(2) requires 

a state educational agency to file an 

application for approval of a state 

WECEP program as one not interfering 

with schooling or with the health and 

well-being of the minors involved. 

Regulations 29 CFR 570.35a(b)(3)(vi) 

requires preparation of a written 

training agreement for each student 

participating in a WECEP and that such 

agreement be signed by the teachercoordinator, employer and student. The 

regulation also requires the student’s 

parent or guardian to sign or otherwise 

consent to the agreement, in order for it 

to be valid. Regulations 29 CFR 

570.35a(b)(4)(ii) requires state education 

agencies to keep a record of the names 

and addresses of each school enrolling 

WECEP students and the number of 

enrollees in each unit. The state or local 

educational agency office must keep a 

copy of the written training agreement 

for each student participating in the 

program and maintain these records for 

3 years from the date of enrollment in 

the program. This information 

collection is currently approved for use 

through March 31, 2006. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor 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 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 187 / Wednesday, September 28, 2005 / Notices 56745 

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. 

III. Current Actions 

The Department of Labor seeks the 

approval of the extension of this 

information collection in order to carry 

out its responsibility to ensure 

compliance with the youth employment 

provisions of the FLSA and its 

regulations. Without this information, 

the Administrator would have no means 

to determine if the proposed program 

meets the regulatory requirements.
