ensure the appropriate consideration, 

comments should reference the OMB 

Control Number (see below). 

The OMB 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 submission of 

responses.

Description: The National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, 

Public Law 110–181, was enacted on 

January 28, 2008. Section 1105 of Public 

Law 110–181 amended the Federal 

Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) 

creating a new section 8102a effective 

upon enactment. This section 

establishes a new FECA death gratuity 

benefit of up to $100,000 for eligible 

beneficiaries of federal employees and 

Non-Appropriated Fund Instrumentality 

employees who die from injuries 

incurred in connection with service 

with an Armed Force in a contingency 

operation. Section 8102a also permits 

agencies to authorize retroactive 

payment of the death gratuity for 

employees who died on or after October 

7, 2001, in service with an Armed Force 

in the theater of operations of Operation 

Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi 

Freedom. Form CA–40 requests the 

information necessary from the 

employee to accomplish this variance. 

Form CA–41 provides the means for 

those named beneficiaries and possible 

recipients to file claims for those 

benefits and requests information from 

such claimants so that OWCP may 

determine their eligibility for payment. 

Further, the statute and regulations 

require agencies to notify OWCP 

immediately upon the death of a 

covered employee. CA–42 provides the 

means to accomplish this notification 

and requests information necessary to 

administer any claim for benefits 

resulting from such a death. For 

additional information, see related 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on January 28, 2010 (75 FR page 4586).

paid under the assisted reemployment 

project. This information allows for a

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Administration 

[TA–W–71,494] 

Johns Manville, Engineered Products 

Division, Spartanburg, SC; Notice of 

Affirmative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration 

By application dated May 2, 2010, a 

petitioner requested administrative 

reconsideration of the negative 

determination regarding workers’ 

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers 

and former workers of the subject firm. 

The determination was issued on April 

16, 2010. The Notice of Determination 

will soon be published in the Federal 

Register. 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of polyester nonwoven fabrics did not contribute 

importantly to worker separations at the 

subject firm and no shift of production 

to a foreign source occurred. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner provided additional 

information pertaining to the operations 

and customer base of the subject firm. 

The Department has carefully 

reviewed the request for reconsideration 

and the existing record and has 

determined that the Department will 

conduct further investigation to 

determine if the workers meet the 

eligibility requirements of the Trade Act 

of 1974. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the 

application, I conclude that the claim is 

of sufficient weight to justify 

reconsideration of the U.S. Department 

of Labor’s prior decision. The 

application is, therefore, granted. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of 

May 2010. 

Del Min Amy Chen, 

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade 

Adjustment Assistance.
