Attachment A 

Memorandum of Agreement 

In applying for these funds, the

(the ‘‘applicant’’) agrees to participate in a 

random assignment evaluation in which 

individuals applying to the program are 

randomly assigned to either receive or not to 

receive program services. This agreement is 

intended to serve as evidence of the 

applicant’s commitment to support and 

participate in a random assignment study. 

The impact study will require selected

Visteon Corporation Regional 

Assembly & Manufacturing LLC, Fuel 

Delivery—Climate Group Division, 

Concordia, MO; Notice of Negative 

Determination on Reconsideration 

On September 4, 2008, the 

Department issued an Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration for the workers and 

former workers of the subject firm. The 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register on September 18, 2008 (73 FR 

54171). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of automotive fuel 

tanks did not contribute importantly to 

worker separations at the subject firm 

and no shift of production to a foreign 

source occurred. 

The petitioner requested that workers 

of Visteon Corporation Regional 

Assembly & Manufacturing LLC, Fuel 

Delivery—Climate Group Division, 

Concordia, Missouri be considered 

eligible for TAA as a secondary affected 

company. The petitioner provided a list 

of TAA certified companies to which 

the subject firm allegedly supplied 

components during the relevant time 

period. 

A company official was contacted to 

verify whether the subject firm supplied 

automotive fuel tanks to the companies 

and locations provided by the 

petitioner. The company official stated 

that Visteon Corporation Regional 

Assembly & Manufacturing LLC, Fuel 

Delivery—Climate Group Division, 

Concordia, Missouri did not directly sell 

to these certified locations and that 

these specific production facilities were 

not customers of the subject firm during 

the relevant time period. The 

Department conducted a further 

investigation and determined that none 

of the customers of the subject firm were 

certified eligible for TAA during the 

relevant time period. 

Conclusion 

After reconsideration, I affirm the 

original notice of negative 

determination of eligibility to apply for 

worker adjustment assistance for 

workers and former workers of Visteon 

Corporation Regional Assembly & 

Manufacturing LLC, Fuel Delivery— 

Climate Group Division, Concordia, 

Missouri.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Independent contractors performing 

services or construction at mines are 

subject to the Federal Mine Safety and 

Health Act of 1977. Title 30 CFR 45.4(b) 

requires mine operators to maintain a 

written summary of information 

concerning each independent contractor 

present on the mine site. The 

information includes the trade name, 

business address, and telephone 

number; a brief description and the 

location on the mine of the work to be 

performed; MSHA identification 

number, if any; and the contractor’s 

business address of record. This 

information is required to be provided 

for inspection and enforcement 

purposes by the mine operator to any 

MSHA inspector upon request. 

Title 30 CFR 45.3 provides that 

independent contractors may 

voluntarily obtain a permanent MSHA 

identification number by submitting to 

MSHA their trade name and business 

address, a telephone number, an 

estimate of the annual hours worked by 

the contractor on mine property for the 

previous calendar year, and the address 

of record for service of documents upon 

the contractor. Independent contractors 

performing services or construction at 

mines are subject to the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act) and are responsible for violations 

of the Mine Act committed by them or 

their employees. 

Although Independent Contractors are 

not required to apply for the 

identification number, they will be 

assigned one by MSHA the first time 

they are cited for a violation of the Mine 

Act. MSHA uses the information to 

issue a permanent MSHA identification 

number to the independent contractor. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

extension of the information collection 

requirement related to Independent 

Contractor Registration and 

Identification. MSHA is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of MSHA’s 

functions, including whether the 

information has practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

• Suggest methods to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Address 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) to minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the employee listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice or 

viewed on the internet by accessing the 

MSHA home page (http:// 

www.msha.gov/) and selecting ‘‘Rules 

and Regs’’, and then selecting ‘‘Fed Reg 

Docs.’’ 

III. Current Actions

contractors is used by MSHA during 

inspections to determine proper 

responsibility for compliance with 

safety and health standards.
