65516 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 205 / Monday, October 25, 2010 / Notices 

The determination was issued on July 

30, 2010, and the Notice of 

determination was published in the 

Federal Register on August 13, 2010 (75 

FR 49532). The workers provide storage 

services. 

The negative determination was based 

on the finding that a shift of production 

to Canada in 2006 did not contribute 

importantly to separations at the subject 

firm because, during the period of the 

investigation, the subject firm did not 

produce an article; rather, the subject 

firm provided storage services for other 

subsidiaries of AMG, the parent 

company, and those storage services 

were shifted to an affiliate domestic 

facility. In addition, the subject firm did 

not supply services to a firm that 

employed a worker group that is 

currently eligible to apply for TAA. 

The request for reconsideration 

alleges that the workers did not supply 

the services identified in the 

determination. The worker also states 

that the subject firm is in the process of 

permanently decommissioning and 

shifted operations to various facilities 

throughout the United States as well as 

Canada, Brazil, England, and Mexico. 

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, as amended. 

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.

October 2010.

American Spring Wire Corporation, 

Kankakee, IL; Notice of Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration 

By application dated August 24, 2010, 

workers 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 July 

30, 2010 and the Notice of 

Determination was published in the 

Federal Register on August 13, 2010 (75 

FR 49532). The workers produce metal 

stampings. 

The negative determination was based 

on the findings that there was no 

increase in imports of metal stampings 

(or like or directly competitive articles) 

by the subject firm or its customers, and 

no shift to/acquisition from a foreign 

country by the workers’ firm of article 

like or directly competitive with the 

metal stampings produced by the 

subject workers. The investigation also 

revealed that the workers did not 

produce a component part that was used 

by a firm that employed workers eligible 

to apply for TAA and used the 

component parts in the production of 

the article that was the basis for the 

certification. 

The request for reconsideration 

alleges that the subject firm supplied 

component parts to firms in the 

automotive industry and asserts that 

increased imports of finished articles 

that contain foreign-made component 

parts like or directly competitive with 

the metal stampings produced by the 

subject firm contributed importantly to 

separations at the Kankakee, Illinois 

facility. 

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, as amended.

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

ASC Machine Tools, Inc., Spokane 

Valley, WA; Notice of Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration 

By application dated September 21, 

2010, a representative of the 

International Association of Machinists 

and Aerospace Workers (IAM&AW), 

District Lodge 751, requested 

administrative reconsideration of the 

negative determination regarding 

workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 

applicable to workers and former 

workers of ASC Machine Tools, Inc., 

Spokane Valley, Washington (the 

subject firm). The Notice of negative 

determination was issued on August 11, 

2010 and published in the Federal 

Register on August 30, 2010 (75 FR 

52986). The workers produce customorder metal cutting machinery used to 

form and cut metal, including 

assembled equipment, component parts 

of equipment, and spare parts. 

The negative determination was based 

on the findings that the subject firm 

sales decline was due to loss of export 

sales of foreign customers’ bids to 

competitors outside the United States. 

The initial investigation also revealed 

decreased aggregate imports of metal 

cutting equipment during the relevant 

period and that the subject firm is not 

a supplier or downstream producer for 

any firm that employed a worker group 

eligible to apply for TAA. 

The union official, in the request for 

reconsideration, alleges increased 

imports from Sen Fung Rollform 

Machinery Corporation in Taiwan and 

Metform International in Canada. The 

union official also articulates the 

concern that ‘‘the affected workers are 

being penalized due to the inconsistent 

customer base of the company’’ and 

requests that aggregate import data 

during 2007 and 2008 be considered. 

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, as amended.

After careful review of the 

application, I conclude that the claim is

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration 

By application dated September 14, 

2010, workers 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 Department’s Notice of negative 

determination was issued on August 5, 

2010 and published in the Federal 

Register on August 23, 2010 (75 FR 

51849). The workers are engaged in 

activity related to the supply of 

engineering services. 

The negative determination was based 

on the findings that the subject firm did 

not increase imports services supplied 

by the worker’s firm and that there has 

not been a shift to a foreign country in 

the supply of services by the subject 

firm. The investigation also revealed 

that the subject firm does not supply a 

service that was directly used in the 

production of an article by a firm that 

employed a worker group eligible to 

apply for TAA. 

The request for reconsideration 

alleges that increased imports of articles 

(disk drives) that were produced 

directly using the services supplied by 

the subject workers (engineering) 

contributed importantly to separations 

at the subject firm. 

The Department has carefully 

reviewed the request for reconsideration 

and the existing record, and has 

determined that the Department will

Expansion of Recognition 

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration’s final decision 

expanding the recognition of the 

Canadian Standards Association as a 

Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory under 29 CFR 1910.7. 

DATES: The expansion of recognition 

becomes effective on October 25, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Notice of Final Decision 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA) hereby gives 

notice that it is expanding recognition of 

the Canadian Standards Association 

(CSA) as a Nationally Recognized 

Testing Laboratory (NRTL). CSA’s 

expansion covers the use of additional 

test standards. OSHA’s current scope of 

recognition for CSA may be found in the 

following informational Web page: 

http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ 

csa.html. 

OSHA recognition of an NRTL 

signifies that the organization has met 

the legal requirements specified in 29 

CFR 1910.7. Recognition is an 

acknowledgment that the organization 

can perform independent safety testing 

and certification of the specific products 

covered within its scope of recognition, 

and is not a delegation or grant of 

government authority. As a result of 

recognition, employers may use 

products approved by the NRTL to meet 

OSHA standards that require product 

testing and certification. 

The Agency processes applications by 

an NRTL for initial recognition, or for 

expansion or renewal of this 

recognition, following requirements in 

Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This 

appendix requires that the Agency 

publish two notices in the Federal 

Register in processing an application. In 

the first notice, OSHA announces the 

application and provides its preliminary 

finding and, in the second notice, the 

Agency provides its final decision on 

the application. These notices set forth 

the NRTL’s scope of recognition or 

modifications of that scope. OSHA 

maintains an informational Web page 

for each NRTL that details its scope of 

recognition. These pages are available 

from the Web site at http:// 

www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ 

index.html. Each NRTL’s scope of 

recognition has three elements: (1) The 

type of products the NRTL may test, 

with each type specified by its 

applicable test standard; (2) the 

recognized site(s) that has/have the 

technical capability to perform the 

testing and certification activities for 

test standards within the NRTL’s scope; 

and (3) the supplemental program(s) 

that the NRTL may use, each of which 

allows the NRTL to rely on other parties 

to perform activities necessary for 

product testing and certification. 

CSA submitted an application, dated 

June 25, 2008, to expand its recognition 

to include five additional test standards. 

The NRTL Program staff determined 

that four of these standards (listed 

below) are ‘‘appropriate test standards’’ 

within the meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c). 

In connection with this request, NRTL 

Program staff did not perform any onsite 

review of CSA’s recognized sites. The 

staff only performed a comparability 

analysis,1 and recommended expansion 

of CSA’s recognition to include the 

additional four test standards listed 

below. The Agency subsequently 

accepted this recommendation, and 

published a preliminary notice 

announcing the expansion application 

in the Federal Register on April 26, 

2010 (75 FR 21666). Comments were 

requested by May 11, 2010, but OSHA 

received no comments in response to 

this notice. OSHA is now proceeding
