Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Forging Machines information 

collection. Under regulations 29 CFR 

1910.218, it is mandatory for covered 

employers to conduct and to document 

periodic inspections of forging 

machines, guards, and point-ofoperation protection devices and to 

mark manually controlled valves and 

switches. These requirements reduce 

workers’ risks of death or serious injury 

by ensuring that forging machines used 

by them are in safe operating condition 

and that the workers are able to identify 

manually operated valves and switches. 

Occupational Safety and Health Act 

sections 2, 6, and 8 authorize this 

information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 

651, 655, and 657. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1218–0228. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

January 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 30, 2014 (79 FR 36832). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1218–0228. The OMB is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• 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. 

Agency: DOL–OSHA. 

Title of Collection: Forging Machines.

Contacts Metals and Welding, Inc., 

Indianapolis, Indiana; Notice of 

Affirmative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration 

By application dated October 10, 

2014, the IUE–CWA, Local 84001, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 241 / Tuesday, December 16, 2014 / Notices 74769 

requested administrative 

reconsideration of the negative 

determination regarding workers’ 

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers 

and former workers of Contacts Metals 

and Welding, Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana 

(subject firm). The determination was 

issued on August 28, 2014. The 

Department’s Notice of determination 

was published in the Federal Register 

on September 11, 2014 (79 FR 54298). 

Workers at the subject firm were 

engaged in activities related to the 

production of resistance welding 

consumables and accessories, such as 

welding tips and holders. 

The negative determination was based 

on the Department’s findings that 

during the course of the investigation, 

the Department received information 

which establishes that BGA 

Management, LCC (doing business as 

Alliance Management) is the Courtappointed receiver for CMW 

International, LLC; that CMW 

International, LLC is the successor-ininterest to CMW International, Inc.; that 

the afore-mentioned entities have the 

same address as Contacts Metals and 

Welding, Inc.; that the Court-appointed 

receiver was authorized to sell assets, 

including the right to sell products 

under the Contacts Metals and Welding, 

Inc./CMW brand; and that the entity(s) 

selling products under the CMW brand 

are not successor-in-interest to either 

CMW International, LLC, CMW 

International, Inc., or Contacts Metals 

and Welding, Inc. 

With respect to Section 222(a)(2)(B) of 

the Act, the Department did not receive 

information that Contacts Metals and 

Welding, Inc. shifted production of 

resistance welding consumables and 

accessories, or like or directly 

competitive articles, to a foreign 

country. 

With respect to Section 

222(a)(2)(A)(ii), the Department did not 

receive information that imports of 

articles like or directly competitive with 

the resistance welding consumables and 

accessories produced by Contacts 

Metals and Welding, Inc. increased 

during the relevant period. 

With respect to Section 222(b)(2) of 

the Act, the Department did not receive 

information that Contacts Metals and 

Welding, Inc. was a Supplier to, or act 

as a Downstream Producer for, a firm 

that employed a group of workers who 

received a certification of eligibility 

under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 

U.S.C. 2272(a), based on an increase in 

imports from, or a shift in production to, 

Canada or Mexico. 

The request for reconsideration states 

‘‘The Union has, since the negative 

determination, been reaching out to 

secure better contact information . . . 

We are submitting that information so 

that a more comprehensive reinvestigation can be conducted.’’ The 

request for reconsideration also alleged 

that production shifted to various 

foreign countries including Mexico, 

Canada, Germany, and China. In 

addition, the request for reconsideration 

included contact information for a 

union representative and several former 

company officials to assist with the 

reconsideration. 

The Department has carefully 

reviewed the request for reconsideration 

and the existing record, and 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. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th day of 

December 2014.

[TA–W–85,505] 

Red Shield Acquisition, D/B/A Old 

Town Fuel and Fiber, Old Town, Maine; 

Notice of Negative Determination 

Regarding Application for 

Reconsideration 

By application dated October 3, 2014, 

United Steelworkers, Local 4–0080 

(USW) requested administrative 

reconsideration of the Department of 

Labor’s negative determination 

regarding eligibility to apply for worker 

adjustment assistance, applicable to 

workers and former workers of Red 

Shield Acquisition, d/b/a Old Town 

Fuel and Fiber, Old Town, Maine 

(subject firm). The determination was 

signed on September 23, 2014, and the 

Department’s Notice of Determination 

was published in the Federal Register 

on October 21, 2014 (79 FR 62971). The 

subject firm is engaged in the 

production of bleached hardwood kraft 

pulp. 

Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c) 

reconsideration may be granted under 

the following circumstances: 

(1) If it appears on the basis of facts 

not previously considered that the 

determination complained of was 

erroneous; 

(2) If it appears that the determination 

complained of was based on a mistake 

in the determination of facts not 

previously considered; or 

(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying 

Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or 

of the law justified reconsideration of 

the decision. 

The negative determination was based 

on the Department’s findings that the 

subject firm did not shift the production 

of articles like or directly competitive 

with bleached hardwood kraft pulp to a 

foreign country; that imports of articles 

like or directly competitive with the 

bleached hardwood kraft pulp did not 

contribute importantly to the workers’ 

separation or threat of separation and to 

the decline in sales or production of the 

firm; and that the subject firm is not a 

Supplier or Downstream Producer to a 

firm that employed a group of workers 

who received a certification of eligibility 

under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 

U.S.C. 2272(a). During the investigation, 

the Department reviewed import data 

from the subject firm and its major 

declining customers, and within the 

industry. 

In the request for reconsideration, 

USW asserts that the majority of the 

kraft pulp market is produced in foreign 

countries and that two of the subject 

firm’s major customers use foreign-made 

pulp in their paper and tissue 

production process. 

The request for reconsideration did 

not supply facts not previously 

considered; nor provide additional 

documentation indicating that there was 

either (1) a mistake in the determination 

of facts not previously considered or (2) 

a misinterpretation of facts or of the law 

justifying reconsideration of the initial 

determination. Based on these findings, 

the Department determines that 29 CFR 

90.18(c) has not been met. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the application 

and investigative findings, I conclude 

that there has been no error or 

misinterpretation of the law or of the 

facts which would justify 

reconsideration of the Department of 

Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the 

application is denied.
