Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) 

applicable to workers and former 

workers of the subject firm. The 

determination was issued on March 4, 

2009. The Notice of Determination was 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 19, 2009 (74 FR 11760). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of filtration media 

did not contribute importantly to 

worker separations at the subject firm. 

The investigation also revealed that the 

subject firm did not shift production of 

filtration media to a foreign country 

during the relevant period. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner alleged that the workers of the 

subject firm also produced non-filtration 

products. The petitioner also alleged 

that the subject firm shifted production 

of non-filtration products abroad and 

also increased imports of non-filtration 

products during the relevant period. 

The Department 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 12th day of 

May 2009.

relevant period. 

In the request for reconsideration, the

subject also supported production of 

one piece and cast wheels. The 

petitioner also alleged that the subject

that there was an increase in imports of 

one piece and cast wheels from China.

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 pre-clearance 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. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed request for a 

new OMB Control number for the 

collection the ‘‘BLS Data Sharing 

Program.’’ A copy of the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) can 

be obtained by contacting the individual 

listed below in the ADDRESSES section of 

this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice on or 

before August 17, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Nora 

Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer, 

Division of Management Systems, 

Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 

2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., 

Washington, DC 20212. Written 

comments may be transmitted by fax to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

An important aspect of the mission of 

the BLS is to disseminate to the public 

the maximum amount of information 

possible. Not all data are publicly 

available because of the importance of 

maintaining the confidentiality of BLS 

data. However, the BLS has 

opportunities available on a limited 

basis for eligible researchers to access 

confidential data for purposes of 

conducting valid statistical analyses that 

further the mission of the BLS as 

permitted in the Confidential 

Information Protection and Statistical 

Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA). 

The BLS makes confidential data 

available to eligible researchers through 

three major programs: 

1. The Census of Fatal Occupational 

Injuries (CFOI), as part of the BLS 

occupational safety and health statistics 

program, compiles a count of all fatal 

work injuries occurring in the U.S. in 

each calendar year. Multiple sources are 

used in order to provide as complete 

and accurate information concerning 

workplace fatalities as possible. A 

research file containing CFOI data is 

made available offsite to eligible 

researchers. 

2. The National Longitudinal Surveys 

of Youth (NLSY) is designed to 

document the transition from school to 

work and into adulthood. The NLSY
