220 / Wednesday, November 16, 2005 / Notices
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that a worker
separation occurred involving an
employee of the Wallingford,
Connecticut facility of Winchester
Electronics located in Los Altos,
California. Mr. John Mitchell provided
engineering support services for the
production of connectors and cable
assemblies at the Wallingford,
Connecticut location of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include an employee of
the Wallingford, Connecticut facility of
Winchester Electronics, a subsidiary of
Northrop Grumman, located in Los
Altos, California.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
Winchester Electronics, a subsidiary of
Northrop Grumman, Wallingford,
Connecticut, who were adversely
affected by a shift in production to
Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–55,674 is hereby issued as
follows:
‘‘All workers of Winchester Electronics, a
subsidiary of Northrop Grumman, including
leased workers of Hamilton Connections and
Agentry, Wallingford, Connecticut (TA–W–
55,674), including employees of Winchester
Electronics, a subsidiary of Northrop
Grumman, Wallingford, Connecticut, located
in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (TA–W–
55,674A), and Los Altos, California (TA–W–
55,674B), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after
September 22, 2003, through October 13,
2006, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act
of 1974;’’ and
I further determine that all workers of
Winchester Electronics, a subsidiary of
Northrop Grumman, including leased
workers of Hamilton Connections and
Agentry, Wallingford, Connecticut, including
employees of Winchester Electronics, a
subsidiary of Northrop Grumman,
Wallingford, Connecticut, located in
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Los Altos,
California, are denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under
section 246 of the trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 4th day of
November, 2005.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade

ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance 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.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
January 17, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to James E.
Herbert, Room C4526, 200 Constitution
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210,
(202) 693–2926 (this is not a toll-free
number). E-mail address is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 303(a)(4) of the Social
Security Act (SSA) and Section
3304(a)(3) of the Federal Unemployment
Tax Act (FUTA) require that all money
received in the unemployment fund of
a state be paid immediately to the
Secretary of Treasury to the credit of the
Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF). This
is the ‘‘immediate deposit’’ standard.
Section 303(a)(5) of the SSA and
Section 3304(a)(4) of the FUTA require
that all money withdrawn from the UTF
be used solely for the payment of
unemployment compensation, exclusive
of the expenses of administration. This
is the ‘‘limited withdrawal standard’’.
Federal law (Section 303(a)(6) of the
SSA) gives the Secretary of Labor the
PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
authority to require the reporting of
information deemed necessary to assure
state compliance with the provisions of
the SSA.
Under this authority, the Secretary of
Labor requires the following reports to
monitor state compliance with the
immediate deposit and limited
withdrawal standards:
ETA 2112: UI Financial Transactions
Summary, Unemployment Fund
ETA 8401: Monthly Analysis of Benefit
Payment Account
ETA 8405: Monthly Analysis of Clearing
Account
ETA 8413: Income—Expense Analysis
UC Fund, Benefit Payment Account
ETA 8414: Income—Expense Analysis
UC Fund, Clearing Account
ETA 8403: Summary of Financial
Transactions—Title IX Funds
These reports are submitted to the
Office of Workforce Security (OWS) in
the ETA which uses them to:
• Monitor cash flows into and out of
the UTF to determine state compliance
with the immediate deposit and limited
withdrawal standards.
• Assure proper accounting for
unemployment funds, an integral part of
preparing the Department’s
consolidated financial statements,
required by the Chief Financial Officer
Act of 1990. The UTF is the single
largest asset and liability on the
statements.
• Reconcile the Department’s records
with the U.S. Treasury records.
• Develop UI research and actuarial
reports, especially to monitor the
solvency of the UTF.
The cited reports have been submitted
monthly by the states the past several
years in electronic format, with the
exception of the ETA 8403. The
Department is working with the U.S.
Treasury to convert the ETA 8403 to an
electronic format by December 31, 2006.
Since the reports are essential to the
Department’s financial statements and
program oversight responsibilities, the
Department seeks Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval for a three
year extension to March 31, 2009.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the Employment and
Training Administration is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension for the collection of the UI
Trust Fund Summaries reports.
Comments should:
• 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;
E:\FR\FM\16NON1.SGM 16NON1
 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 220 / Wednesday, November 16, 2005 / Notices
• 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 the 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 submissions
of responses.

collection request (ICR) can be obtained
