Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance

    After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register 
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these 
petitions.
    The following determinations terminating investigations were issued 
because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.

TA-W-72,508: American Axle and Manufacturing, Detroit, MI.
TA-W-72,714: General Motors Company, Paint and Polymers Engineering 
Division, Warren, MI.
TA-W-73,068: Grede Foundries, Incorporated, Vassar Foundry, Vassar, MI.

    The following determinations terminating investigations were issued 
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active 
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases 
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be 
covered by more than one certification at a time.

TA-W-73,661: Maersk Agency USA, Inc., Charlotte, NC.

    I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were 
issued during the period of May 10, 2010 through May 14, 2010. 
Copies of these determinations may be requested under the Freedom of 
Information Act. Requests may be submitted by fax, courier services, 
or mail to FOIA Disclosure Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ETA), U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20210 or to [email protected]. These 
determinations also are available on the Department's Web site at 
http://www.doleta.gov/tradeact under the searchable listing of 
determinations.
