which are produced directly using services supplied by such firm, have 
increased; and

affected secondary workers of a firm and a certification issued 
regarding eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance, each 
of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222(c) of the Act must 
be met.

workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or are 
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

production is related to the article or service that was the basis for 
such certification; and

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because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.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-73,258: Pacific Die Cut Industries, Hayward, CA

[[Page 34178]]

TA-W-73,955: Cole Ford Mercury of Winchester, Inc., Winchester, KY

    The following determinations terminating investigations were issued 
in cases where these petitions were not filed in accordance with the 
requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every petition filed by workers must be 
signed by at least three individuals of the petitioning worker group. 
Petitioners separated more than one year prior to the date of the 
petition cannot be covered under a certification of a petition under 
Section 223(b), and therefore, may not be part of a petitioning worker 
group. For one or more of these reasons, these petitions were deemed 
invalid.

TA-W-73,279: JP Morgan Chase, Fort Worth, TX
TA-W-73,498: ADC Telecommunications, Shakopee, MN
TA-W-73,930: Dee Van Enterprise USA, Inc., Fremont, CA

    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-72,501: PCC Airfoils, LLC, Precision Castparts Corporation, 
Crooksville, OH

    The following determinations terminating investigations were issued 
because the petitions are the subject of ongoing investigations under 
petitions filed earlier covering the same petitioners.

TA-W-74,059: Freescale Semiconductors, Woburn, MA

    I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were 
issued during the period of June 1, 2010, through June 4, 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.
