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because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.

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.

[[Page 40643]]

I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were issued
during the period of June 18, 2012 through June 22, 2012. These
determinations are available on the Department's Web site tradeact/taa/
taa search form.cfm under the searchable listing of determinations or
by calling the Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance toll free at 888-
365-6822.
