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because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.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.

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

I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were
issued during the period of April 8, 2013 through April 12, 2013. 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.
