At the request of Ohio State, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. New
information from the company shows
that some workers separated from
employment at the Mason, Ohio
location of ATOS IT Solutions &
Services, Inc., Billing and Collections
Department had their wages reported
through a separate unemployment
insurance (UI) tax account under the
name Siemens IT Solutions and
Services.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending this certification to include
workers of the subject firm whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages are
reported through Siemens IT Solutions
and Services.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
the subject firm who were adversely
affected by a shift in accounting services
to a foreign country. The amended
notice applicable to TA–W–82,999 is
hereby issued as follows:
‘‘All workers of ATOS IT Solutions &
Services, Inc., Billing and Collections
Department, including workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages are
reported through Siemens IT Solutions and
Services, Mason, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after August 16, 2012, through October 17,
2015, and all workers in the group threatened

ACTION:

Notice.

The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance 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 (PRA)
[44 U.S.C. 3505(c)(2)(A)]. The 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 the collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the Office
of Labor-Management Standards
(OLMS) of the Department of Labor
(Department) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed extension of
the collection of information
requirements for processing
applications under 49 U.S.C. 5333(b),
the Federal Transit Law. A copy of the
proposed information collection request
can be obtained by contacting the office
listed below in the addresses section of
this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section below on or before
January 27, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Andrew R. Davis, Chief of
the Division of Interpretations and
Standards, Office of Labor-Management
Standards, U.S. Department of Labor,
200 Constitution Avenue NW., Room N–
5609, Washington, DC 20210, olmspublic@dol.gov, (202) 693–0123 (this is
not a toll-free number), (800) 877–8339
(TTY/TDD).
Please use only one method of
transmission (mail or Email) to submit
comments or to request a copy of this
information collection and its
supporting documentation; including a
description of the likely respondents,
proposed frequency of response, and
estimated total burden.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: Under 49 U.S.C.
5333(b), when Federal funds are used to
acquire, improve, or operate a transit
system, the Department must ensure
that the recipient of those funds
establishes arrangements to protect the
rights of affected transit employees.
Federal law requires such arrangements
to be ‘‘fair and equitable,’’ and the
Department of Labor (DOL or ‘‘the
Department’’) must certify the
arrangements before the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) can award
certain funds to grantees. These
employee protective arrangements must
include provisions that may be
necessary for the preservation of rights,
privileges, and benefits under existing
collective bargaining agreements or
otherwise; the continuation of collective
bargaining rights; the protection of
individual employees against a
worsening of their positions related to
employment; assurances of employment
to employees of acquired transportation

systems; assurances of priority of
reemployment of employees whose
employment is ended or who are laid
off; and paid training or retraining
programs. 49 U.S.C. 5333(b)(2).
Pursuant to 29 CFR Part 215, upon
receipt of copies of applications for
Federal assistance subject to 49 U.S.C.
5333(b) from the FTA, together with a
request for the certification of employee
protective arrangements from the
Department of Labor, DOL will process
those applications. The FTA will
provide the Department with the
information necessary to enable the
Department to process employee
protections for certification of the
project.
II. Review Focus: The Department is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• 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;
• 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 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 submission of
responses.
III. Current Actions: The Department
seeks extension of the current approval
to collect this information. An extension
is necessary because, if the information
is not collected, DOL will be unable to
determine that arrangements are ‘‘fair
and equitable’ concerning the rights of
affected transit employees. The
information collected by OLMS is used
to certify projects and allow funds to
reach the applying transit agencies,
which would prevent a reduction in
services for the public and work for
employees.
DOL Procedural Guidelines (29 CFR
Part 215), encourage the development of
employee protections through local
negotiations, but establish time frames
for certification to expedite the process
and make it more predictable, while
assuring that the required protections
are in place.
Pursuant to the Guidelines, DOL
refers for review the grant application
and the proposed terms and conditions

PO 00000

Frm 00058

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

70585

to unions representing transit
employees in the service area of the
project and to the applicant and/or subrecipient. No referral is made if the
application falls under one of the
following exceptions: (1) Employees in
the service area are not represented by
a union; (2) the grant is for routine
replacement items; (3) the grant is for a
Job Access project serving populations
less than 200,000. (29 C.F.R. § 215.3).
Grants where employees in the service
area are not represented by a union will
be certified without referral based on
protective terms and conditions set forth
by DOL.
When a grant application is referred
to the parties, DOL recommends the
terms and conditions to serve as the
basis for certification. The parties have
15 days to inform DOL of any objections
to the recommended terms including
reasons for such objections. If no
objections are registered and no
circumstances exist inconsistent with
the statue, or if objections are found not
sufficient, DOL certifies the project on
the basis of the recommended terms.
If DOL determines that the objections
are sufficient, the Department, as
appropriate, will direct the parties to
negotiate for up to 30 days, limited to
issues defined by DOL.
If the parties are unable to reach
agreement within 30 days, DOL will
review the final proposals and where no
circumstances exist inconsistent with
the statute, issue an interim certification
permitting FTA to release funds,
provided that no action is taken relating
to the issues in dispute that would
irreparably harm employees.
Following the interim certification,
the parties may continue negotiations. If
they are unable to reach agreement, DOL
sets the terms for Final Certification
within 60 days. DOL may request briefs
on the issues in dispute before issuing
the final certification.
Notwithstanding the above, the
Department retains the right to withhold
certification where circumstances
inconsistent with the statue so warrant
until such circumstances have been
resolved.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rigorous
evaluation of costs and benefits is a core
tenet of the rulemaking process. It is
particularly important in the area of
climate change. The current estimate of
the social cost of CO2 emissions (SCC)
has been developed over many years,
using the best science available, and
with input from the public.
In February 2010, after considering
public comments on interim values that
agencies used in a number of rules, an
interagency group of technical experts,
coordinated by OMB and the Council of
Economic Advisers (CEA), released
improved SCC estimates. The
interagency group estimated the
improved SCC values using the most
widely cited climate economic impact
models. Those climate impact models,
known as integrated assessment models,
were developed by outside experts and
published in the peer-reviewed
literature. Recognizing that the models
underlying the SCC estimates would
evolve and improve over time as
scientific and economic understanding
increased, the Administration
committed in 2010 to regular updates of
these estimates.
In May of this year, after all three of
the underlying models were updated
and used in peer-reviewed literature,
and agencies received public comments
urging them to update their estimates,
the interagency group released revised
SCC values. The May 2013 estimates
reflect values that are similar to those
used by other governments,
international institutions, and major

PO 00000

Frm 00059

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

corporations. Those estimates have been
available for public comment in several
proposed rulemakings since May, and
agencies have already received
comments that are under review.
The revised Technical Support
Document that was issued in November,
2013 is based on the best available
scientific information on the impacts of
climate change. We will continue to
refine the SCC estimates to ensure that
agencies are appropriately measuring
the social cost of carbon emissions as
they evaluate the costs and benefits of
rules.
Request for Comment: OMB requests
comments on all aspects of the TSD
(http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/
default/files/omb/inforeg/for-agencies/
Social-Cost-of-Carbon-for-RIA.pdf) and
its use of integrated assessment models
(IAMs) to estimate SCC values to
support agency regulatory impact
analyses. We are particularly interested
in comments on the following topics:
• The selection of the three IAMs for
use in the analysis and the synthesis of
the resulting SCC estimates, as outlined
in the 2010 TSD the model inputs used
to develop the SCC estimates, including
economic growth, emissions trajectories,
climate sensitivity and intergenerational
discounting;
• how the distribution of SCC
estimates should be represented in
regulatory impact analyses; and
• the strengths and limitations of the
overall approach (see also the February,
2010 TSD available at http://
www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/
omb/inforeg/for-agencies/Social-Cost-ofCarbon-for-RIA.pdf).
OMB is not requesting comments on
the three peer reviewed IAMs
themselves; rather we are requesting
comments on their use in developing
the SCC estimates.
