    The following determinations terminating investigations were issued because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active certifications.

The duplicative petitions did not present new information or a change in circumstances that would result in a reversal of the Department's previous negative determination, and therefore, further investigation would duplicate efforts and serve no purpose.
