CASE NO. 94-TSC-0006


IN THE MATTER OF

TODD RALSTON,

          COMPLAINANT,

     v.

NATIONAL PRINTING PLATE COMPANY,

          RESPONDENT.


BEFORE:   THE SECRETARY OF LABOR


                     FINAL ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT 
                         AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT

     Before me for review is the Recommended Decision and Order
Approving Settlement (R.D. and O.) of the Administrative Law
Judge (ALJ) in this case arising under the employee protection
provisions of the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. §
2622 (1988).  The ALJ recommended approval of the fully executed
Settlement Agreement submitted by the parties for review.  
     Upon careful review of the settlement agreement and the
record before me, I find that the terms of the settlement are
fair, adequate and reasonable to settle Complainant's allegations
that Respondent violated the TSC.      Accordingly, the settlement agreement is approved and the
complaint is DISMISSED.
     SO ORDERED.

                              ROBERT B. REICH
                              Secretary of Labor

Washington, D.C.
