By letter dated June 1, 2006, Local 2–
0445 USW requested administrative
reconsideration regarding the
Department’s Negative Determination
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance,
applicable to the workers of the subject
firm.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination signed on May
16, 2006 was based on the finding that
imports of printing paper did not
contribute importantly to worker
separations at the subject plant and no
shift of production to a foreign source
occurred. The denial notice was
published in the Federal Register on
June 9, 2006 (71 FR 33488).
The petitioner stated that affected
workers lost their jobs as a result of the
subject firm’s customers increasing
imports of paper.
The Department conducted an
additional investigation to determine
whether imports of printing paper
indeed impacted production at the
subject firm and consequently caused
workers separations. Upon further
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
review of the previous investigation the
Department conducted a more extended
survey of the subject firm’s declining
customers. The survey revealed that a
significant number of customers
increased their reliance on imported
printing paper during the relevant
period. The imports accounted for a
meaningful portion of the subject plant’s
lost production. The investigation
further revealed that production and
employment at the subject firm declined
during the relevant time period.
In accordance with section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its
investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older
workers.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of section 246 of the Trade
Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the
requirements of section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced at Smart Papers, Park
Falls, Wisconsin, contributed
importantly to the declines in sales or
production and to the total or partial
separation of workers at the subject
firm. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following
certification:
All workers of Smart Papers, Park Falls,
Wisconsin who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after
March 14, 2005 through two years from the
date of this certification, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to
apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.
Signed in Washington, DC this 11th day of
July 2006.

Adjustment Assistance.
