Trade Adjustment Assistance
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26
U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on January 16, 2007,
applicable to workers of LEGO Systems,
Inc., including on-site leased workers of
Staff Management, Enfield, Connecticut.
The notice was published in the Federal
Register on February 7, 2007 (72 FR
5748).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers were engaged in the assembly
of LEGO toy model kits.
New information shows that in
February 2006, the leased workers of
Adecco USA, Inc., employed on-site at
the Enfield, Connecticut location of
LEGO Systems, Inc., became employees
of Staff Management due to a change in
contracting firms.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending this certification to properly
reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers
employed at LEGO Systems, Inc.,
Enfield, Connecticut who were
adversely affected by a shift in
production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–60,688 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of LEGO Systems, Inc.,
including former on-site leased workers of
Adecco USA, Inc., currently employed with
Staff Management, Enfield, Connecticut, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 2, 2006,

Weyerhaeuser Company; Lebanon
Lumber Division; Lebanon, OR; Notice
of Negative Determination on
Reconsideration
On December 15, 2006, the
Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of Weyerhaeuser
Company, Lebanon Lumber Division,
Lebanon, Oregon (the subject firm). The
Department’s Notice of affirmative
determination was published in the
Federal Register on December 21, 2006
(71 FR 76700).
The initial denial of the workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) was
based on the Department’s findings that
the workers produce green softwood
stud lumber; the subject firm neither
imported green softwood stud lumber
nor shifted production of green
softwood stud lumber overseas during
the relevant period; and the subject
firm’s major declining customers had
negligible imports of green softwood
stud lumber during the surveyed
periods. The Department’s Notice of
determination was issued on October
19, 2006 and published in the Federal
Register on November 6, 2006 (71 FR
65004).
The request for reconsideration, filed
by the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America,
Carpenters Industrial Council, Local
2791 (Union), alleges that Weyerhaeuser
Company purchased a softwood lumber
production facility in Canada, inferring
that the subject firm has increased
imports of lumber or articles like or
directly competitive with lumber
produced at the subject facility.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department discussed
the allegations with the Union, sought
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
13529
clarification from the subject firm
regarding Weyerhaeuser Company’s
Canadian lumber production facilities,
and conducted a customer survey
regarding imports of stud lumber and
articles like or directly competitive with
stud lumber produced at the subject
firm during the relevant period.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department
determined that kiln-dried lumber and
engineered wood products are like or
directly competitive with green stud
lumber. As such, the Department
conducted an expanded customer
survey to determine whether the subject
firm’s major declining customers had
increased import purchases of green
stud lumber and articles like or directly
competitive with green stud lumber
produced at the subject firm. The survey
revealed no increased imports of green
stud lumber or articles like or directly
competitive with green stud lumber
during the surveyed periods.
The reconsideration investigation also
revealed that, contrary to the Union’s
allegation, Weyerhaeuser Company has
not purchased any lumber production
facilities in Canada during the relevant
period. Further, an August 23, 2006
Weyerhaeuser Company news release
(attached to the petition) states that the
subject firm was replaced by a new,
‘‘world-class’’ sawmill in the Lebanon,
Oregon area.
In the request for reconsideration, the
Union requested that the Department
review the articles submitted with the
petition and the findings by the U.S.
International Trade Commission
(USITC) regarding Investigation Nos.
701–TA–414 and 731–TA–928.
‘‘Increased imports means that
imports have increased either absolutely
or relative to domestic production
compared to a representative base
period. The representative base period
shall be one year consisting of the four
quarters immediately preceding the date
which is twelve months prior to the date
of the petition.’’ 29 CFR Section 90.2
Because the petition is dated September
13, 2006, the Department determines
that the relevant period is September
2005 through August 2006.
While ‘‘News Release,’’
Weyerhaeuser, August 23, 2006, states
that Weyerhaeuser Company ‘‘operates
lumber mills in eight states and four
provinces in Canada,’’ it does not infer
any shift of production to Canada or
increased imports from Canada. Further,
the article explains that the new
sawmill to which production is shifting
is also in the Lebanon, Oregon area.
While Weyerhaeuser Company’s
‘‘Forward Looking Statement’’ (July 25,
2006) acknowledges that Weyerhaeuser
