Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 79 / Wednesday, April 23, 2008 / Notices
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination signed on March
18, 2008, was based on the finding that
imports of kraft paper did not contribute
importantly to worker separations at the
subject plant and there was no shift in
production of kraft paper from the
subject firm abroad. The denial notice
will soon be published in the Federal
Register.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding the subject firm’s
customers and also requested the
Department of Labor conduct further
analysis of imports that are like or
directly competitive with kraft paper.
The Department further reviewed
responses of a sample customer survey
conducted during the initial
investigation. On further analysis, it has
been determined that a significant
number of customers increased their
imports of kraft paper while decreasing
their purchases from the subject firm
from 2006 to 2007.
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
kraft paper produced at Longview Fibre
Paper and Packaging, Inc., Longview
Mill, Longview, Washington,
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 Longview Fibre Paper and
Packaging, Inc., Longview Mill, formerly
Longview Fibre Company, Longview,
Washington, engaged in production of kraft

paper, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after
December 27, 2006, 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.

issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application on
Reconsideration applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The notice was published in the Federal

The previous investigation initiated
on December 27, 2007, resulted in a

finding that, during the relevant period,
the subject firm did not shift production
of magnetic components and assemblies
to a foreign country and did not import
magnetic components and assemblies.
The determination also stated that the
workers’ separations were attributed to
a domestic shift of production. The

(73 FR 9836).
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding production at the
