Weyerhaeuser Green Mountain Lumber
Mill, Toutle, WA; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On February 29, 2008, the Department
of Labor (Department) issued an
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
regarding workers’ eligibility to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
and Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) applicable to
workers and former workers of
Weyerhaeuser Green Mountain Lumber
Mill, Toutle, Washington (the subject
firm). The Department’s Notice of
Affirmative Determination regarding the
request for reconsideration was
published in the Federal Register on
March 7, 2007 (73 FR 12463). Workers
produce rough sawn softwood
dimensional lumber.
The initial negative determination
was based on the Department’s findings
that sales and production at the subject
firm remained stable during the relevant
period compared to previous year; the
subject firm did not shift production to
a foreign country; and the subject firm
did not import articles like or directly
competitive with the lumber produced
by the subject workers. The
determination also stated that the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
Date of
nstitution
Subject firm (petitioners)
16:15 Apr 23, 2008
Jkt 214001
predominant cause of worker
separations is related to the transfer of
production to another, domestic,
affiliated facility.
In the request for reconsideration,
dated February 28, 2008, the IAM
Woodworkers Local W536 (the Union)
alleged that increased imports by
Weyerhaeuser Corporation of articles
like or directly competitive with
softwood dimensional lumber produced
at the subject firm contributed
importantly to the workers’ separations
(‘‘Weyerhaeuser Corporation is the
largest producer of softwood
dimensional lumber in the United States
with significant production facilities in
Canada and worldwide’’).
To be certified for TAA on the basis
of increased imports, the petitioning
worker group must meet the criteria set
forth under Section 223(a)(2)(A) of the
Trade Act of 1974:
A. A significant number or proportion of
the workers in such workers’ firm, or an
appropriate subdivision of the firm, have
become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially
separated; and
B. The sales or production, or both, of such
firm or subdivision have decreased
absolutely; and
C. Increases of imports of articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced
by such firm or subdivision have contributed
importantly to such workers’ separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in
sales or production of such firm or
subdivision.
After careful review of previouslysubmitted information, the Department
determines that Section 223(a)(2)(A)(A)
and Section 223(a)(2)(A)(B) were met.

Accordingly, the Department’s
reconsideration investigation focused on
whether the petitioning worker group
satisfied Section 223(a)(2)(A)(C).
Under 29 CFR 90.16 (Determinations
and certifications of eligibility to apply
for adjustment assistance), certification
for TAA may be issued if a significant
number or proportion of the workers in
the subject firm (or an appropriate
subdivision of the firm) have become or
are threatened to become totally or
partially separated; sales and/or
production of the subject firm (or an
appropriate subdivision of the firm)
have decreased absolutely; and
increases (absolute or relative) of
imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by
the subject firm (or an appropriate
subdivision of the firm) contributed
importantly to the workers’ separation,
or threat of separation, and to such
decline in sales or production. The
regulation also states that ‘‘contributed
importantly means a cause which is
importantly but not necessarily more
important than any other cause.’’
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department
determined that there were no increased
imports of softwood dimensional
lumber during 2007 from 2006 by either
the subject firm or Weyerhaeuser.
Rather, imports of softwood
dimensional lumber by Weyerhaeuser
decreased in 2007 from 2006 levels.
On reconsideration, the Department
confirmed that the predominant cause
of the workers’ separations was the shift
of production to another, newly-built,
domestic facility. New information
