Fraser Timber Limited Including On-Site Leased Workers of Tempo 
Employment Services; Ashland, ME; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration

    On April 28, 2008, the Department 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 Register on May 7, 2008 (73 FR 25772).
    The previous investigation initiated on January 23, 2008, resulted 
in a negative determination issued on March 14, 2008, that was based on 
the finding that imports of lumber and woodchips did not contribute 
importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift in 
production to a foreign source occurred. The denial notice was 
published in the Federal Register on March 26, 2008 (73 FR 16064).
    In the request for reconsideration, the company official provided 
additional information regarding the subject firm's customers and also 
requested the Department of Labor conduct further analysis of imports 
of lumber and woodchips.
    The Department 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 
reliance on imports of lumber and woodchips 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.
    The investigation revealed that Fraser Timber Limited leased 
workers from Tempo Employment Services to work on-site at the Ashland, 
Maine, plant.

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 Fraser Timber Limited, 
Ashland, Maine, 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 Fraser Timber Limited, including on-site leased 
workers of Tempo Employment Services, Ashland, Maine, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 
19, 2007, 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 13th day of May 2008.
 Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
