BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P
Weyerhaeuser NR Company, I–Level
Lumber—Aberdeen Division;
Aberdeen, WA; Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated May 19, 2009,
the Carpenters Industrial Council/
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America, Local Union 3099
requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on May 8,
2009. The Notice of Determination will
soon be published in the Federal
Register.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of softwood
dimensional lumber, specifically
Western Hemlock and Douglas Fir did
not contribute importantly to worker
separations at the subject firm and no
shift of production to a foreign source
occurred.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding imports of
softwood dimensional lumber and
alleged that the subject firm might have
increased imports of softwood
dimensional lumber in the relevant
period. The petitioner also alleged that
the subject firm might be eligible for
TAA as secondary downstream
producer of trade certified primary firm.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act
of 1974.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the U.S. Department
of Labor’s prior decision. The
application is, therefore, granted.
