Weyerhaeuser NR Company, Raymond
Lumbermill, Raymond, WA; Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated June 23, 2009,
the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers,
Woodworkers District Lodge W1
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 June 5,
2009. The Notice of Determination was
published in the Federal Register on
June 18, 2009 (74 FR 28961).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of softwood
dimensional lumber (hemlock) 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 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
