Determination on Reconsideration

    By application dated September 15, 2009, a company official 
requested administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative 
determination regarding eligibility for workers and former workers of 
the subject firm to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
signed on September 4, 2009, was based on the finding that imports of 
softwood lumber did not contribute importantly to worker separations at 
the subject firm and there was no shift in production of softwood 
lumber from the subject firm abroad. The denial notice will soon be 
published in the Federal Register.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner requested the 
Department of Labor conduct further analysis of the data reported by 
the customers of the subject firm and imports that are like or directly 
competitive with softwood lumber.
    The Department further reviewed responses of a sample customer 
survey conducted during the initial investigation. On further analysis, 
it has been determined that the survey revealed that customers 
increased their reliance on imported softwood lumber, while decreasing 
their purchases from the subject firm from 2007 to 2008.
    The investigation also revealed that employment, sales and 
production at Three Rivers Timber, Inc., Kamiah, Idaho declined

reconsideration, I determine that workers of Three Rivers Timber, Inc.,
