Stimson Lumber Company, Clatskanie,
OR; Notice of Negative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application dated March 11, 2010,
the President of Woodworkers, Local
Lodge W536, of the International
Association of Machinists and
Woodworkers requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department’s
negative determination regarding
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA), applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The determination was issued on
February 19, 2010, and the Department’s
Notice of determination was published
in the Federal Register on March 12,
2010 (75 FR 11925).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) if in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The negative determination was based
on the finding that there had been no
increase in imports by the company or
by the company’s customers of the
articles produced by the subject firm;
that there was no shift of production or
acquisition abroad of the articles
produced by the subject firm; that
aggregate imports of articles like and
directly competitive with those
produced by the subject firm had
declined absolutely and also relative to
domestic consumption of those
products; and that the separations at the
subject facility were not the result of
loss of business by the subject firm as
either a supplier of components to, or a
downstream finisher of articles
produced by, a customer that employed
a worker group that is currently eligible
to apply for TAA.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner stated that the workers of the
subject firm should be eligible for TAA
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:00 Jul 15, 2010
Jkt 220001
because the subject firm is ‘‘in direct
competition to major timber firms in
Canada [and] a portion of that timber
finds its way across the border and into
the U.S. market.’’ The petitioner also
alleged that ‘‘During the pertinent time
period Stimson lumber has also
marketed Hampton lumber under the
Stimson label’’ and that Hampton
Lumber (certification issued on
September 17, 2009; TA–W–72,129)
therefore ‘‘is an upstream supplier of
Stimson Lumber.’’
During the initial investigation, the
Department received an attestation from
a company official that the subject firm
did not shift to a foreign country or
acquire from a foreign country softwood
dimensional lumber (or like or directly
competitive articles) and did not
increase its imports of softwood
dimensional lumber (or like or directly
competitive articles).
During the initial investigation, the
Department conducted a customer
survey (which accounted for over 65%
of the subject firm’s declining sales and/
or production) that showed that the
surveyed customers did not increase
their imports of softwood dimensional
lumber (or like or directly competitive
articles).
During the initial investigation, the
Department obtained data from the U.S.
Census Bureau, the U.S. Department of
Commerce, and the U.S. International
Trade Commission that showed that
aggregate imports of softwood
dimensional lumber declined both
absolutely and relative to domestic
consumption.
To be eligible for a secondary
certification, the subject firm must
provide a component part for, or be
downstream finisher for, an article
produced by the firm that employed a
worker group that is currently eligible to
apply for TAA.
The petitioner’s assertion that the
subject firm markets some of the
products of Hampton Lumber cannot be
a basis for secondary certification
because the lumber at issue is not a
component part of lumber that was the
basis of the certification of TA–W–
72,129 and because the marketing of the
Hampton Lumber does not constitute
downstream production.
The petitioner did not supply facts
not previously considered; nor provide
additional documentation indicating
that there was either (1) a mistake in the
determination of facts not previously
considered or (2) a misinterpretation of
facts or of the law justifying
reconsideration of the initial
determination.
After careful review of the request for
reconsideration, the Department
PO 00000
Frm 00100
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
41529
determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has not
been met.
Conclusion
After review of the application and
investigative findings, I conclude that
there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
facts which would justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 8th day of
July, 2010.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
