Roseburg Forest Products Composite
Panels Division Missoula, Montana;
Notice of Negative Determination on
Reconsideration
On March 14, 2012, the Department of
Labor (Department) issued an
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration for the
workers and former workers of Roseburg
Forest Products, Composite Panels
Division, Missoula, Montana (subject
firm). The Department’s Notice was
published in the Federal Register on
March 26, 2012 (77 FR 17524). The
workers are engaged in employment
related to the production of
particleboard.
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 initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
findings that worker separations were
not attributable to either increased
imports by the subject firm or its
declining customers of particleboard (or
articles like or directly competitive with
particleboard), or a shift/acquisition of
the production of particleboard (or
articles like or directly competitive with

particleboard) to/from a foreign country
by the workers’ firm.
In the request for reconsideration, a
company official alleged that workers at
the subject firm were impacted by
increased import competition of
particleboard similar to workers at three
other subject firm facilities who are
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (Louisville, Missouri;
Orangeburg, South Carolina; and
Russellville, South Carolina).
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department reviewed
and confirmed information collected
during the initial investigation and
collected additional information from
the subject firm.
The reconsideration investigation
findings confirmed that neither the
subject firm nor its major declining
customers increased imports of articles
like or directly competitive with
particleboard in the period under
investigation. Additionally, the
reconsideration investigation findings
confirmed that the subject firm did not
shift the production of particleboard (or
a like or directly competitive article) to
a foreign country or acquire the
production of such articles from a
foreign country.
After careful review of the request for
reconsideration, previously-submitted
information, and information obtained
during the reconsideration
investigation, the Department
determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has not
been met.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that
the requirements of Section 222 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272, have not been met
and, therefore, deny the petition for
group eligibility of to apply for
adjustment assistance, in accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
2273.
Signed in Washington, DC, on this 25th
day of May, 2012.

Announcement Regarding States
Triggering ‘‘Off’’ in the Emergency
Unemployment Compensation 2008
Program and the Federal-State

Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Announcement regarding
states triggering ‘‘off’’ in the Emergency
Unemployment Compensation 2008
(EUC08) Program and the Federal-State
Extended Benefits (EB) Program.
The U.S. Department of Labor
(Department) produces trigger notices
indicating which states qualify for both
EB and EUC08 benefits, and provides
the beginning and ending dates of
payable periods for each qualifying
state. The trigger notices covering state
eligibility for these programs can be
found at: https://ows.doleta.gov/
unemploy/claims_arch.asp.
The following changes have occurred
since the publication of the last notice
regarding states’ EB and EUC08 trigger
status:
• Based on data released by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics on March 30,
2012, the three month average,
seasonally adjusted total unemployment
rate in Connecticut fell below the 8.0%
rate required to remain ‘‘on’’ in a high
unemployment period (HUP) within the
EB program. Claimants in this state were
eligible for up to 20 weeks of benefits
through April 21, 2012, but starting
April 22, 2012, the maximum potential
entitlement in the EB program for this
state decreased from 20 weeks to 13
weeks.
• Based on data released by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics on March 30,
2012, as well as revisions to prior year
data released on February 29, 2012,
Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana,
Maryland, and Washington no longer
meet one of the criteria to remain ‘‘on’’
in EB, i.e., having their current three
month average, seasonally adjusted total
unemployment rate be at least 110% of
one of the rates from a comparable
period in one of the three prior years.
This triggered these states ‘‘off’’ EB and
the end of the payable period for these
states in the EB program was the week
ending April 21, 2012.
• Although some states have triggered
‘‘off’’ of EB, they are currently triggered
‘‘on’’ to Tier 4 of the EUC08 program.
Under Public Law 112–96, new Tier 4
claimants in states that are triggered

Roseburg Forest Products Composite Panels Division Missoula,
Montana; Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration
On March 14, 2012, the Department of Labor (Department) issued an
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for
the workers and former workers of Roseburg Forest Products, Composite
Panels Division, Missoula, Montana (subject firm). The Department's
Notice was published in the Federal Register on March 26, 2012 (77 FR
17524). The workers are engaged in employment related to the production
of particleboard.
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 initial investigation resulted in a negative determination
based on the findings that worker separations were not attributable to
either increased imports by the subject firm or its declining customers
of particleboard (or articles like or directly competitive with
particleboard), or a shift/acquisition of the production of
particleboard (or articles like or directly competitive with
particleboard) to/from a foreign country by the workers' firm.
In the request for reconsideration, a company official alleged that
workers at the subject firm were impacted by increased import
competition of particleboard similar to workers at three other subject
firm facilities who are eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (Louisville, Missouri; Orangeburg, South Carolina; and
Russellville, South Carolina).
During the reconsideration investigation, the Department reviewed
and confirmed information collected during the initial investigation
and collected additional information from the subject firm.
The reconsideration investigation findings confirmed that neither
the subject firm nor its major declining customers increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with particleboard in the period
under investigation. Additionally, the reconsideration investigation
findings confirmed that the subject firm did not shift the production
of particleboard (or a like or directly competitive article) to a
foreign country or acquire the production of such articles from a
foreign country.
After careful review of the request for reconsideration,
previously-submitted information, and information obtained during the
reconsideration investigation, the Department determines that 29 CFR
90.18(c) has not been met.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that the requirements of Section
222 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272, have not been met and, therefore, deny
the petition for group eligibility of to apply for adjustment
assistance, in accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273.
