Portac, Incorporated Tacoma, WA; Revised Determination on 
Reopening

    On August 29, 1994, the Department own its own motion reopened its 
investigation for workers the subject firm. The notice has not been 
published in the Federal Register.
    Investigation findings show that the subject firm produces softwood 
lumber.
    Investigation findings show substantial worker separations in the 
first half of 1994.
    New findings on reopening show a decline in sales in and production 
in 1993 compared with 1992 and January-June 1994 compared with the same 
period in 1993. Other findings on reopening show that a customer 
accounting for the preponderance of the subject firm's sales decline in 
January-June 1994 increased its import of softwood lumber while 
decreasing its purchases from the subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, 
it is concluded that workers and former workers of Portac, 
Incorporated, Tacoma, Washington were adversely affected by increased 
imports of articles that are like or directly competitive with the 
softwood lumber produced at the subject firm. In accordance with the 
provisions of the Act, I make the following revised determination for 
workers of Portac, Incorporated, Tacoma, Washington.

    All workers of Portac, Incorporated, Tacoma, Washington who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
June 15, 1993 through two years from the date of certification are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
