Weyerhaeuser Company Western Lumber, Kamiah, Idaho; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reopening

    On May 24, 1996, the Department issued a Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, 
applicable to all workers of Weyerhaeuser Company, Western Lumber, 
located in Kamiah, Idaho. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on June 6, 1996 (61 FR 28900).

[[Page 34879]]

    Based on new information received from a customer of the subject 
firm, the Department, on its own motion, reviewed the findings of the 
investigation. New findings show that the customer increased import 
purchases of lumber from Mexico and Canada in 1995 compared to 1994. 
Sales, production and employment declined during the relevant period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reopening, 
I conclude that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with lumber contributed importantly to the declines in 
sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers 
of Weyerhaeuser Company, Western Lumber, Kamiah, Idaho. In accordance 
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Weyerhaeuser Company, Western Lumber, Kamiah, 
Idaho who became totally or partially separated from employment on 
or after March 19, 1995 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under 
Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 17th day of June 1996.
Ruseell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
