[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 21 (Friday, January 31, 1997)] [Notices] [Pages 4798-4799] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-2414] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration Crown Pacific Limited Partnership, Redmond, OR [TA-W-32,608 and NAFTA--01149] Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration On December 2, 1996, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination [[Page 4799]] Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the Federal Register on December 13, 1996 (61 FR 65598). Investigation findings show that the workers are primarily engaged in the production of plywood. The workers were denied TAA because the ``contributed importantly'' test of the Group Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met. The workers were denied NAFTA-TAA on the basis that there was no shift in production to Mexico or Canada, nor were there company or customer imports of plywood from Mexico or Canada. The Lumber and Sawmill Workers, Local Union No. 1017, submitted additional information showing that increased import competition from foreign made oriented strand board (OSB) contributed to worker separations at the Crown Pacific Limited Partnership production facility. To determine impact of imports of OSB on worker separations at Redmond, the Department conducted a survey the subject firm's major declining customers. New findings on reconsideration show that some customers continued reliance on or increased imports of OSB from Canada during the time period relevant to the investigation. Conclusion After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reconsideration, it is concluded that the workers of Crown Pacific Limited Partnership, Redmond, OR were adversely affected by increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with plywood produced at the subject firm. All workers of Crown Pacific Limited Partnership, Redmond, OR who became totally or partially separated from employment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974;'' and All workers of Crown Pacific Limited Partnership, Redmond, OR who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after July 24, 1995 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974. Signed at Washington, DC this 13th day of January 1997. Russell T. Kile, Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
