DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-36,108 & NAFTA 3,104]


Sherman Lumber Company, Sherman Station, ME; Notice of Negative 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On August 17, 1999, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on August 31, 1999 (64 FR 47521).
    The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Sherman Lumber 
because the ``contributed importantly'' group eligibility requirement 
of Section 222(3) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not met. 
The workers at the subject firm were engaged in employment related to 
the production of maple flooring.
    The petitioner asserted that sufficient customers have not been 
surveyed and requested that the Department survey bids lost by the 
subject firm.
    On reconsideration, the Department requested that the subject firm 
provide additional information about customers and lost bids. The 
Department conducted a survey of lost domestic bids by the subject 
firm. The respondents indicated that their purchase of maple flooring 
were from domestic manufacturers.

Conclusion

    After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative 
determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance 
for workers and former workers of Sherman Lumber, Sherman Station, 
Maine.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of April, 2000.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Program Manager, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
