[Docket No. TA-W-38,717; TA-W-38,717A]


International Paper, Costigan Mill, Milford, ME; International 
Paper Passadumkeag Mill Passadumkeag, ME; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On June 25, 2001, the Department of Labor issued a notice of 
affirmative determination regarding application for reconsideration of 
the denial of Trade Adjustment Assistance for workers of the subject 
firm. The notice was published in the Federal Register on July 11, 2001 
(66 FR 36331).
    The workers at International Paper, Costigan Mill, Milford, Maine 
and the Passadumkeag Mill in Passadumkeag, Maine, produced stud grade 
lumber. The petition was denied because the contributed importantly 
test of the group eligibility requirements of section 222 of the Trade 
Act of 1974, was not met.
    On reconsideration, the Department conducted additional customer 
surveys. The surveys revealed that customers increased import purchases 
of stud grade lumber while reducing purchases from International 
Paper's Costigan and Passadumkeag mills.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with stud grade lumber produced by the workers of 
International Paper, Costigan Mill, Milford, Maine, and Passadumkeag 
Mill, Passadumkeag, Maine, contributed importantly to the declines in 
sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers 
of the subject firms. In accordance with the provisions of the Trade 
Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of International Paper, Costigan Mill, Milford, 
Maine, and Passadumkeag Mill, Passadumkeag, Maine, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 
5, 2000, through two years from the date of this revised 
determination, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 25th day of September 2001.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade, Adjustment Assistance.
