[NAFTA-04631]


Willamette Industries, Inc., Foster Plywood Division; Now Known 
as Weyerhaeuser Company, Sweet Home, OR; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA--Transitional Adjustment 
Assistance

    In accordance with section 250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title 
II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the 
Department of Labor issued a Revised Determination on Reconsideration 
on September 28, 2001, applicable to workers of Willamette industries, 
Inc., Foster Plywood Division, Sweet Home, Oregon. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2001, (FR 66 53253).
    At the request of the state agency, the Department reviewed the 
revised determination for workers of the subject firm. Information 
provided by the State and the company shows that Weyerhaeuser Company 
purchased Willamette Industries, Inc. in March 2002 and is known as 
Weyerhaeuser Company.
    Information also shows that workers separated from employment at 
the subject firm, had their wages reported under a separate 
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Weyerhaeuser Company.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the revised determination 
to properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's revised determination is to include 
all workers of Willamette Industries, Inc., Foster Plywood Division, 
now known as Weyerhaeuser Company who were affected by increased 
imports of veneer core form Canada.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-04631 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers engaged in the production of veneer core at 
Willamette Industries, Inc., Foster Plywood Division, now known as 
Weyerhaeuser Company, Sweet Home, Oregon, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after March 1, 2000, 
through September 28, 2003, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA 
under section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 4th day of April, 2002.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
