    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 Certification of Eligibility to Apply for 
NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on December 7, 2001, 
applicable to workers of Willamette Industries, Inc., Korpine Division, 
Bend, Oregon. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
December 26, 2001 (66 FR 66427). The certification was amended on 
February 4, 2002 to include workers of the Particleboard Sales Office 
of the subject firm located in Albany, Oregon. The notice was published 
in the Federal Register on February 13, 2002 (67 FR 6753).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Information provided by

and the Particleboard Sales Office, now known as Weyerhaeuser Company 
who were affected by increased customer imports of industrial pine 
particleboard from Canada and Mexico.
