DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-40,331]


Georgia-Pacific West, Camas, WA; Notice of Negative Determination 
on Reconsideration

    On April 10, 2002, 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 May 2, 2002 (67 FR 22116).
    The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Georgia-Pacific 
West, Camas, Washington because the ``contributed importantly'' group 
eligibility requirement of Section 222(3) of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended, was not met. The investigation revealed that customers did not 
increase their import purchases of technical specialty paper during the 
relevant period. The workers at the subject firm were engaged in 
employment related to the production of technical specialty paper.
    On reconsideration, as requested by the Association of Western Pulp 
Paper Workers, the Department surveyed additional customers of Georgia 
Pacific-West regarding their purchases of technical specialty paper for 
1999, 2000 and 2001. The survey revealed that none of these customers 
purchased imports of technical specialty paper during the relevant 
period.

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 Georgia-Pacific West, Camas, 
Washington.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of May 2002.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
