[TA-W-41,614 and TA-W-41,614A]


Great Northern Paper, Inc., Millinocket, ME, Great Northern 
Paper, Inc., East Millinocket, ME; Amended Certification Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on July 15, 2002, applicable to 
workers of Great Northern Paper, Inc., Millinocket, Maine. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on July 29, 2002 (67 FR 49039).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that 
workers engaged in employment related to the production of groundwood 
pulp were separated from employment at the subject firm's East 
Millinocket, Maine facility. A meaningful portion of the groundwood 
pulp produced at Great Northern Paper, Inc., East Millinocket, Maine 
was consumed by the subject firm's mill in Millinocket, Maine, for its 
production of coated and uncoated specialty paper.
    Workers at Great Northern Paper, Inc., East Millinocket, Maine, 
also produce paper for telephone directories and are separately 
identifiable from those producing groundwood pulp. There was no 
allegation that imports of paper for telephone directories contributed 
to worker separations.
    The Department is amending the certification to cover workers at 
Great Northern Paper, Inc., East Millinocket, Maine, engaged in 
employment related to the production of groundwood pulp.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-41,614 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Great Northern Paper, Inc., Millinocket, Maine 
(TA-W-41,614); and workers engaged in employment related to the 
production of groundwood pulp at Great Northern Paper, East 
Millinocket (TA-W-41,616A) who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after May 17, 2001, through July 15, 2004, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington DC, this 31st day of July, 2002.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
