DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-38,400]


Potlatch Corporation, Sappi Fine Paper North America Including 
Temporary Workers of Olsten Temporary Services, Employed at Potlatch 
Corporation, Cloquet, MN; 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 of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on February 27, 2001, applicable 
to workers of Potlatch Corporation, Cloquet, Minnesota. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on April 5, 2001 (66 FR 18117). The 
certification was amended on April 13, 2001 to include leased workers 
of Olsten Temporary Services employed at Potlatch Corporation, Cloquet, 
Minnesota. The notice was published in the Federal Register on April 
19, 2001 (66 FR 20165).
    At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of wood products, including paper, oxboard, paper 
board, tissue and two by fours.
    The company reports that Sappi Fine Paper North America purchased 
Potlatch Corporation on May 13, 2002. Information shows that employees 
separated from Potlatch after the May 13, 2002 selling date, were 
separated as employees of Sappi Fine Paper and, therefore, were not 
found eligible for trade adjustment assistance under the current 
certification covering Potlatch employees.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Potlatch Corporation who were adversely affected by 
increased imports.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification 
determination to properly reflect this matter.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-38,400 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Potlatch Corporation, Sappi Fine Paper North 
America, including temporary workers of Olsten Temporary Services, 
Duluth, Minnesota, engaged in the production of wood products, 
including paper, oxboard, paper board, tissue and two by fours at 
Potlatch Corporation, Cloquet, Minnesota, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after November 27, 1999, 
through February 27, 2003, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 26th day of September, 2002.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
