DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

 Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-52,912]


Boise Cascade Corporation, Yakima, Washington; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By letter of December 3, 2003, the Western Council of Industrial 
Workers, Local Union 2739, requested administrative reconsideration of 
the Department of Labor's Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers of the subject firm.
    The negative determination was signed on October 20, 2003. The 
Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on 
November 6, 2003 (68 FR 62833).
    The petitioner asserts that the worker separations at the subject 
firm are the result of increased imports. The petitioner further 
asserts that the Department of Labor's interpretation of submitted 
documents was erroneous.
    The Department has reviewed the request for reconsideration and has 
determined that the petitioner has provided additional information. 
Therefore, the Department will conduct further investigation to 
determine if the workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade 
Act of 1974.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of 
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 10th day of February, 2004.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
