DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-52,773]


Lebanite Corporation, Hardboard Division, Now Known as Oregon 
Panel Products, Inc., Lebanon, OR; Notice of Termination of Amendment 
to Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued an Amended Certification of 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on June 14, 2004 
applicable to workers of Lebanite Corporation, Hardboard Division, Now 
Known As Oregon Panel Products, Inc., Lebanon, Oregon. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2004 (69 FR 39971).
    At the request of the petitioners, the Department amended the 
certification

[[Page 51107]]

for workers of the subject facility to include workers of what was 
thought to be a successor company, Oregon Panel Products, LLC, Lebanon, 
Oregon. The workers were engaged in the production of high density 
hardboard.
    New information shows that although operations at the subject 
facility were undertaken by Oregon Panel Products, LLC, there is no 
successor-in-interest status. There was a three month break in 
operations between the shutdown of the Lebanite Corporation, and the 
start up of Oregon Panel Products. Workers separated from employment at 
the subject facility had their wages reported under a separate 
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Oregon Panel Products, LLC.
    Furthermore, the workers of Oregon Panel Products, LLC, Lebanon 
Oregon are covered by another petition instituted on June 2, 2004 (TA-
W-55,009).
    Accordingly, the Department is terminating the amendment to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The amendment to TA-W-52,773 is hereby terminated, and the original 
notice applicable to TA-W-52,773 is hereby re-issued as follows:

      All workers of Lebanite Corporation, Hardboard 
Division, Lebanon, Oregon, who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after November 1, 2002, through October 29, 
2005, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 
223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 5th day of August 2004.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
