Louisiana Pacific Corporation, OSB-Woodland, Baileyville, ME; 
Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration of Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated January 24, 2005, the state official requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA). The negative determination was signed on January 10, 
2005 and will be soon published in the Federal Register.
    The workers of Louisiana Pacific Corporation, OSB-Woodland, 
Baileyville, Maine were certified eligible to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on January 10, 2005.
    The initial ATAA investigation determined that the skills of the 
subject worker group are easily transferable to other positions in the 
local area.
    The state official provided documentation with the request for 
reconsideration which contains evidence that the skills of the workers 
at the subject firm are not easily transferable in the local commuting 
area.
    Additional investigation has determined that the workers possess 
skills that are not easily transferable. A significant number or 
proportion of the worker group are age fifty or over. Competitive 
conditions within the industry are adverse.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that the requirements of Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers at the subject 
firm.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

    All workers of Louisiana Pacific Corporation, OSB-Woodland, 
Baileyville, Maine, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after November 18, 2003 through January 10, 2006, 
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of 
the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for 
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 25th day of January 2005.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
