DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-70,305]


Shorewood Packaging; a Business Unit of International Paper; 
Springfield, OR; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated January 14, 2010, the petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
determination was issued on December 11, 2009. The Notice of 
Determination was published in the Federal Register on January 25, 2010 
(75 FR 3932).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of paperboard packaging and like or 
directly competitive products did not contribute importantly to workers 
separations at the subject firm and no shift in production occurred 
during the relevant period.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information and alleged that Shorewood Packaging shifted 
production from the subject facility abroad.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record and has determined that 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 U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th day of January 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
