Columbia Forest Products, Inc., Presque Isle Division; Presque 
Isle, Maine; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On October 7, 2010, the Department of Labor issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of Columbia Forest Products, Inc., Presque Isle 
Division, Presque Isle, Maine (subject firm). The Department's Notice 
of determination was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 
2010 (75 FR 65514). Workers produced hardwood veneer. The worker group 
does not include leased workers or workers supplied from a temporary 
staffing agency.
    A careful review of the previously-submitted customer surveys and 
new information obtained during the reconsideration investigation, 
including U.S. aggregate imports of like or directly competitive 
articles and other available material, revealed that, during the period 
of investigation, imports of articles like or directly competitive with 
hardwood veneer produced by the subject firm have increased, and that 
the increased imports of hardwood veneer (or like or directly 
competitive articles) contributed importantly to the worker group 
separations and sales/production declines at the subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained during the 
reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of Columbia 
Forest Products, Inc., Presque Isle Division, Presque Isle, Maine, who 
are engaged in employment related to the production of hardwood veneer, 
meet the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of 
the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 
19 U.S.C. 2273, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Columbia Forest Products, Inc., Presque Isle 
Division, Presque Isle, Maine, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after May 18, 2008, through two 
years from the date of this revised certification, and all workers 
in the group threatened with total or partial separation from 
employment on date of certification through two years from the date 
of certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 23rd day of March, 2011.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
