Blue Heron Paper Company, Including Workers Whose Unemployment 
Insurance (UI) Wages Are Paid Through Barrett Business Services, Inc., 
Oregon City, OR; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply 
for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended 
(``Act''),

[[Page 27367]]

19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on May 27, 2010, 
applicable to workers of Blue Heron Paper Company, Oregon City, Oregon. 
The notice was published in the Federal Register on June 16, 2010 (75 
FR 34174).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in activities related to the production of pulp and paper.
    Information shows that Blue Heron Paper Company, through 
bankruptcy, was assigned a trustee, Barrett Business Services, Inc., to 
provide payroll services while preparing for closure. Some workers 
separated from employment at the Oregon City, Oregon location of the 
subject firm had their wages reported under a separated unemployment 
insurance (UI) tax account under the name Barrett Business Services, 
Inc.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by increased 
imports of pulp and paper.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,448 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Blue Heron Paper Company, including workers whose 
unemployment insurance (UI) wages are paid through Barrett Business 
Services, Inc., Oregon City, Oregon, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after February 1, 2009 through May 
27, 2012, and all workers in the group threatened with total or 
partial separation from employment on the 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 27th day of April, 2011.
 Michael W. Jaffe,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
