Notice of Investigation Regarding Termination of Certification

TA-W-80,308, Roseburg Forest Products, Composite Panel Division, 
Including On-Site Leased Workers of Robert Half, Orangeburg, SC;
TA-W-80,308A, Roseburg Forest Products, Composite Panel Division, 
Including On-Site Leased Workers of Robert Half, Russellville, SC.

    On its own motion, the Department of Labor (Department) has 
initiated an investigation regarding the possible termination of 
certification regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former workers of 
Roseburg Forest Products, Composite Panel Division, Orangeburg, South 
Carolina and Russellville, South Carolina (hereafter collectively 
referred to as the subject firm). The certification was issued on 
August 12, 2011. The Department's Notice of determination was published 
in the Federal Register on September 2, 2011 (76 FR 54796).
    The certification was based on the Department's findings that 
aggregate industry imports of articles like or directly competitive 
with softwood and hardwood lumber products produced by the subject firm 
had contributed importantly to worker separations at the subject firm.
    Subsequent to the issuance of the certification, the Department 
received new information that the aggregate industry imports analyzed 
by the Department are not specific to the subset of the industry in 
which the subject firm is situated.
    Based on a careful review of new information and previously 
submitted information, the Department has reason to believe that the 
total or partial separations at the subject firm are no longer 
attributable to the conditions specified in Section 222 of the Trade 
Act of 1974, as amended, and 29 CFR 90(b). Consequently, the Department 
is conducting an investigation pursuant to 29 CFR 90.17.

Conclusion

    After careful review, I conclude that the evidence is of sufficient 
weight to justify the investigation regarding the termination of 
certification regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance applicable to workers and former workers of 
Roseburg Forest Products, Composite Panel Division, Orangeburg, South 
Carolina (TA-W-80,308) and Roseburg Forest Products, Composite Panel 
Division, Russellville, South Carolina (TA-W-80,308A).

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 17th day of July, 2012.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
