[TA-W-34,231 and NAFTA--02180]
Eagle Veneer, Incorporated Harrisburg Plywood Division,
Harrisburg, Oregon; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration
On August 27, 1998, the Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable to
workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on September 4, 1998 (63 FR 47325).
The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Eagle Veneer,
Inc. Harrisburg Plywood Division, Harrisburg, Oregon, producing CDX
plywood because the ``contributed importantly'' group eligibility
requirement of Section 222(3) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was
not met.
On reconsideration, the Department conducted further survey
analysis of major customers of Eagle Veneer, Harrisburg Plywood
Division. The survey revealed that former major customers reduced
purchases of CDX plywood from the Harrisburg plant and increased
purchases of imports from Canada of oriented strand board (OSB) similar
to the articles produced at the Harrisburg plant.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained on
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports from Canada of
articles like or directly competitive with CDX plywood, contributed
importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or
partial separation of workers of Eagle Veneer, Incorporated, Harrisburg
Plywood Division. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
All workers of Eagle Veneer, Inc., Harrisburg Plywood Division,
Harrisburg, Oregon who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 11, 1996 are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974;
and
All workers of Eagle Veneer, Inc., Harrisburg Plywood Division,
Harrisburg, Oregon who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 11, 1996 are eligible to apply for
NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 6th day of October 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
