Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Bellingham, WA; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On October 27, 1999, the Department issued a Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration in response to 
an appeal filed by the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers on 
behalf of Local 194. The notice will soon be published in the Federal 
Register.
    The workers at the subject firm produced liquefied chlorine gas and 
a byproduct, liquid caustic soda. The workers are not separately 
identifiable by product.
    On reconsideration, the Department obtained evidence that the 
subject firm increased its reliance on imports from Canada of articles 
like or directly competitive with chlorine.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles from 
Canada like or directly competitive with chlorine, contributed 
importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or 
partial separation of workers of Georgia-Pacific Corporation, 
Bellingham, Washington. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I 
make the following determination:

    All workers of Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Bellingham, 
Washington, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after June 16, 1998 through two years from the date 
of the certification, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under 
Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 7th day of December 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
