DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[NAFTA-01341 and TA-W-33,029]
Willamette Industries, Incorporated, Dallas, OR, Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration
By letter of February 4, 1997, the Oregon AFL-CIO together with the
Western Council of Industrial Workers Local #2714, United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners of America, requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Notice of Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA-Transitional
Adjustment Assistance applicable to workers of the subject firm. The
denial notice was signed on January 21, 1997, and published in the
Federal Register on February 13, 1997 (62 FR 6804).
The petitioner presents evidence that the Department's survey of
customers of Willamette Industries was incomplete.
On March 17, 1997, the Department issued a Negative Determination
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
applicable to the workers of Willamette Industries, Incorporated,
Plywood Division, Dallas, Oregon. The notice will soon be published in
the Federal Register. The Department has determined that in this case,
the evidence presented in the request for reconsideration of the NAFTA
petition is also applicable to the TAA petition. Therefore, this notice
has been expanded to include the TAA petition.
Conclusion
After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 24th day of March 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
