DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

[NAFTA-02379; 02379B; 02379C]

 
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA 
Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter 2, Title II, of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on 
August 10, 1998, applicable to all workers of Boise Cascade, Emmett 
Plywood, Emmett, Idaho. The notice will be published soon in the 
Federal Register.
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that 
worker separations occurred at the subject firm's Cascade, Idaho plant. 
The company also reports that worker separations will occur at the 
Horseshoe Bend, Idaho facility when it closes September 30, 1998. The 
workers at the Cascade and Horseshoe Bend, Idaho facilities process 
logs into green lumber that is used in the manufacturing of plywood. 
The production of green lumber at Boise Cascade's Cascade and Horseshoe 
Bend, Idaho plants contribute to the production of plywood at Boise 
Cascade's Emmett Plywood, Emmett, Idaho plant. Accordingly, the 
Department is amending the certification to cover workers at the 
subject firms' Cascade and Horseshoe Bend, Idaho plants.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Boise Cascade adversely affected by imports from Canada.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-02379 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Boise Cascade, Emmett Plywood, Emmett, Idaho 
(NAFTA-02379), Cascade, Idaho (NAFTA-02379B) and Horseshoe Bend, 
Idaho (NAFTA-02379C) who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after May 5, 1997 through August 10, 2000 are 
eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act 
of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 3rd day of September, 1998.
Linda G. Poole,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
