Boise Cascade, LLC, Wood Products Division, La Grande Lumber
Mill, La Grande, OR; Boise Cascade, LLC, Wood Products Division, La
Grande Particleboard, La Grande, OR; Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration
By application postmarked October 24, 2008, the Oregon AFL-CIO
Labor Liaison and the Carpenter's Industrial Council requested
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm. The determination was issued on
October 1, 2008. The Notice of Determination was published in the
Federal Register on October 20, 2008 (73 FR 62323).
The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination
based on the finding that imports of softwood lumber and particleboard
did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject
firm and no shift of production to a foreign source occurred.
In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided
additional information pertaining to imports of softwood lumber and
particleboard and requested further investigation concerning the import
impact on production at the subject firm.
The Department has carefully reviewed the request for
reconsideration and the existing record and has determined that the
Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the
workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974.
Conclusion
After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S.
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore,
granted.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of November 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
