Notice of Revised Determination
on Reopening

On October 18, 2000, the company requested Administrative
Reconsideration for workers and former workers of the subject
firm engaged in the production of stud lumber.
The initial investigation resulted in a negative
determination issued on October 3, 2000, because imports did not
contribute importantly to the worker separations. The notice
soon will be published in the Federal Register.
New information submitted to the Department by the company
and additional information supplied by a primary customer of the
subject firm revealed that the customer has increased purchases
of imported stud lumber while reducing purchases from the subject
firm.
Conclusion
After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on
reopening, it is concluded that increased imports of articles
like or directly competitive with apparel produced by the subject
firm contributed importantly to the decline in sales and to the
total or partial separation of workers of the subject firm. In
accordance with the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make
the following revised determination:
"All workers of Wallowa Forest Products, Wallowa, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after June 27, 1999 through two years from the date of
this certification are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
