Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of eligi-
bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance,
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially sepa
rated;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdi-vision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appro-priate subdivision have contributed importantly
to the separations, or threat thereof, and to the
absolute decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on October 10, 2000 in
response to a petition filed by the company on behalf of workers
at GP Timber, Central Point, Oregon. The workers are engaged in
logging.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The Department conducted a survey of major customers of the
subject firm. The survey revealed that none of the customers
purchase imported logs.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of GP
Timber, Central Point, Oregon are denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
