Certification 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 eligibility 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. It is determined in this case that all of the requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated on June 25, 2001 in response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at California Cedar Products Company, Roseburg Sawmill, Roseburg, Oregon.
The workers were engaged in activity related to the production of commercial lumber, pencil stock, and fencing. The workers were not separately identifiable by product line.
The investigation revealed that the subject facility closed on July 1, 2001.
The investigation also revealed that the subject company replaced production of pencil stock with import purchases.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject company's major customers regarding their purchases of commercial lumber.
The survey revealed increased customer import purchases of commercial lumber during the relevant time periods.
Currently, there is a NAFTA-TAA petition investigation pending for the workers at the subject company, NAFTA-4988.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with pencil stock and commercial lumber produced at California Cedar Products Company, Roseburg Sawmill, Roseburg, Oregon, contributed importantly to the decline in sales and production and to the total or partial separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of California Cedar Products Company, Roseburg Sawmill, Roseburg, Oregon, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after June 7, 2000 through two years from the date of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 4th day of December 2001.
