GOLD HILL, OREGON
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 separated;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles produced by the firm or appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on July 16, 2001 in response to a petition filed by workers on behalf of all workers at Greg Stout Logging, Inc., Gold Hill, Oregon.
The workers are engaged in employment related to the production of logs. The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been met.
The subject company does not import logs.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject company's major customers regarding their purchases of logs.
The survey revealed that the customers did not increase their purchases of logs during the period of sales and employment declines at the subject company.
Currently, there is a NAFTA-TAA petition pending for the workers at the subject company, NAFTA-5053.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Greg Stout Logging, Inc., Gold Hill, Oregon, are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 1st day of October 2001.
