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 separat-
ed;
(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 March 18, 2002 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Partridge
River, Inc., Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota. The workers were engaged in
the production of hardwood dimensional lumber. The investigation
revealed that criterion (3) has not been met.
The investigation revealed that the separation of workers at
Hoyt Lakes was caused by a catastrophic fire that caused an
abrupt cessation of all production of dimensional lumber.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Partridge
River, Inc., Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota are denied eligibility to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 4th day of June, 2002.
