CROWN PACIFIC
INCLUDING TEMPORARY WORKERS OF
EXPRESS PERSONNEL
GILCHRIST, OREGON

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on April
14, 2003, applicable to workers of Crown Pacific, Gilchrist,
Oregon. The notice was published in the Federal Register on May
1, 2003 (68 FR 23323).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. Information
provided by the company shows that temporary workers of Express
Personnel were employed at Crown Pacific to produce dimensional
lumber at the Gilchrist, Oregon location of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include temporary workers of Express Personnel
employed at Crown Pacific, Gilchrist, Oregon.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers at the Gilchrist location of Crown Pacific who were
adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-50,560 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Crown Pacific, Gilchrist, Oregon, and
temporary workers of Express Personnel, producing
dimensional lumber at Crown Pacific, Gilchrist, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 11, 2002, through April
14, 2005, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 9th day of May 2003.

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, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its 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 Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
Workers at the subject firm were certified eligible to apply
for trade Adjustment assistance on October 10, 2000 (TA-W-37,889).
That certification expired October 10, 2002.
This investigation was initiated on January 15, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by a State Agency on behalf of workers
of Crown Pacific, Gilchrist, Oregon. The workers produce
dimensional lumber.



The investigation revealed that major customers of the subject
firm reduced purchases of lumber from Gilchrist, Oregon and
maintained a high level of import purchases during the relevant
period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with lumber produced at Crown Pacific,
Gilchrist, Oregon contributed importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production and
at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Crown Pacific, Gilchrist, Oregon who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 11, 2002 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 14th day of April 2003
