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 Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on June 2,
2003, applicable to workers of Roseburg Forest Products,
Headquartered in Dillard, Oregon. The notice will be published
soon in the Federal Register.
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of plywood.
New findings show that worker separations occurred at the
Machine Shop and the Wood Department of Roseburg Forest Products,
Dillard, Oregon. Workers at the Machine Shop build and tool
equipment for the saw mills and plywood Departments of the
subject firm. Workers at the Wood Department provide logs to the
many plywood Departments of the subject firm.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
include workers at the Machine Shop and the Wood Department at
Roseburg Forest Products and to correct the city location of the
Plywood Division, Plant 3 to read Roseburg, Oregon.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of Roseburg Forest Products who were adversely
affected by increased imports.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-51,429 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Roseburg Forest Products, Headquartered in
Dillard, Oregon (TA-W-51,429), Plywood Division – Plants 1 &
2, Dillard, Oregon (TA-W-51429A), Plywood Division – Plant
3, Roseburg, Oregon (TA-W-51,429B), Plywood Division – Plant
4, Riddle, Oregon (TA-W-51429C), Plywood Division – Plant 6,
Coquille, Oregon (TA-W-51,429D), Plywood Division – Plant 7,
Weed, California (TA-W-51,429E), Machine Shop, Dillard,
Oregon (TA-W-51,429F), and Wood Department, Dillard, Oregon
(TA-W-51,429G), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after April 2, 2002, through June 2,
2005, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

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.
The investigation was initiated on April 4, 2003, in response
to a petition filed by the American Federation of Labor & Congress
of Industrial Organizations, Local 2449, on behalf of workers of
Roseburg Forest Products, Dillard, Oregon; Green, Oregon; Riddle,
Oregon; Coquille, Oregon and Weed, California. The workers are
engaged in the production of plywood.
Sales of the subject firm declined in January through April,
2003 compared with the same period one year earlier.
The Department of Labor surveyed major customers of the
subject firm regarding their purchases of plywood in 2002-2002 and
January through April, 2002-2003. The survey revealed that
customers increased imports of plywood during the relevant periods.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with plywood produced at Roseburg
Forest Products, Dillard, Oregon; Green, Oregon; Riddle, Oregon;
Coquille, Oregon and Weed, California, 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 Roseburg Forest Products (plants 1 and 2),
Dillard, Oregon; Green (Plant 3), Oregon; Riddle (Plant 4),
Oregon; Coquille (Plant 6), Oregon and Weed (Plant 7),
California who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 2, 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 2nd day of June 2003.
