LEBANITE CORPORATION
HARDBOARD DIVISION
NOW KNOWN AS OREGON PANEL PRODUCTS, INC.
LEBANON, OREGON

Notice of Termination of Amendment to Certification Regarding
Eligibility to Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued an Amended Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on June
14, 2004 applicable to workers of Lebanite Corporation, Hardboard
Division, Now Known As Oregon Panel Products, Inc., Lebanon,
Oregon. The notice was published in the Federal Register on July
1, 2004 (69 FR 39971).
At the request of the petitioners, the Department amended the
certification for workers of the subject facility to include
workers of what was thought to be a successor company, Oregon Panel
Products, LLC, Lebanon, Oregon. The workers were engaged in the
production of high density hardboard.
New information shows that although operations at the subject
facility were undertaken by Oregon Panel Products, LLC, there is no
successor-in-interest status. There was a three month break in
operations between the shutdown of the Lebanite Corporation, and
the start up of Oregon Panel Products. Workers separated from
employment at the subject facility had their wages reported under a
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Oregon Panel
Products, LLC.
Furthermore, the workers of Oregon Panel Products, LLC,
Lebanon Oregon are covered by another petition instituted on June
2, 2004 (TA-W-55,009).
Accordingly, the Department is terminating the amendment to
properly reflect this matter.
The amendment to TA-W-52,773 is hereby terminated, and the
original notice applicable to TA-W-52,773 is hereby re-issued as
follows:
"All workers of Lebanite Corporation, Hardboard Division,
Lebanon, Oregon, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 1, 2002,
through October 29, 2005, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act
of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 5th day of August 2004
