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), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on February 7, 2005, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at North Valley
Operations, a division of the Weyerhaeuser Company, Lebanon,
Oregon. The workers harvest logs.
The investigation revealed that North Valley Operations, a
division of Weyerhaeuser, Lebanon, Oregon supplied logs for lumber
to a manufacturer (whose workers were certified eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance), and at least 20 percent of its
production or sales is supplied to a manufacturer whose workers
were certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for
older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of North Valley Operations,
a division of the Weyerhaeuser Company, Lebanon, Oregon qualify as
adversely affected secondary workers under Section 222 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:



“All workers of North Valley Operation, a division of the
Weyerhaeuser Company, Lebanon, Oregon who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 3,
2004, through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.”
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 7th day of March 2005.
