Amended 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1074 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on October 20, 2008,
applicable to workers and former workers of Woodgrain Millwork,
Inc., Fruitland Mill Division, Fruitland, Idaho. The Notice of
determination was published in the Federal Register on November
10, 2008 (73 FR 66676). Workers produce door components and are
not separately identifiable by articles produced.
At the request of a subject firm official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
review shows that the petition was filed by a company official on
behalf of workers of Woodgrain Millwork, Inc., Fruitland, Idaho.
New information provided by the company official show that
the subject facility consisted of two divisions, Millwork
Division and Prefinish Division, and that the workers are not
separately identifiable by article produced or Division. The
Millwork Division milled the component pieces, and then the
Prefinish Division treated the milled pieces before they were
sent to the customer.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Woodgrain Millwork, Inc., Fruitland, Idaho, who
are secondarily-affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,116 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Woodgrain Millwork, Inc., Fruitland,
Idaho, Fruitland Millwork Division and Fruitland
Prefinish Division, Fruitland, Idaho, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 16, 2007, through October 20, 2010, 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."

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 September 26, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Woodgrain Millwork, Inc., Fruitland Mill Division,
Fruitland, Idaho. The workers produce door components. The workers
are not separately identifiable by articles produced.
Employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant
period.
The investigation revealed that Woodgrain Millwork, Inc.,
Fruitland Mill Division, Fruitland, Idaho supplies component
parts for doors, 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. The workers
produced doors.
In addition, 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.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Woodgrain Millwork,
Inc., Fruitland Mill Division, Fruitland, Idaho 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 Woodgrain Millwork, Inc., Fruitland Mill
Division, Fruitland, Idaho who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 16, 2007,
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 eligible to apply for alternative
trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.”
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 20th day of October 2008.
