Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or in the supply
of services, as the case may be, that were the basis for a
certification of eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section
222 of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such other
firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 22, 2009 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Bright Wood Corporation, Madras, Oregon (TA-W-70,490) and
Bright Wood Corporation, Redmond, Oregon (TA-W-70,490A).
Workers at Bright Wood Corporation, Madras, Oregon (TA-W-
70,490) are engaged in activities related to the production of
wood molding for residential windows and glass doors, and
provide administrative support. Workers at Bright Wood
Corporation, Redmond, Oregon (TA-W-70,490A) are engaged in the
production of wood molding for residential windows and glass
doors.
The investigation revealed that workers of Bright Wood
Corporation, Madras, Oregon (TA-W-70,490) and Bright Wood
Corporation, Redmond, Oregon (TA-W-70,490A) who are engaged in
employment related to the production of wood molding for
windows and glass doors meet the criteria as suppliers for
secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
the workers have become separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of Bright
Wood Corporation, Madras, Oregon (TA-W-70,490) and Bright Wood
Corporation, Redmond, Oregon (TA-W-70,490A) produced and sold
wood molding to a customer to be incorporated into residential
windows and glass doors. Workers of that customer were issued
a certification on the basis of increased customer imports.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business by
Bright Wood Corporation with the TAA-certified customer
contributed importantly to the worker separations at the
Madras, Oregon and Redmond, Oregon facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bright Wood
Corporation, Madras, Oregon (TA-W-70,490) and Bright Wood
Corporation, Redmond, Oregon (TA-W-70,490A) who are engaged in
activities related to the production of wood molding meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:

"All workers of Bright Wood Corporation, Madras, Oregon
(TA-W-70,490) and Bright Wood Corporation, Redmond,
Oregon (TA-W-70,490A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 20, 2008 through
two years from the date of certification, and all workers
in the group threatened with total or partial separation
from employment on the date of certification through two
years from the date of certification, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 15th day of December 2009
