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 June 3, 2009 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Glacier Line Logging, Inc., Kalispell, Montana. The workers
produce logs.
The investigation revealed that workers of Glacier Line
Logging, Inc., Kalispell, Montana who are engaged in
employment related to logging meet the criteria as Suppliers
for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because employment at the
subject firm declined during the relevant period of January
through April 2009 when compared to the same time period the
previous year.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of
Glacier Line Logging, Inc., Kalispell, Montana produced and
sold logs to Plum Creek Evergreen Sawmill and Reman,
Kalispell, Montana to be incorporated into lumber studs.
Workers of Plum Creek Evergreen Sawmill and Reman, Kalispell,
Montana are covered by certification number TA-W-62,657 issued
based on increased customer imports on February 25, 2008.
Criterion III has been met because the logs produced by
Glacier Line Logging, Inc., Kalispell, Montana for Plum Creek
Evergreen Sawmill and Reman, Kalispell, Montana accounted for
at least 20 percent of the production or sales of Glacier Line
Logging, Inc., Kalispell, Montana.


















Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Glacier Line Logging,
Inc., Kalispell, Montana, who are engaged in employment related
to the production of logs 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 Glacier Line Logging, Inc., Kalispell,
Montana, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 29, 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 30th day of July, 2009
