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(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on December 30, 2009 on behalf of workers of Cascade Wood
Products, Inc., White City, Oregon. The workers produced
secondary wood products for a variety of uses. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Selectemp Employment
Services and Personnel Source, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Cascade Wood
Products, Inc., who are engaged in employment related to
production of secondary wood products, meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of the workers have been separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of secondary wood products by Cascade Wood
Products, Inc. have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
reliance on imports of articles like or directly competitive
with secondary wood products produced by Cascade Wood
Products, Inc. have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased customer reliance on imports contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Cascade Wood Products, Inc.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cascade Wood
Products, Inc., White City, Oregon, who are engaged in
employment related to production of secondary wood products,
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 Cascade Wood Products, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Selectemp Employment Services and
Personnel Source, Inc., White City, Oregon, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 18, 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."
