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 February 25, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Colville Indian Plywood and Veneer, Colville Tribal
Enterprise Corporation Wood Products Division, Omak,
Washington. The workers produce four quarter and six quarter
boards and dimensional lumber of ponderosa pine.
The investigation revealed that workers of Colville Indian
Plywood and Veneer who are engaged in employment related to
production of boards and dimensional lumber of ponderosa pine
meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of workers were separated over the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of boards and dimensional lumber of ponderosa
pine by Colville Indian Plywood and Veneer have decreased
absolutely over the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because U.S.
aggregate imports of articles like or directly competitive
with the boards and dimensional lumber of ponderosa pine
produced by Colville Indian Plywood and Veneer have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Colville
Indian Plywood and Veneer.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Colville Indian
Plywood and Veneer, Colville Tribal Enterprise Corporation
Wood Products Division, Omak, Washington, who are engaged in
employment related to production of boards and dimensional
lumber of ponderosa pine, 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 Colville Indian Plywood and Veneer,
Colville Tribal Enterprise Corporation Wood Products
Division, Omak, Washington, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 24, 2009,
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.”
