In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as

At the request of the company and State Agency, the

firm to be included in this certification.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include the above mentioned contract workers
working on-site at the Omak, Washington location of Colville

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 March 2, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Colville Indian Precision Pine, 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
Precision Pine 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 Precision Pine 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 Precision Pine have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of ponderosa pine products contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Colville Indian Precision Pine.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Colville Indian
Precision Pine, 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 Precision Pine, 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.”
