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 services used
in the production of 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 March 9, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Redbuilt, LLC, previously known as iLevel by
Weyerhaeuser, Commercial Sales Division, Boise, Idaho. The
workers supplied engineering and design services to
Weyerhaeuser Company manufacturing facilities located in the
United States. These manufacturing facilities produce softwood
lumber and various softwood lumber products such as plywood,
veneer, panels, oriented strand board and other laminated and
engineered wood products used in commercial and residential
construction.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Commercial
Sales Division, who are engaged in employment related to the
supply of engineering and design services, meet the criteria as
suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers of the Commercial Sales Division have
been totally or partially separated or threatened with such
separation.
Criterion II has been met because workers of the
Commercial Sales Division provide services exclusively to
Weyerhaeuser Company facilities and a significant number and
proportion of these facilities employed a worker group who is
covered by an active certification to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA). The services supplied by the
subject firm were used in the production of lumber and various
lumber products.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by the Commercial Sales Division with the TAA-certified firms,
with respect to lumber and lumber products, contributed
importantly to worker separations in the Commercial Sales
Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Redbuilt, LLC,
previously known as iLevel by Weyerhaeuser, Commercial Sales
Division, Boise, Idaho who are engaged in employment related to
the supply of engineering and design services, meet the worker
group certification criteria under Section 222(c) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Redbuilt, LLC, previously known as iLevel
by Weyerhaeuser, Commercial Sales Division, Boise, Idaho,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after March 8, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 12th day of April, 2010
