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 April 7, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of iLevel by Weyerhaeuser, iLevel Marketing and Sales, a
subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser Company, Greenwood Village, Colorado
(iLevel by Weyerhaeuser). The workers are engaged in employment
related to the supply of design software and support services
for dealers, builders, and architects.
The investigation revealed that workers of iLevel by
Weyerhaeuser, Greenwood Village, Colorado, who are engaged in
employment related to the supply of design software and support
services, meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at iLevel by Weyerhaeuser have been
totally or partially separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because iLevel by Weyerhaeuser
supplied a service directly to a firm that employed a worker
group that is currently eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA), and the service supplied is related to the
production of the article that was the basis for the TAA
certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by iLevel by Weyerhaeuser with the afore-mentioned firm, with
respect to design software and support services sold to the
firm, contributed importantly to worker separations the
Greenwood Village, Colorado facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of iLevel by
Weyerhaeuser, iLevel Marketing and Sales, a subsidiary of
Weyerhaeuser Company, Greenwood Village, Colorado, who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of design software
and support 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 iLevel by Weyerhaeuser, iLevel Marketing
and Sales, a subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser Company, Greenwood
Village, Colorado, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 6, 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 25th day of June, 2010
