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 9, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of iLevel by Weyerhaeuser, Human Resources Division,
Albany, Oregon. At the request of the company official, the
investigation was expanded to include workers of iLevel by
Weyerhaeuser, Human Resources Division, in the following
locations: Idabel, Oklahoma (TA-W-75,195A) Cosmopolis,
Washington (TA-W-75,195B), and Federal Way, Washington (TA-W-
75,195C). The workers provide human resources support to iLevel
by Weyerhaeuser facilities across the United States. The
workers' firm produces dimensional lumber and other lumber
products.
The investigation revealed that workers of iLevel by
Weyerhaeuser, who are engaged in employment related to human
resources support services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of the workers have been separated over the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of dimensional lumber by iLevel by
Weyerhaeuser 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 dimensional lumber manufactured by iLevel by
Weyerhaeuser have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased U.S. aggregate imports contributed importantly
to the worker group separations and sales/production declines
at iLevel by Weyerhaeuser.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of iLevel by
Weyerhaeuser, Human Resources Division, Albany, Oregon (TA-W-
75,195); Idabel, Oklahoma (TA-W-75,195A); Cosmopolis,
Washington (TA-W-75,195B); and Federal Way, Washington (TA-W-
75,195C), who are engaged in employment related to human
resources support services, 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 iLevel by Weyerhaeuser, Human Resources
Division, Albany, Oregon (TA-W-75,195); Idabel, Oklahoma
(TA-W-75,195A); Cosmopolis, Washington (TA-W-75,195B);
and Federal Way, Washington (TA-W-75,195C), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 7, 2010, 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 6th day of April, 2011
