STIMSON LUMBER COMPANY
ARDEN DIVISION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM SECURITAS
SECURITY SERVICES USA AND BRITEWAY JANITORIAL
COLVILLE, WASHINGTON

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on January 18, 2012,
applicable to workers and former workers of Stimson Lumber
Company, Arden Division, Colville, Washington. The workers are
engaged in activities related to the production of cedar lumber.
The Department’s Notice was published in the Federal Register on
February 14, 2012 (77 FR 8283).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm and the new
information supplied by the State.
The Department determines that workers from Securitas
Security Services USA and Briteway Janitorial were employed on-
site at the Colville, Washington location of Stimson Lumber
Company and were sufficiently under the control of Stimson Lumber
Company to be considered leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm adversely affected by customer
imports of articles from Canada.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Securitas Security
Services USA and Briteway Janitorial working on-site at the
Colville, Washington location of the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-80,487 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Stimson Lumber Company, Arden Division,
including on-site leased workers from Securitas
Security Services USA and Briteway Janitorial,
Colville, Washington, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 27,
2010, through January 18, 2014, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section
246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”

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 October 3, 2011 on behalf of workers of Stimson Lumber
Company, Arden Division, Colville, Washington. The workers’ firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of cedar lumber.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm, the firm’s customers, and from
various publicly available sources of data on the lumber
industry.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of cedar lumber by Stimson Lumber Company,
Arden Division, Colville, Washington, have decreased absolutely.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Stimson Lumber Company, Arden Division,
Colville, Washington, have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Stimson Lumber
Company, Arden Division, Colville, Washington.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Stimson Lumber Company,
Arden Division, Colville, Washington, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of cedar lumber, 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 Stimson Lumber Company, Arden Division,
Colville, Washington, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 27, 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 18th day of January, 2012.
