ROUGH & READY LUMBER, LLC
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM PERPETUA FORESTS COMPANY
CAVE JUNCTION, OREGON
Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on May 31, 2013, applicable to workers and
former workers of Rough & Ready Lumber, LLC, Cave Junction,
Oregon (subject firm). The Department’s Notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2013 (78 FR
37588). Workers were engaged in employment related to the
production and sale of lumber.
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
New information provided by the subject firm revealed that
workers from Perpetua Forests Company were employed on-site at
the Cave Junction, Oregon location of Rough & Ready Lumber, LLC.
The Department has determined that workers of Perpetua Forests
Company were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm
to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Perpetua Forests
Company working on-site at the Cave Junction, Oregon location of
Rough & Ready Lumber, LLC.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,688 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Rough & Ready Lumber, LLC, including
on-site leased workers of Perpetua Forests Company,
Cave Junction, Oregon, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 23, 2012,
through May 31, 2015, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on May 31, 2103 through May 31, 2015, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended.”

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), can be 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)(II)(aa) imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles into which one or more
component parts produced by such firm are directly
incorporated 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 April 23, 2013 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Rough & Ready Lumber, LLC, Cave Junction, Oregon. The workers’
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of lumber.
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 lumber by the workers’ firm have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii)(II)(aa) has been met because
imports of articles like or directly competitive with windows and
doors incorporating lumber produced by the workers’ firm which
are directly incorporated have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased customer imports of windows and doors contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and sales/production
declines at Rough & Ready Lumber.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Rough & Ready Lumber,
LLC, Cave Junction, Oregon, who are engaged in activities related
to the production of 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 Rough & Ready Lumber, LLC, Cave Junction,
Oregon, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 23, 2012 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.”
