HARBOR PAPER LLC
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM TWIN COUNTY SECURITY
HOQUIAM, WASHINGTON
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 September 12, 2013, applicable to
workers of Harbor Paper, LLC, Hoquiam, Washington. The workers
are engaged in employment related to production of paper. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on October 3, 2013
(78 FR 61392).
At the request of a state workforce official, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm. New information from the company shows that workers
leased from Twin County Security were employed on-site at the
Hoquiam, Washington location of Harbor Paper. The Department
has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the
control of Harbor Paper to be considered leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
increased imports.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Twin County
Security on-site at the Hoquiam, Washington location of Harbor
Paper. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,796 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Harbor Paper LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Twin County Security, Hoquiam, Washington, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 7, 2012 through September 12, 2015, and all workers
in the group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on September 12, 2013 through September 12, 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), 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 June 10, 2013 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Harbor Paper LLC, Hoquiam, Washington. The workers’
firm is engaged in activities related to production of paper.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm and the firm’s customers.
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
production of paper by Harbor Paper have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the paper produced by
Harbor Paper have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Harbor Paper.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Harbor Paper LLC,
Hoquiam, Washington, who are engaged in activities related to
production of paper, 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 Harbor Paper LLC, Hoquiam, Washington, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 7, 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.”
