A SUBSIDIARY OF CATALYST PAPER HOLDINGS INC.
SNOWFLAKE, ARIZONA

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;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of articles
or supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 17, 2013 by the United Steelworkers Union, Local
2688 on behalf of workers of Catalyst Paper (Snowflake) Inc., a
subsidiary of Catalyst Paper Holdings Inc., Snowflake, Arizona
("Catalyst Paper" or "subject firm"). The subject worker group is
engaged in activities related to the production of uncoated
mechanical printing papers and newsprint. The subject worker group
does not include leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Catalyst Paper have become totally
or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country a portion of the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the uncoated mechanical
printing papers and newsprint produced by the subject worker
group, which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Catalyst Paper.






Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Catalyst Paper
(Snowflake) Inc., a subsidiary of Catalyst Paper Holdings Inc.,
Snowflake, Arizona, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of uncoated mechanical printing papers and newsprint,
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 Catalyst Paper (Snowflake) Inc., a subsidiary
of Catalyst Paper Holdings Inc., Snowflake, Arizona, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 1, 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."
