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 July 26, 2016 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of Upper Columbia Mill, LLC, 71410 E Columbia Avenue, a
subsidiary of GTFF Mill Corporation, operated by Collins
Management Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
DePaul Industries and BBSI, Boardman, Oregon (TA-W-92,051) and
Upper Columbia Mill, LLC, 77200 Poleline Road, a subsidiary of
GTFF Mill Corporation, operated by Collins Management
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from DePaul
Industries and BBSI, Boardman, Oregon (TA-W-92,051A) (herein
referred to as "Upper Columbia Mill, LLC"). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of lumber
products, various grades of pacific albus and alder.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, the workers' firm, and the
major declining customer(s) of the workers' firm.
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 products by Upper Columbia Mill,
LLC have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by Upper Columbia Mill, LLC 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
Upper Columbia Mill, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Upper Columbia Mill,
LLC, 71410 E Columbia Avenue, a subsidiary of GTFF Mill
Corporation, operated by Collins Management Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from DePaul Industries and
BBSI, Boardman, Oregon (TA-W-92,051) and Upper Columbia Mill,
LLC, 77200 Poleline Road, a subsidiary of GTFF Mill
Corporation, operated by Collins Management Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from DePaul Industries and
BBSI, Boardman, Oregon (TA-W-92,051A), who are engaged in
activities related to the production of lumber products, various
grades of pacific albus and alder of 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 Upper Columbia Mill, LLC, 71410 E Columbia Avenue, a
subsidiary of GTFF Mill Corporation, operated by Collins
Management Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from DePaul Industries and BBSI, Boardman, Oregon (TA-W-

workers from DePaul Industries and BBSI, Boardman, Oregon
(TA-W-92,051A), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 25, 2015 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."
