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 26, 2017 by the State of Oregon on behalf of
workers of West Linn Paper Company, a subsidiary of Belgravia
Investments, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Galt
Foundation, Integrity Staffing, Express Professionals, Terra
Staffing, and Vanderhouwen, West Linn, Oregon (West Linn
Paper). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of coated free sheet paper (rolls).
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 West Linn
Paper sales and production has 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 West Linn Paper has 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 West Linn Paper.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of West Linn Paper, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of coated
free sheet paper (rolls), 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 West Linn Paper Company, a subsidiary of
Belgravia Investments, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Galt Foundation, Integrity Staffing, Express
Professionals, Terra Staffing, and Vanderhouwen, West
Linn, Oregon, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 23, 2016, 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 29th day of March 2018.
