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 May 18, 2018 by a state workforce official on behalf of
workers of Columbia River Logistics, a subsidiary of Belgravia
Investments, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Galt
Foundation, Integrity Staffing, Express Professionals, Terra
Staffing, and Vanderhouwen, Vancouver, Washington (Columbia
River). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of coated free sheet paper.
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 Columbia River 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 sales and/or
production at Columbia River have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the coated free
sheet paper produced by Columbia River have increased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because increased
imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Columbia River.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Columbia River, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of coated
free sheet 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 Columbia River Logistics, a subsidiary of
Belgravia Investments, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Galt Foundation, Integrity Staffing, Express
Professionals, Terra Staffing, and Vanderhouwen, Vancouver,
Washington, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 17, 2017, 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 7th day of September 2018.
