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(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by
the International Trade Commission as a member of a
domestic industry in an investigation resulting in--
(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);
(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption
or threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or
(C) an affirmative final determination of material
injury or threat thereof under section
705(b)(1)(A) or 735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A) and
1673d(b)(1)(A));
(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period
beginning on the date on which--
(A) a summary of the report submitted to the
President by the International Trade Commission
under section 202(f)(1) with respect to the
affirmative determination described in paragraph
(1)(A) is published in the Federal Register under
section 202(f)(3); or
(B) notice of an affirmative determination described
in subparagraph (B) or (C) of paragraph (1) is
published in the Federal Register; and
(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--
(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or
(B) notwithstanding section 223(b), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 4, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Biewer Lumber, including on-site leased workers
from Northern Staffing Services and PMP Personnel Services,
McBain, Michigan (TA-W-94,200) and Biewer Lumber, Lake City,
Michigan (TA-W-94,200A). The workers' firms are engaged in
activities related to the production of softwood lumber.
The investigation revealed that on December 28, 2017, the
International Trade Commission (ITC) found that an industry in
the United States is materially injured by reason of imports
of softwood lumber from Canada. A petition has been filed on
behalf of workers of Biewer Lumber, including on-site leased
workers from Northern Staffing Services and PMP Personnel
Services, McBain, Michigan (TA-W-94,200) and Biewer Lumber, Lake
City, Michigan (TA-W-94,200A). Those firms were publicly
identified by name by the ITC as a member of a domestic industry
in an investigation resulting in a category of determination
that is listed in Section 222(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(e). In addition, that determination was published in the
Federal Register on December 28, 2017, which is within one year
of the date of the petition filed requesting Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Biewer Lumber,
including on-site leased workers from Northern Staffing Services
and PMP Personnel Services, McBain, Michigan (TA-W-94,200) and
Biewer Lumber, Lake City, Michigan (TA-W-94,200A), who are
engaged in activities related to the production of softwood
lumber, meet the requirements of Section 222(e) of the Act. In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Biewer Lumber, including on-site leased
workers from Northern Staffing Services and PMP Personnel
Services, McBain, Michigan (TA-W-94,200) and Biewer Lumber,
Lake City, Michigan (TA-W-94,200A), who became totally or
partially separated from that employment on or after
December 28, 2016, through December 28, 2018, 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 10th day of December 2018.
