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 23, 2018 by a State workforce official on behalf
of workers and former workers of Weyerhaeuser NR Company,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco, Millport, Alabama.
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of 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
lumber from Canada. A petition has been filed on behalf of
workers of Weyerhaeuser NR Company, Millport, Alabama. That firm
was 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 Weyerhaeuser NR
Company, Millport, Alabama, who were engaged in activities related
to the production of 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 Weyerhaeuser NR Company, including on-site
leased workers from Adecco, Millport, Alabama, who became
totally or partially separated from 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 1st day of February 2019.
