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 November 8, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Rosboro, LLC, Springfield, Oregon (herein
referred to as "Rosboro, LLC") The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of softwood lumber
products.
The investigation revealed that on December 28, 2017, the
International Trade Commission found Rosboro, LLC,
Springfield, Oregon was as a member of a domestic industry in an
investigation resulting in 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)). A petition has been filed on behalf of
workers of Rosboro, LLC. That firm was publicly identified by
name by the International Trade Commission 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 Rosboro, LLC,
Springfield, Oregon, engaged in activities related to the
production of softwood lumber products 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 Rosboro, LLC, Springfield, Oregon, who
became totally or partially separated from that employment
on or after December 28, 2016, through the date of the
certification and who become totally or partially separated
from that employment from the date of the certification
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 28th day of December 2018.
