NORTHWEST HARDWOODS, INC.
A SUBSIDIARY OF NORTHWEST HARDWOODS, INC.
COOS BAY, OREGON
Notice of Termination of Trade Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance Investigation
Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended,
an investigation was initiated in response to a Trade Adjustment
Assistance for Workers (TAA) and Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) petition dated September 13, 2021 and filed on
September 14, 2021 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of former
workers of Northwest Hardwoods, Inc., a subsidiary of Northwest
Hardwoods Inc., Coos Bay, Oregon.
20 C.F.R. 618.210(e)(1) states that the Department of Labor
may terminate an investigation if the investigation establishes
one of the following: (i) The petition is invalid, which includes
petitions identifying a nonexistent group of workers, filed under
false pretenses, or perpetuating fraud; (ii) The petitioner has
withdrawn the petition in writing; (iii) The group of workers
identified in the investigation is the same as a group of workers
identified in another pending investigation; (iv) The group of
workers identified in the investigation already has been issued a
denial, and the period of investigation applicable to the current
investigation and the previous denial is the same; or (v) The group
of workers identified in the investigation is already covered by a
certification that does not expire within 90 calendar days of the
determination.
The investigation revealed that the group of workers on whose
behalf the petition was filed is eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance under TA-W-95,840A. Consequently, the
investigation has been terminated.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 29th day of September, 2021
