Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 37 / Thursday, February 24, 2011 / Notices 10405 

Department’s Notice was published in 

the Federal Register on July 16, 2010 

(75 FR 41529). 

In the complaint to the USCIT, dated 

August 4, 2010, the Plaintiffs claimed 

that workers at the subject firm were 

impacted by Canadian imports of 

articles like or directly competitive with 

those produced by the subject firm. The 

Plaintiffs also claimed that ‘‘the main 

competitors of the Stimson Mill are 

TAA certified because of foreign 

competition from the Canadian 

softwood dimensional lumber imports.’’ 

On November 8, 2010, the Department 

requested voluntary remand to conduct 

further investigation to address the 

allegations made by the Plaintiffs, to 

determine whether the subject worker 

group is eligible to apply for TAA, and 

to issue an appropriate determination. 

On November 15, 2010, the USCIT 

granted the Department’s Motion for 

voluntary remand. 

For a worker group to be certified 

eligible to apply for TAA based on 

increased imports, all of the following 

criteria must be satisfied: 

A. A significant number or proportion of 

the workers in such workers’ firm, or an 

appropriate subdivision of the firm, have 

become totally or partially separated, or are 

threatened to become totally or partially 

separated; 

B. The sales or production, or both, of such 

firm or subdivision have decreased 

absolutely; and 

C. Increased imports of articles like or 

directly competitive with articles produced 

by such firm or subdivision have contributed 

importantly to such workers’ separation or 

threat of separation and to the decline in 

sales or production of such firm or 

subdivision. 

During the remand investigation, the 

Department carefully reviewed 

previously submitted information, 

obtained additional information from 

the subject firm, solicited input from the 

Plaintiffs, collected and reviewed 

additional U.S. import aggregate data on 

softwood lumber, and conducted an 

extensive customer survey. 

The Department’s findings on remand 

confirmed that the subject firm did not 

shift to a foreign country the production 

of articles like or directly competitive 

with those produced by the subject 

worker group, acquire these products 

from foreign sources, or import these 

articles or articles like or directly 

competitive with those produced by the 

subject worker group during the 

relevant time period. 

During the remand investigation, the 

Department surveyed a significant 

proportion of the subject firm’s 

declining customers regarding import 

purchases of large wood products, such 

as timbers, cross arms, and crane mats 

and like or directly competitive articles 

with those produced at the subject firm 

during 2008, 2009, and 2010. The 

Department also considered in 

conducting the survey any overlapping 

customers between the subject firm and 

firms that produce like or directly 

competitive products that, according to 

the Plaintiffs, are competitors of the 

subject firm. 

The expanded customer survey 

revealed that imports of articles like or 

directly competitive with the softwood 

lumber articles produced at the subject 

firm declined in the first period under 

investigation. However, customers’ 

purchases made from the subject firm 

also declined during the same time 

period but at a faster rate. During the 

second period under investigation, 

customers’ import purchases increased 

significantly compared to purchases 

made from the subject firm. Overall, the 

surveyed customers displayed an 

increased reliance on import purchases 

of articles like or directly competitive 

with the softwood lumber products 

manufactured by the subject worker 

group relative to purchases made from 

the subject firm during the period under 

investigation. 

Based on the new information 

obtained during the remand 

investigation, the Department 

determines that an increased reliance on 

imports by customers of the subject 

firm, of articles like or directly 

competitive with softwood lumber 

products manufactured by the subject 

firm, contributed importantly to the 

separations in the subject worker group 

and to the decline in subject firm sales 

and production. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the 

information obtained during the remand 

investigation, I determine that increased 

imports of articles like or directly 

competitive with softwood lumber 

products manufactured by the subject 

firm contributed importantly to the total 

separation of a significant number or 

proportion of workers at the subject 

firm. In accordance with the provisions 

of the Act, I make the following 

certification: 

All workers of Stimson Lumber Company, 

Clatskanie, Oregon, who became totally or 

partially separated from employment on or 

after May 18, 2008, through two years from 

the date of this revised certification, and all 

workers in the group threatened with total or 

partial separation from employment on 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 at Washington, DC, this 14th day of 

February, 2011.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment 

Assistance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To assist 

in the preparation of its study on federal 

protection for pre-1972 sound 

recordings, the Office published a 

Notice of Inquiry seeking comments on 

many detailed questions regarding 

various aspects of the study. See 75 FR 

67777 (November 3, 2010). Initial 

comments, which were due on January 

31, 2011, have been received and are 

posted on the Copyright Office Web site 

at http://www.copyright.gov/docs/ 

sound/comments/initial/. Reply 

comments were due to be filed by 

March 2, 2011. 

The Copyright Office has received a 

request from the Association of 

Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) to 

extend the reply comment period by 42 

days in order to allow sufficient time to 

provide the Office with comprehensive 

comments on issues relating to 

copyright law, licensing, and the 

marketing of sound recordings raised by 

the initial comments. ARSC points out 

that at the request of another 

commenter, the deadline for initial 

comments was extended by 42 days, 

and that the initial comments raised 

‘‘[m]any complex issues relating to 

copyright law, licensing, and the 

marketing of sound recordings.’’ ARSC 

states that a 42-day extension of the 

deadline for submission of reply 

comments would assure that all parties 

have ample time to craft responses. 

Given the complexity of the issues 

addressed by the initial comments, and 

in the interest in developing a thorough 

record, the Office has decided to extend 

the deadline for filing reply comments 

by a period of 42 days, making reply 

comments due by April 13, 2011. 

The Office received one initial 

comment after the January 31 deadline. 

Because of the extension of the deadline 

for reply comments, the Office has 

decided to accept that comment, which 

has been posted on the Copyright Office 

Web site at http://www.copyright.gov/ 

docs/sound/comments/initial/ as 

Comment Number 59.
