Westport Shipyard, Inc., Westport, WA; 

Westport Shipyard, Inc., Hoquiam, WA; 

Westport Shipyard, Inc., Port Angeles, 

WA; Westport Shipyard, Inc., La 

Conner, WA; Notice of Negative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration 

By application dated June 12, 2009, 

the petitioners requested administrative 

reconsideration of the Department’s 

negative determination regarding 

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (ATAA), 

applicable to workers and former 

workers of the subject firm. The denial 

notice was signed on May 15, 2009 and 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 18, 2009 (74 FR 28961). 

Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c) 

reconsideration may be granted under 

the following circumstances: 

(1) If it appears on the basis of facts 

not previously considered that the 

determination complained of was 

erroneous; 

(2) If it appears that the determination 

complained of was based on a mistake 

in the determination of facts not 

previously considered; or 

(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying 

Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or 

of the law justified reconsideration of 

the decision. 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination, which was 

based on the finding that imports of 

large motor yachts did not contribute 

importantly to worker separations at the 

subject facility and there was no shift of 

production to a foreign country. The 

subject firm did not import large motor 

yachts nor shift production of large 

motor yachts to a foreign country during 

the 2007, 2008 and January through 

March 2009 period. Furthermore, the 

investigation revealed that sales and 

production of large motor yachts at the 

subject firm increased from January 

through March, 2009 when compared 

with the same period in 2008. 

The petitioners alleged that the 

customers of the subject firm, who are 

individual buyers and not business 

entities, can purchase ‘‘similar 

products’’ in foreign countries. The 

individuals can subsequently ship or 

sail the yachts back to the United States 

as a personal property, thus these 

products are not considered imports. To 

support their allegations, the petitioners 

attached information about aggregate 

imports, which reflects ports of 

unlading of ‘‘yachts, row boats, canoes 

and sailboats, with or without auxiliary 

motor’’ for the state of Washington in 

2006, 2007, 2008 and January 2009. This 

data shows that aggregate imports into 

the state of Washington of the above 

mentioned products declined from 2006 

to 2007, further declined from 2007 to 

2008, and increased in January 2009 

when compared with January 2008. The 

petitioners seem to allege that these 

increasing imports in January 2009 

amounted to a significant amount 

contributing importantly to the worker 

separations at all Westport Shipyard 

locations. 

In order to establish import impact, 

the Department solicits relevant 

information from the subject firm, 

customers of the subject firm and 

analyzes available United States 

aggregate data regarding imports of 

products, including those like or 

directly competitive with the products 

manufactured by the subject firm for the 

relevant period (one year prior to the 

date of the petition). In the case at hand, 

the customers were not surveyed, as 

they are individuals and one-time 

buyers. According to the data available 

from the U.S. Department of Commerce 

and the U.S. International Trade 

Commission, United States imports of 

motorized vessels and yachts have 

declined from 2007 to 2008 and 

decreased from January through April 

2009, when compared with the 

corresponding 2008 period. 

The petitioner did not supply facts 

not previously considered; nor provide 

additional documentation indicating 

that there was either (1) a mistake in the 

determination of facts not previously 

considered or (2) a misinterpretation of 

facts or of the law justifying 

reconsideration of the initial 

determination. 

After careful review of the request for 

reconsideration, the Department 

determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has not 

been met. 

Conclusion 

After review of the application and 

investigative findings, I conclude that 

there has been no error or 

misinterpretation of the law or of the 

facts which would justify 

reconsideration of the Department of 

Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the 

application is denied.

July 2009.

Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging, 

Inc., Longview Mill, Formerly Longview

Leased Workers From Oregon Electric 

and J.H. Kelly, Longview, WA; 

Amended Notice of Revised 

Determination on Reconsideration 

In accordance with section 223 of the 

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and 

section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 

U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the 

Department of Labor issued a Notice of 

Revised Determination on 

Reconsideration on April 16, 2008. The 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register on April 23, 2008 (73 FR 

21992–21993). 

At the request of the State agency, the 

Department reviewed the Notice of 

Revised Determination on 

Reconsideration for workers of the 

subject firm. The workers are engaged in 

the production of kraft paper. 

New information shows that workers 

leased workers from Oregon Electric and 

J.H. Kelly were employed on-site at the 

Longview, Washington location of 

Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging, 

Inc., Longview Mill, Formerly Longview 

Fibre Company. The Department has 

determined that these workers were 

sufficiently under the control of 

Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging, 

Inc., Longview Mill, Formerly Longview 

Fibre Company to be considered leased 

workers. 

Based on these findings, the 

Department is amending this revised 

determination to include workers leased 

from Oregon Electric and J.H. Kelly 

working on-site at the Longview, 

Washington location of the subject firm.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS 

ADMINISTRATION 

Records Schedules; Availability and 

Request for Comments 

AGENCY: National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of 

proposed records schedules; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) 

publishes notice at least once monthly 

of certain Federal agency requests for 

records disposition authority (records 

schedules). Once approved by NARA, 

records schedules provide mandatory 

instructions on what happens to records 

when no longer needed for current 

Government business. They authorize 

the preservation of records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives of the United States and the 

destruction, after a specified period, of 

records lacking administrative, legal, 

research, or other value. Notice is 

published for records schedules in 

which agencies propose to destroy 

records not previously authorized for 

disposal or reduce the retention period 

of records already authorized for 

disposal. NARA invites public 

comments on such records schedules, as 

required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a). 

DATES: Requests for copies must be 

received in writing on or before August 

31, 2009. Once the appraisal of the 

records is completed, NARA will send 

a copy of the schedule. NARA staff 

usually prepare appraisal memoranda 

that contain additional information 

concerning the records covered by a 

proposed schedule. These, too, may be 

requested and will be provided once the 

appraisal is completed. Requesters will 

be given 30 days to submit comments. 

ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of 

any records schedule identified in this 

notice by contacting the Life Cycle 

Management Division (NWML) using 

one of the following means: 

Mail: NARA (NWML), 8601 Adelphi 

Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001. 

E-mail: request.schedule@nara.gov. 

FAX: 301–837–3698. 

Requesters must cite the control 

number, which appears in parentheses 

after the name of the agency which 

submitted the schedule, and must 

provide a mailing address. Those who 

desire appraisal reports should so 

indicate in their request.
