Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 116 / Thursday, June 15, 2000 / Notices 37579

Pasadena Paper Company, Pasadena,

Texas. The additional major declining

customers surveyed report an increasing

reliance on imports of paper while

decreasing purchases from the subject

firm during the time period relevant to

the investigation.

Information that was obtained in the

initial investigation show that workers

at the Pasadena, Texas, plant of

Simpson Pasadena Paper Company were

used interchangeably and were not

separately identifiable by product.

Accordingly, the worker separations

resulting from increase imports of paper

indirectly affected all lines of

production (pulp, coated and uncoated

paper).

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts

obtained on remand, I conclude that

there was an increase in imports of

articles that are like or directly

competitive with those produced by the

subject firm which contributed to

declines in sales or production and

employment at Simpson Pasadena Paper

Company, Pasadena, Texas. In

accordance with the provisions of the

Trade Act, I make the following

certification:

All workers of Simpson Pasadena Paper

Company, Pasadena, Texas, who became

totally or partially separated from

employment on or after November 13, 1997,

through two years from the date of this

issuance, are eligible to apply for adjustment

assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act

of 1974.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th Day of

June 2000.
