B. The sales or production, or both, of 

such firm or subdivision have decreased 

absolutely; and 

C. Increased imports of articles like or

or 

II. Section (a)(2)(B) both of the 

following must be satisfied: 

A. A significant number or proportion 

of the workers in such workers’ firm, or

increase in imports of articles that are 

like or directly competitive with articles 

which are or were produced by such

secondarily affected workers of a firm

eligibility requirements of Section 

222(b) of the Act must be met.

of the workers in the workers’ firm or 

an appropriate subdivision of the firm 

have become totally or partially 

separated, or are threatened to become 

totally or partially separated; 

(2) The workers’ firm (or subdivision) 

is a supplier or downstream producer to 

a firm (or subdivision) that employed a 

group of workers who received a 

certification of eligibility to apply for 

trade adjustment assistance benefits and 

such supply or production is related to 

the article that was the basis for such 

certification; and 

(3) either—

(A) The workers’ firm is a supplier 

and the component parts it supplied for 

the firm (or subdivision) described in 

paragraph (2) accounted for at least 20 

percent of the production or sales of the 

workers’ firm; or 

(B) A loss or business by the workers’

firm with the firm (or subdivision) 

described in paragraph (2) contributed 

importantly to the workers’ separation 

or threat of separation. 

In order for the Division of Trade

Negative Determinations for Worker 

Adjustment Assistance and Alternative 

Trade Adjustment Assistance 

In the following cases, the 

investigation revealed that the eligibility 

criteria for worker adjustment assistance 

have not been met for the reasons 

specified. 

Because the workers of the firm are 

not eligible to apply for TAA, the 

workers cannot be certified eligible for 

ATAA. 

The investigation revealed that 

criteria (a)(2)(A)(I.A.) and (a)(2)(B)(II.A.) 

(employment decline) have not been 

met.

production, or both, did not decline) 

and (a)(2)(B)(II.B.) (shift in production 

to a foreign country) have not been met. 

None. 

The investigation revealed that 

criteria (a)(2)(A)(I.C.) (increased 

imports) and (a)(2)(B)(II.B.) (shift in 

production to a foreign country) have 

not been met.

(a)(2)(B)(II.C) (shift in production to a 

foreign country under a free trade 

agreement or a beneficiary country 

under a preferential trade agreement, or 

there has been or is likely to be an 

increase in imports).

Amended Certification Regarding 

Eligibility To Apply for Worker 

Adjustment Assistance and Alternative 

Trade Adjustment Assistance 

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 

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for 

Worker Adjustment Assistance and 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance on January 16, 2007, 

applicable to workers of LEGO Systems, 

Inc., including on-site leased workers of 

Staff Management, Enfield, Connecticut. 

The notice was published in the Federal 

Register on February 7, 2007 (72 FR 

5748). 

At the request of the State agency, the 

Department reviewed the certification 

for workers of the subject firm. The 

workers were engaged in the assembly 

of LEGO toy model kits. 

New information shows that in 

February 2006, the leased workers of 

Adecco USA, Inc., employed on-site at 

the Enfield, Connecticut location of 

LEGO Systems, Inc., became employees 

of Staff Management due to a change in 

contracting firms. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

amending this certification to properly 

reflect this matter. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers 

employed at LEGO Systems, Inc., 

Enfield, Connecticut who were 

adversely affected by a shift in 

production to Mexico. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–60,688 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

All workers of LEGO Systems, Inc., 

including former on-site leased workers of 

Adecco USA, Inc., currently employed with 

Staff Management, Enfield, Connecticut, who 

became totally or partially separated from 

employment on or after January 2, 2006, 

through January 16, 2009, are eligible to 

apply for adjustment assistance under 

Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are 

also eligible to apply for alternative trade 

adjustment assistance under Section 246 of 

the Trade Act of 1974.

[TA–W–60,078] 

Weyerhaeuser Company; Lebanon 

Lumber Division; Lebanon, OR; Notice 

of Negative Determination on 

Reconsideration 

On December 15, 2006, the 

Department issued an Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration for the workers and 

former workers of Weyerhaeuser 

Company, Lebanon Lumber Division, 

Lebanon, Oregon (the subject firm). The 

Department’s Notice of affirmative 

determination was published in the 

Federal Register on December 21, 2006 

(71 FR 76700). 

The initial denial of the workers’

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) was 

based on the Department’s findings that 

the workers produce green softwood 

stud lumber; the subject firm neither 

imported green softwood stud lumber 

nor shifted production of green 

softwood stud lumber overseas during 

the relevant period; and the subject 

firm’s major declining customers had 

negligible imports of green softwood 

stud lumber during the surveyed 

periods. The Department’s Notice of 

determination was issued on October 

19, 2006 and published in the Federal 

Register on November 6, 2006 (71 FR 

65004). 

The request for reconsideration, filed 

by the United Brotherhood of 

Carpenters and Joiners of America, 

Carpenters Industrial Council, Local 

2791 (Union), alleges that Weyerhaeuser 

Company purchased a softwood lumber 

production facility in Canada, inferring 

that the subject firm has increased 

imports of lumber or articles like or 

directly competitive with lumber 

produced at the subject facility. 

During the reconsideration 

investigation, the Department discussed 

the allegations with the Union, sought 

clarification from the subject firm 

regarding Weyerhaeuser Company’s 

Canadian lumber production facilities, 

and conducted a customer survey 

regarding imports of stud lumber and 

articles like or directly competitive with 

stud lumber produced at the subject 

firm during the relevant period. 

During the reconsideration 

investigation, the Department 

determined that kiln-dried lumber and 

engineered wood products are like or 

directly competitive with green stud 

lumber. As such, the Department 

conducted an expanded customer 

survey to determine whether the subject 

firm’s major declining customers had 

increased import purchases of green 

stud lumber and articles like or directly 

competitive with green stud lumber 

produced at the subject firm. The survey 

revealed no increased imports of green 

stud lumber or articles like or directly 

competitive with green stud lumber 

during the surveyed periods. 

The reconsideration investigation also 

revealed that, contrary to the Union’s 

allegation, Weyerhaeuser Company has 

not purchased any lumber production 

facilities in Canada during the relevant 

period. Further, an August 23, 2006 

Weyerhaeuser Company news release 

(attached to the petition) states that the 

subject firm was replaced by a new, 

‘‘world-class’’ sawmill in the Lebanon, 

Oregon area. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

Union requested that the Department 

review the articles submitted with the 

petition and the findings by the U.S. 

International Trade Commission 

(USITC) regarding Investigation Nos. 

701–TA–414 and 731–TA–928. 

‘‘Increased imports means that 

imports have increased either absolutely 

or relative to domestic production 

compared to a representative base 

period. The representative base period 

shall be one year consisting of the four 

quarters immediately preceding the date 

which is twelve months prior to the date 

of the petition.’’ 29 CFR Section 90.2 

Because the petition is dated September 

13, 2006, the Department determines 

that the relevant period is September 

2005 through August 2006. 

While ‘‘News Release,’’

Weyerhaeuser, August 23, 2006, states 

that Weyerhaeuser Company ‘‘operates 

lumber mills in eight states and four 

provinces in Canada,’’ it does not infer 

any shift of production to Canada or 

increased imports from Canada. Further, 

the article explains that the new 

sawmill to which production is shifting 

is also in the Lebanon, Oregon area. 

While Weyerhaeuser Company’s 

‘‘Forward Looking Statement’’ (July 25, 

2006) acknowledges that Weyerhaeuser
