In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended, the

Department of Labor herein presents

summaries of determinations regarding

eligibility to apply for trade adjustment

assistance for workers (TA–W) issued

during the period of March and April,

1997.

In order for an affirmative

determination to be made and a

certification of eligibility to apply for

worker adjustment assistance to be

issued, each of the group eligibility

requirements of Section 222 of the Act

must be met.

(1) That a significant number or proportion

of the workers in the workers’ firm, or an

appropriate subdivision thereof, have become

totally or partially separated,

(2) That sales or production, or both, of the

firm or subdivision have decreased

absolutely, and

(3) That increases of imports of articles like

or directly competitive with articles

produced by the firm or appropriate

subdivision have contributed importantly to

the separations, or threat thereof, and to the

absolute decline in sales or production.

Negative Determinations for Worker

Adjustment Assistance

In each of the following cases the

investigation revealed that criterion (3)

has not been met. A survey of customers

indicated that increased imports did not

contribute importantly to worker

separations at the firm.

Willamette Industries, Incorporated,

Dallas, OR, Notice of Affirmative

Determination Regarding Application

for Reconsideration

By letter of February 4, 1997, the

Oregon AFL–CIO together with the

Western Council of Industrial Workers

Local #2714, United Brotherhood of

Carpenters and Joiners of America,

requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s Notice of Negative

Determination Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for NAFTA-Transitional

Adjustment Assistance applicable to

workers of the subject firm. The denial

notice was signed on January 21, 1997,

and published in the Federal Register

on February 13, 1997 (62 FR 6804).

The petitioner presents evidence that

the Department’s survey of customers of

Willamette Industries was incomplete.

On March 17, 1997, the Department

issued a Negative Determination

Regarding Eligibility to Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance

applicable to the workers of Willamette

Industries, Incorporated, Plywood

Division, Dallas, Oregon. The notice

will soon be published in the Federal

Register. The Department has

determined that in this case, the

evidence presented in the request for

reconsideration of the NAFTA petition

is also applicable to the TAA petition.

Therefore, this notice has been

expanded to include the TAA petition.

Conclusion

After careful review of the

application, I conclude that the claim is

of sufficient weight to justify

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s prior decision. The application

is, therefore, granted.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 24th day of

Ansewn Shoe Company, Bangor, ME;

Amended Certification Regarding

Eligibility To Apply for Worker

Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the

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

Department of Labor issued a

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance on

March 18, 1997, applicable to all

workers of Ansewn Shoe Company

located in Bangor, Maine. The notice

will soon be published in the Federal

Register.

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

findings show that the Department

incorrectly set the impact date at

January 16, 1996. The workers at the

subject firm were covered under an

earlier certification, TA–W–30,230,

which did not expire until October 27,

1996. To avoid a coverage overlap for

the same group of workers at Ansewn

Shoe, the Department is amending the

current certification to insert the new

impact date of October 27, 1996.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–33,158 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Ansewn Shoe Company,

Bangor, Maine, who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after October 27, 1996 are eligible to appy for

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of

the Trade Act of 1974.
