Weyerhaeuser NR Company, I–Level 

Lumber—Aberdeen Division; 

Aberdeen, WA; Notice of Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration 

By application dated May 19, 2009, 

the Carpenters Industrial Council/ 

United Brotherhood of Carpenters and 

Joiners of America, Local Union 3099 

requested administrative 

reconsideration of the negative 

determination regarding workers’ 

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 

determination was issued on May 8, 

2009. The Notice of Determination will 

soon be published in the Federal 

Register. 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of softwood 

dimensional lumber, specifically 

Western Hemlock and Douglas Fir did 

not contribute importantly to worker 

separations at the subject firm and no 

shift of production to a foreign source 

occurred. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner provided additional 

information regarding imports of 

softwood dimensional lumber and 

alleged that the subject firm might have 

increased imports of softwood 

dimensional lumber in the relevant 

period. The petitioner also alleged that 

the subject firm might be eligible for 

TAA as secondary downstream 

producer of trade certified primary firm. 

The Department has carefully 

reviewed the request for reconsideration 

and the existing record and has 

determined that the Department will 

conduct further investigation to 

determine if the workers meet the 

eligibility requirements of the Trade Act 

of 1974. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the 

application, I conclude that the claim is 

of sufficient weight to justify 

reconsideration of the U.S. Department 

of Labor’s prior decision. The 

application is, therefore, granted. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 10th day of 

June 2009.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade 

Adjustment Assistance.

Watson Laboratories, Inc., a 

Connecticut Corporation, Including 

Workers Located Off-Site in Danbury, 

CT, Carmel, NY; 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 23, 2009, 

applicable to workers of Watson 

Laboratories, Inc., a Connecticut 

Corporation, Carmel, New York. The 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register on July 14, 2009 (73 FR 135). 

At the request of the company official, 

the Department reviewed the 

certification for workers of the subject 

firm. The workers produce 

pharmaceuticals and medicines. New 

information provided by the company 

shows that the worker group included 

workers located off-site at an affiliated 

facility in Danbury, Connecticut. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers at 

the subject firm who were adversely 

affected by the shift in production of 

pharmaceuticals and medicines to India 

and their subsequent import. 

The Department has determined that 

the workers located in Carmel, New 

York and the workers located in 

Danbury, Connecticut are not separately 

identifiable by product. 

Based on these findings, the 

Department is amending this 

certification to include workers of the 

subject firm working off-site at the 

Danbury, Connecticut location of the 

subject firm. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–64,439 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

‘‘All workers of Watson Laboratories Inc., 

a Connecticut Corporation, including 

workers located off-site in Danbury, 

Connecticut, Carmel, New York, who became 

totally or partially separated from 

employment on or after May 27, 2007 

through two years from the date of 

certification 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.’’ 

Signed in Washington, DC, this 18th day of 

May 2009.

Adjustment Assistance.
