[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 196 (Friday, October 9, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 54500] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-27707] [[Page 54500]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-34,700] Willamette Industries Saginaw Lam Plant Saginaw, Oregon; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration On August 26, 1998, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the Federal Register on September 4, 1998 (63 FR 47328). The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Willamette Industries, Saginaw Lam Plant, Saginaw, Oregon, producing laminated beams because the ``contributed importantly'' group eligibility requirement of Section 222(3) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not met. On reconsideration, the Department conducted further survey analysis of major customers of Willamette Industries, Saginaw Lam Plant. The survey revealed that a former major customer reduced purchases of laminated beams from the Saginaw plant and increased purchases of imports of articles directly competitive to the laminated beams produced at the Saginaw plant. Conclusion After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with laminated beams, contributed importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers of Willamette Industries, Saginaw Lam Plant. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: ``All workers of Willamette Industries, Saginaw Lam Plant, Saginaw, Oregon who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after June 19, 1997 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.'' Signed in Washington, DC this 28th day of September 1998. Grant D. Beale, Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc. 98-27707 Filed 10-8-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-M
