[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 228 (Tuesday, November 28, 1995)] [Notices] [Page 58645] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-28974] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration Portac Incorporated of Washington; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration In the matter of TA-W-31,295, Beaver, Washington; TA-W-31,296, Forks, Washington. On October 6, 1995, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the Federal Register on October 20, 1995 (60 FR 54259). Investigation findings show that the workers produced softwood lumber products. The workers were denied TAA because the ``contributed importantly'' test of the Group Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met. The test is generally determined through a survey of the workers' firm's major declining customers. Findings on reconsideration show that the quantity of U.S. imports of softwood lumber increased from 1993 through June 1995. New investigation findings show that a major customer of Portac changed its earlier statement to the Department and reported that, during the base period in question, it purchased imports of softwood lumber. Conclusion After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reconsideration, it is concluded that the workers of Portac Incorporated of Tacoma, in Beaver and Forks, Washington were adversely affected by increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with softwood lumber produced at the subject firm. ``All workers of Portac Incorporated of Tacoma, Beaver, Washington (TA-W-31,295) and Forks, Washington (TA-W-31,296) who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after July 17, 1994 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.'' Signed at Washington, D.C. this 9th day of November 1995. Russell T. Kile, Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
