[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 72 (Tuesday, April 15, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 18363] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-9672] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [NAFTA-01341 and TA-W-33,029] 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 March 1997. Russell T. Kile, Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc. 97-9672 Filed 4-14-97; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-M
