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.
