[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 205 (Friday, October 23, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 56946] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-28454] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-34,231 and NAFTA--02180] Eagle Veneer, Incorporated Harrisburg Plywood Division, Harrisburg, Oregon; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration On August 27, 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 47325). The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Eagle Veneer, Inc. Harrisburg Plywood Division, Harrisburg, Oregon, producing CDX plywood 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 Eagle Veneer, Harrisburg Plywood Division. The survey revealed that former major customers reduced purchases of CDX plywood from the Harrisburg plant and increased purchases of imports from Canada of oriented strand board (OSB) similar to the articles produced at the Harrisburg plant. Conclusion After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports from Canada of articles like or directly competitive with CDX plywood, contributed importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers of Eagle Veneer, Incorporated, Harrisburg Plywood Division. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: All workers of Eagle Veneer, Inc., Harrisburg Plywood Division, Harrisburg, Oregon who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 11, 1996 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974; and All workers of Eagle Veneer, Inc., Harrisburg Plywood Division, Harrisburg, Oregon who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 11, 1996 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974. Signed in Washington, D.C. this 6th day of October 1998. Grant D. Beale, Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc. 98-28454 Filed 10-22-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-M
