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.
