DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-56,322]

 
Roseburg Forest Products Particleboard Plant, a Subsidiary of RLC 
Industries, Roseburg, OR; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By letter dated March 29, 2005, the Western Council of Industrial 
Workers, Local 2949, requested administrative reconsideration of the 
Department of Labor's Notice of Negative Determination Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, applicable to 
workers of the subject firm. The determination was signed on February 
4, 2005 and the Department's Notice of determination was published in 
the Federal Register on March 9, 2005 (70 FR 11703). The workers of the 
subject company produce particleboard.
    The negative determination was based on the findings that subject 
company sales and production increased during the investigatory period, 
that the subject company did not have any imports of like or directly 
competitive products, and that the subject company did not shift 
particleboard production abroad.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleges that 
particleboard production decreased during the relevant period.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and has determined that the Department will conduct 
further investigation based on new information provided by the 
petitioner.

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 6th day of April 2005.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
