[TA-W-60,078]

 
Weyerhaeuser Company Lebanon Lumber Division Lebanon, OR; Notice 
of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated November 27, 2006, the Carpenter's Industrial 
Council, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America 
(Union), 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 Department's determination was issued on October 19, 2006. 
The Department's

[[Page 76701]]

Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on 
November 6, 2006 (71 FR 65004).
    The denial was based on the Department's findings that, during the 
relevant period, the subject company did not import lumber studs or 
shift production of lumber studs overseas and that the subject 
company's major declining customers had negligible imports of green df 
studs during the surveyed periods.
    The Union alleges that the Weyerhaeuser Company purchased a 
softwood lumber production facility in Canada, inferring that the firm 
has increased imports of lumber or articles like or directly 
competitive with lumber produced at the subject facility.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the Union's request for 
reconsideration and has determined that the Department will conduct 
further investigation.

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 15th day of December 2006.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
