DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-64,019]

 
Whittier Wood Products Company Including On-Site Leased Workers 
From Employers Overload, Oregon Temporary Services and Selectemp 
Corporation Eugene, OR; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative 
Trade Adjustment Assistance on October 2, 2008, applicable to workers 
of Whittier Wood Products Company, Eugene, Oregon. The Department's 
Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on 
October 20, 2008 (73 FR 62322).
    At the request of a firm official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Subject firm workers 
produce wood household furniture and are not separately identifiable by 
product line.
    New information shows that workers leased from Employers Overload, 
Oregon Temporary Services, and Selectemp Corporation were working on-
site at the Eugene, Oregon location of the subject firm. The Department 
has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control 
of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to leased workers of Employers Overload, Oregon Temporary 
Services, and Selectemp Corporation working on-site at the Eugene, 
Oregon location of the subject firm.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a shift of 
production to a foreign country followed by increased imports of 
articles like or directly competitive with the wood household furniture 
produced by the subject firm.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,019 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Whittier Wood Products Company, Eugene, Oregon, 
including on-site leased workers from Employers Overload, Oregon 
Temporary Services, and Selectemp Corporation, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after September 9, 2007, 
through October 2, 2010, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also 
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under 
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th day of February 2009
 Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
