[TA-W-73,281]


Shorewood Packaging, a Subsidiary of International Paper Company, 
Including On-Site Leased Workers From Ameristaff Staffing, Danville, 
VA; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    By application dated September 7, 2010 the petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
determination was issued on August 19, 2010 and the Notice of 
Determination was published in the Federal Register on September 3, 
2010 (75 FR 54187). The workers produce cigarette cartons.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that the subject firm did not shift to/acquire 
from a foreign country the production of articles like or directly 
competitive with cigarette cartons; that neither the subject firm nor 
its major declining customers increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with cigarette cartons; that the subject workers 
are not adversely affected secondary workers; and the International 
Trade Commission did not identify the subject firm by name as an 
injured member of a domestic industry in an investigation pursuant to 
the Tariff Act of 1930.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department reviewed 
additional information provided by the petitioner and previously-
submitted information, as well as additional information obtained from 
other sources.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department confirmed 
that the subject firm supplied folding cartons used primarily in the 
tobacco market and confirmed the subject firm's customer base. During 
the reconsideration investigation, the Department received new 
information regarding the relationship between the subject firm and a 
major declining customer and the operations of the customer, with 
regards to cigarette cartons.
    Based on the new information, the Department determines that the 
subject firm is a supplier to a firm that employs a worker group 
currently eligible to apply for TAA; the supply of the component part 
is related to the finished article that is the basis for the TAA 
certification; and the firm accounts for at least twenty percent of the 
production or sales of the subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained during the 
reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of Shorewood 
Packaging, a subsidiary of International Paper Company, Danville, 
Virginia, meet the worker group certification criteria under Section 
222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(c). In accordance with Section 223 of 
the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273, I make the following certification:

    ``All workers of Shorewood Packaging, a subsidiary of 
International Paper Company, including on-site leased workers from 
Ameristaff Staffing, Danville, Virginia, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after January 12, 2009, 
through two years from the date of this revised certification, and 
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation 
from employment on date of certification through two years from the 
date of certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended.''

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 10th day of November, 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
