Sojitz Corporation of America, a Subsidiary of Sojitz 
Corporation, Forest Products Department, Seattle, WA; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    By application dated September 23, 2010, a State of Washington 
workforce official, on behalf of two workers, requested administrative 
reconsideration of the Department's negative determination regarding 
the eligibility of workers and former workers of Sojitz Corporation of 
America, a subsidiary of Sojitz Corporation, Forest Products 
Department, Seattle, Washington (subject firm) to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance. On October 18, 2010, the Department issued a 
Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration applicable to workers of the subject firm. The Notice 
was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2010 (75 FR 
65515). The subject workers are engaged in employment related to the 
supply of services related to the trade of forest products.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department received 
information that revealed that the subject firm had shifted to a 
foreign country the supply of services like or directly competitive 
with the services supplied by the subject workers, and that the shift 
to Canada contributed importantly to worker group separations at the 
subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers of the subject firm, who are 
engaged in employment related to the supply of forest product services, 
meet the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of 
the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 
19 U.S.C. 2273, I make the following certification:

    ``All workers of Sojitz Corporation of America, a subsidiary of 
Sojitz Corporation, Forest Products Department, Seattle, Washington, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after March 15, 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 3rd day of December, 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
