[Docket No. TA-W-35,319]
Simpson Pasadena Paper Company, Pasadena, Texas; Notice of
Revised Determination on Remand
The United States Court of International Trade (USCIT) in the
matter of Former Employees of Simpson Pasadena Paper Company v. Alexis
Herman, United States Secretary of Labor, USCIT, No. 99-04-00249,
remanded for additional customer survey, the Department's negative
determination regarding eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
under the Trade Act of 1974.
On remand, the Department conducted a survey of additional
declining customers of Simpson
[[Page 37579]]
Pasadena Paper Company, Pasadena, Texas. The additional major declining
customers surveyed report an increasing reliance on imports of paper
while decreasing purchases from the subject firm during the time period
relevant to the investigation.
Information that was obtained in the initial investigation show
that workers at the Pasadena, Texas, plant of Simpson Pasadena Paper
Company were used interchangeably and were not separately identifiable
by product. Accordingly, the worker separations resulting from increase
imports of paper indirectly affected all lines of production (pulp,
coated and uncoated paper).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained on remand, I conclude
that there was an increase in imports of articles that are like or
directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm which
contributed to declines in sales or production and employment at
Simpson Pasadena Paper Company, Pasadena, Texas. In accordance with the
provisions of the Trade Act, I make the following certification:
All workers of Simpson Pasadena Paper Company, Pasadena, Texas,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 13, 1997, through two years from the date of this
issuance, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th Day of June 2000.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
