[TA-W-62,101]

 
American Woodmark, Hardy County Plant, Moorefield, Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated November 8, 2007, Carpenters Industrial 
Council, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America 
requested administrative reconsideration of the Department of Labor's 
Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for 
Worker Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers and former workers 
of the subject firm. The denial notice was signed on October 17, 2007 
and published in the Federal Register on October 31, 2007 (72 FR 
61685).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of kitchen cabinet parts did not 
contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no 
shift of production to a foreign source occurred.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information concerning the interpretation of facts of the 
investigation.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record and therefore the Department 
will conduct further investigation to determine if the workers meet the 
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974.

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 in Washington, DC, this 30th day of November, 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
