Armstrong Wood Products, Inc., Armstrong Hardwood Flooring 
Company, Pattern Plus Flooring Department; Oneida, TN; Notice of 
Affirmative DeterminationRegarding Application for Reconsideration

    On April 13, 2007, the U.S. Department of Labor (Department) 
received a request for administrative reconsideration of the 
Department's Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers and 
former workers of the subject firm. The negative determination was 
issued on March 28, 2007. The Department's Notice of determination was 
published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2007 (72 FR 17937).
    The negative determination was based on the Department's findings 
that, during the relevant period, the subject firm did not import 
pattern plus flooring, the subject firm did not shift production of 
pattern plus flooring overseas, and the subject firm's customers did 
not import pattern plus flooring.
    In the request for reconsideration, the workers alleged that the 
subject firm imported pattern plus flooring and provided a copy of a 
shipping label for hardwood flooring made in China which was, 
allegedly, received by the subject firm.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the workers' request for 
reconsideration and has determined that the Department will conduct 
further investigation.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 2nd day of May 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
