Ethan Allen Manufacturing, Inc., Ethan Allen Interiors, Inc., 
Beecher Falls, VT; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On December 26, 2003, the Department of Labor received the 
petitioner's request for administrative reconsideration of the Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance, applicable to workers of the subject firm. The Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration was 
issued on February 25, 2004 and will soon be published in the Federal 
Register.
    The petitioner asserted in the request for reconsideration that the 
worker separations at the subject firm were the result of increased 
imports of furniture and case goods from China.
    The Department's reconsideration investigation revealed increased 
case goods and furniture imports during the period of employment, sales 
and production declines at the subject company.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that increased imports of case goods 
and furniture contributed importantly to the decline in production and 
to the total or partial separation of workers at the subject firm. In 
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following revised 
determination:

    Workers of Ethan Allen Manufacturing, Inc., Ethan Allen 
Interiors, Inc., Beecher Falls, Vermont, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after October 20, 2002 
through two years from the date of this certification, are eligible 
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade 
Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 11th day of March 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
