Kensington Windows, Inc., a Subsidiary of Jancor Companies, Inc., 
Vandergrift, PA; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By application postmarked February 27, 2009, the International 
Union of Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine and Furniture 
Workers (IUE), Local 188643 requested administrative reconsideration of 
the negative determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for 
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers and former workers of the 
subject firm. The determination was issued on January 9, 2009. The 
Notice of Determination was published in the Federal Register on 
February 2, 2009 (74 FR 5871).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of vinyl replacement windows and 
doors 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 regarding imports of vinyl replacement windows 
and doors and alleged that the customers might have increased imports 
of vinyl replacement windows and doors in the relevant period.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record and has determined that 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 U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of March 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
