DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-64,669]


Century Furniture, LLC, Chair Upholstery Campus and Upholstery 
Division; Hickory, NC; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By applications dated February 9, 2009, a company official 
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 January 12, 2009 
and 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 criteria (a)(2)(A)(I.A) and (a)(2)(B)(II.A) 
have not been met. The investigation revealed that the subject firm did 
not separate or threaten to separate a significant number or proportion 
of workers as required by Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information regarding employment and layoffs at the subject 
firm.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record 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 Department of 
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 13th day of March, 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
