DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-71,014]


Jeld-Wen, Inc., Hawkins Window Division, Including On-Site Leased 
Workers of Nicolet Staffing, Hawkins, WI; Notice of Negative 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On December 3, 2009, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The Department's Notice of 
determination was published in the Federal Register on December 11, 
2009 (74 FR 65790).
    The initial investigation resulted in a denial based on the 
findings that subject firm and customer imports of wood- and aluminum-
clad windows and patio doors did not contribute to worker group 
separations and that the subject firm neither shifted to, nor acquired 
from, a foreign country the production of like or directly competitive 
articles.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioners requested that 
additional customer surveys be conducted.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department conducted 
a survey of six additional major declining customers of the subject 
firm regarding their purchases of wood- and aluminum-clad windows and 
patio doors during 2007, 2008, January through April 2008, and January 
through April 2009. The survey included one customer who accounted for 
17 percent of the subject firm's total sales during 2007 and 2008, and 
another customer who accounted for 14 percent of the subject firm's 
total sales during January through May 2009. In total, the surveyed 
accounted for 91 percent of the decline in total subject firm sales 
from 2007 to 2008, and 20 percent of the decline in total subject firm 
sales during January through April 2009 as compared with the same four 
months in 2008.
    The survey conducted during the reconsideration investigation 
revealed negligible customer imports of wood- and aluminum-clad windows 
and patio doors during 2007, 2008, and during January through April 
2009.

Conclusion

    After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative 
determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance 
for workers and former workers of Jeld-Wen, Inc., Hawkins Window 
Division, including on-site leased workers of Nicolet Staffing, 
Hawkins, Wisconsin.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 16th day of July 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
