JELD-WEN Millwork Distribution, Wilkesboro, NC; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated February 3, 2010, the petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
Notice of negative determination was issued on January 11, 2010 and 
published in the Federal Register on February 16, 2010 (75 FR 7039). 
The workers produce wooden exterior door frames.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that there was no increase in imports of like or 
directly competitive articles by either the subject firm or its 
customers, and no shift to/acquisition from a foreign country by the 
workers' firm of production of like or directly competitive articles. 
The investigation also revealed that the subject firm did not produce a 
component part that was used by a firm that employed workers eligible 
to apply for TAA and used the component parts in the production of the 
article that was the basis for the certification.
    The workers, in the request for reconsideration, state that subject 
firm's competitors and customer have increased imports of like or 
directly competitive articles from China. The workers also allege that 
the articles produced at the subject firm include door component parts 
(``door jambs, door T-AST, door mull posts'') and window component 
parts (``replacement window grills''), and that those articles are 
being imported from China.
    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, as 
amended.

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 7th day of October 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
