Stone Age Interiors, Inc.; d/b/a Colorado Springs Marble and 
Granite Including On-Site Leased Workers From Express Employment 
Professionals Colorado Springs, Colorado; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On June 7, 2013, the Department of Labor (Department) issued a 
Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration applicable to workers and former workers of Stone Age 
Interiors, Inc., d/b/a Colorado Springs Marble and Granite, Colorado 
Springs, Colorado (hereafter collectively referred to as either ``Stone 
Age Interiors'' or ``subject firm''). The subject firm is engaged in 
activities related to the production of finished stone fabrication 
products. The workers are not separately identifiable by product line.
    The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from 
Express Employment Professionals.
    Based on a careful review of previously-submitted information and 
additional information obtained during the reconsideration 
investigation, the Department determines that the petitioning worker 
group, including on-site leased workers, has met the eligibility 
criteria set forth in the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
    Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or 
proportion of the workers at Stone Age Interiors have become totally or 
partially separated, or are threatened with such separation.
    Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because Stone Age Interiors 
sales and/or production of finished stone fabrication products have 
decreased.
    Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate imports of 
articles like or directly competitive with the finished stone 
fabrication products produced by Stone Age Interiors have increased 
during the relevant period.
    Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because increased 
imports contributed importantly to the worker group separations and 
sales/production declines at Stone Age Interiors.

Conclusion

    After careful review of previously-submitted facts and the 
additional facts obtained during the reconsideration investigation, I 
determine that workers of Stone Age Interiors, Inc., d/b/a Colorado 
Springs Marble and Granite, including on-site leased workers from 
Express Employment Professionals, Colorado Springs, Colorado, meet the 
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 
U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 
2273, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Stone Age Interiors, Inc., d/b/a Colorado Springs 
Marble and Granite, including on-site leased workers from Express 
Employment Professionals, Colorado Springs, Colorado, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 
9, 2012, through two years from the date of this certification, and 
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation 
from employment on date of certification through two years from the 
date of certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended.


    Signed in Washington, DC, this day of August 13, 2013.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
