[TA–W–62,101] 

American Woodmark, Hardy County 

Plant, Moorefield, WV; Notice of 

Negative Determination on 

Reconsideration 

On November 30, 2007, the 

Department issued an Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration for the workers and 

former workers of the subject firm. The 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register on December 11, 2007 (72 FR 

70344). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of kitchen cabinet 

parts did not contribute importantly to 

worker separations at the subject firm 

and no shift of production to a foreign 

source occurred. The investigation also 

revealed that the products manufactured 

at the subject firm are sent to other 

affiliated facilities for further finishing 

and assembly. 

The Carpenters Industrial Council, 

United Brotherhood of Carpenters and 

Joiners of America filed a request for 

reconsideration in which they contend 

that the workers of the subject firm 

build and assemble the finished 

products, which does not require further 

manufacturing and are sold to 

customers. The petitioner also requested 

that the Department of Labor investigate 

whether there was an increase in 

imports of articles like or directly 

competitive with products 

manufactured at the subject firm. 

The Department contacted a company 

official to verify products manufactured 

at the subject firm and whether the 

subject firm had any outside customers. 

During reconsideration, the company 

official provided new information and 

confirmed that the subject firm 

manufactures kitchen cabinet parts and 

hardwood cabinets which are sold to 

outside customers. The official also 

supplied the Department with a list of 

major declining customers who 

purchased hardwood cabinets from the 

subject firm. 

The Department of Labor surveyed the 

major declining customers of the subject 

firm regarding their purchases of like or 

directly competitive products with 

hardwood cabinets purchased from the 

subject firm in 2005, 2006, and during 

January through September 2007 over 

the corresponding 2006 period. The 

survey revealed that the customers did 

not increase their import purchases 

while decreasing purchases from the 

subject firm. 

The subject firm did not import 

hardwood cabinets nor was there a shift 

in production from subject firm abroad 

during the relevant period. 

Conclusion 

After reconsideration, I affirm the 

original notice of negative 

determination of eligibility to apply for 

worker adjustment assistance for
