South Indiana Lumber Company, Inc.,
Liberty, KY; Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated July 26, 2007,
the petitioner 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
determination was signed on June 25,
2007 and published in the Federal
Register on July 19, 2007 (72 FR 39644).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of furniture blanks,
stair balusters, and handle blanks did
not contribute importantly to worker
separations at the subject firm and no
shift of production to a foreign source
occurred.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding the subject firm’s
customers.
The Department has reviewed the
workers’ request for reconsideration and
the existing record, and has determined
that an administrative review is
appropriate. Therefore, the Department
will conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act
of 1974.

is, therefore, granted.
