Vaughan Furniture Company, Galax, VA; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated November 4, 2010, a worker requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of Vaughn Furniture Company, 
Galax, Virginia (subject firm). The determination was issued on October 
5, 2010. The Department's Notice of Determination was published in the 
Federal Register on October 25, 2010 (75 FR 65520). The workers supply 
administrative and support services in support of furniture production 
at foreign facilities.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that subject firm sales increased during the 
relevant period and the subject firm did not shift to/acquire from a 
foreign country the supply of services like or directly competitive 
with those supplied by the subject workers. The investigation also 
revealed that the workers at the subject firm did not qualify to apply 
for TAA as adversely-affected secondary workers.
    In the request for reconsideration, the worker states that he was 
part of the ``B.C. Vaughn plant'' and ``should not be considered an 
administrative and support services worker.'' The worker further states 
that his position ``was essential to the production operation'' because 
he was responsible for scheduling trucks used to move furniture from 
the production plant to the warehouse.
    The Department of Labor 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 3rd day of December, 2010.
