SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Labor
(the Department or DOL), Employment
and Training Administration (ETA),
Office of Workforce Investment (OWI),
Division of Adult Services (DAS),
announces a grant competition for
operating the Housing Assistance
portion of the National Farmworker Jobs
Program (NFJP), under section 167 of
the Workforce Investment Act of 1998
(WIA), 29 U.S.C. 2912. Section 167(a) of
WIA requires the Secretary to conduct a
grants competition every two years for
the purpose of carrying out the activities
authorized under section 167. Although
housing assistance is identified in WIA

language directs the Department to
make available a specific amount of the
funds appropriated for the NFJP for
migrant and seasonal farmworkers
housing assistance grants, and requires
that no less than 70 percent of the
specified amount must be used for
permanent housing activities.
We are conducting this competition
before the passage of the Department of
Labor’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2011
appropriation in anticipation of the
appropriation of funds for Program Year
(PY) 2011 NFJP housing assistance
grants, but we will not obligate any
funds for PY 2011 grants unless and
until they are appropriated. The FY

Jeld-Wen Millwork Distribution,
Wilkesboro, NC; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On October 7, 2010, the Department
of Labor issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for workers and
former workers of Jeld-Wen Millwork
Distribution, Wilkesboro, North
Carolina (subject firm). The
Department’s Notice was published in
the Federal Register on October 25,
2010 (75 FR 65513).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c),
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The petition, filed by a company
official, stated that the workers
distribute ‘‘wood exterior door frames’’
and that ‘‘door frames are being
imported from China and South
America at a price we can’t compete
with at this location.’’

The initial negative determination
was 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 in 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 Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
and used the component parts in the
production of the article that was the
basis for the TAA certification.
The workers, in the request for
reconsideration, state that the 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’’).
Information obtained during the
reconsideration investigation confirmed
that the only articles produced by the
subject firm during the relevant period
are wood exterior door frames; that,
during the relevant period, the subject
firm did not increase reliance on
imports of wood exterior door frames;
and that the subject firm supplies
articles exclusively to internal
customers.
Moreover, information obtained
during the reconsideration investigation
confirmed that that the subject firm did
not perform a service (such as
distribution) that was used by a firm
that both employed a worker group
eligible to apply for TAA and directly
used the services supplied in the
production of an article or supply of a
service that was the basis for the TAA
certification.
Aggregate data reviewed during the
reconsideration investigation revealed
that U.S. imports of articles like or
directly competitive with wood exterior
door frames did not increase during the
relevant period.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of Jeld-Wen
Millwork Distribution, Wilkesboro,
North Carolina.

Flanders Tool Company, Inc., Flanders,
NJ; Notice of Negative Determination
on Reconsideration
On January 4, 2010, the Department of
Labor issued a Negative Determination
Regarding Eligibility to apply for worker
adjustment assistance for the workers
and former workers of Flanders Tool
Company, Flanders, New Jersey (the
subject firm). The Department’s Notice
was published in the Federal Register
on February 16, 2010 (75 FR 7039).
By application dated February 12,
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. At the
request of the petitioners, the
Department conducted further
investigation to determine if the workers
meet the eligibility requirements of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended. Workers
are engaged in employment related to
the production of precision cutting tools
and drills.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c),
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The initial negative determination
was based on the findings that there was
no increase in imports by the workers’
firm or customers of articles like or
directly competitive with precision
cutting tools and drills, or a shift to/
acquisition from a foreign country by
the workers’ firm in the production of
articles like or directly competitive with
precision cutting tools and drills, and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

that the workers’ firm did not produce
and supply directly component parts (or
services) to a firm that both employed
a worker group eligible to apply for
TAA and directly used the component
parts (or services) in the production of
the article or in the supply of the service
that was the basis for the TAA
certification.
The request for reconsideration stated
that the subject firm supplies products
to certified customers.
Information obtained during the
reconsideration investigation confirmed
that the subject firm did not produce
and supply directly component parts to
a firm that both employed a worker
group eligible to apply for TAA and
directly used the component parts in the
production of the article or in the
supply of the service that was the basis
for the TAA certification.
While tools and capital equipment are
used in the production of an article,
they are not component parts.
Information obtained during the
reconsideration investigation confirmed
that, during the relevant period, the
major declining customers of the subject
firm did not directly or indirectly
import articles like or directly
competitive with the precision cutting
tools and drills produced by the subject
firm.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of Flanders
Tool Company, Flanders, New Jersey.
Signed in Washington, DC, on this 4th day
of March 2011.

Ananke, Inc., Providence, RI; Notice of
Negative Determination on
Reconsideration
On December 1, 2010, the Department
of Labor issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of Ananke, Inc., Rhode
Island (subject firm). The Department’s
Notice was published in the Federal
Register on December 13, 2010 (75 FR

Fmt 4703

77664). The workers at the subject firm
supplied on-site application packaging
services to a financial services firm
located in Boston, Massachusetts.
Therefore, the worker group includes
workers who report to the subject firm
but are located in Massachusetts;
however, the worker group does not
include any on-site leased or temporary
workers.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c),
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The initial negative determination
was based on the findings that neither
the subject firm nor a declining
customer imported services like or
directly competitive with the
application packaging services supplied
by the subject workers; that the subject
firm did not shift to/acquire from a
foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the
application packaging services supplied
by the subject workers; and that workers
of the subject firm are not adversely
affected secondary workers.
The request for reconsideration states
that ‘‘Ananke Inc. performed application
packaging services for John Hancock
* * * In September 2009, John Hancock
replaced * * * Ananke Inc. with * * *
Cognizant Technology Solutions (an
offshoring/outsourcing company)’’ and
included support documentation.
Information obtained during the
reconsideration investigation confirmed
that, during the relevant period, neither
the subject firm nor a client firm shifted
to/acquired from a foreign country the
supply of services like or directly
competitive with the application
packaging services supplied by the
workers. Rather, the shift in the supply
of services that is alleged by the
petitioner is related to services that are
neither like nor directly competitive
with those supplied by the subject
workers.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of Ananke,
Inc., Rhode Island.
