American Woodmark Corporation,
Moorefield, WV; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On May 21, 2012, the Department of
Labor (Department) issued an
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration for the
workers and former workers of
American Woodmark Corporation,
Moorefield, West Virginia (subject firm).
The Department’s Notice was published
in theFederal Register on June 6, 2012
(77 FR 33491). The workers are engaged
in employment related to the
production of kitchen and bath
cabinetry products.
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 initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
findings that worker separations were
not attributable to increased imports of
kitchen and bath cabinetry, or articles
like or directly competitive, by the
subject firm or its declining customers.
Further, worker separations were not
attributable to a shift of production of
kitchen and bath cabinetry, or articles
like or directly competitive, to a foreign
country, or a foreign acquisition of these
products by the workers’ firm.
In the request for reconsideration,
petitioners alleged that workers at the
subject firm were impacted by increased
import competition of kitchen and bath
cabinetry products or like or directly
competitive articles.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department reviewed
and confirmed information collected
during the initial investigation and
collected additional information from
the subject firm.
The reconsideration investigation
findings confirmed that the subject firm
and its major customers did not import
articles like or directly competitive with
kitchen and bath cabinetry products in
the period under investigation.

Additionally, the reconsideration
investigation findings confirmed that
the subject firm did not shift the
production of kitchen and bath
cabinetry products, or like or directly
competitive articles, to a foreign country
or acquire the production of such
articles from a foreign country.
After careful review of the request for
reconsideration, previously-submitted
information, and information obtained
during the reconsideration
investigation, the Department
determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has not
been met.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that
the requirements of Section 222 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. 272, have not been met
and, therefore, deny the petition for
group eligibility of to apply for
adjustment assistance, in accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
2273.
Signed in Washington, DC, on this 13th
day of July, 2012.
