Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a Firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 22, 2009, by a company official on behalf of
workers of ArborCraft, LLC, a subsidiary of Harris Wood Holding,
LLC, Johnson City, Tennessee, (TA-W-71,342) and ArborCraft, LLC,
a subsidiary of Harris Wood Holding, LLC, Montpelier, Indiana
(TA-W-71,342A). The workers produce hardwood flooring for
residential and commercial use. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers at Aerotek Commercial Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of ArborCraft, LLC
who are engaged in employment related to production of hardwood
flooring meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of workers have been separated during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of hardwood flooring by ArborCraft, LLC have
decreased absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the hardwood
flooring produced by ArborCraft, LLC have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of hardwood flooring by customers of
ArborCraft, LLC contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at the Johnson City,
Tennessee and Montpelier, Indiana facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ArborCraft, LLC, a
subsidiary of Harris Wood Holding, LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek Commercial Staffing, Johnson City,
Tennessee, (TA-W-71,342) and ArborCraft, LLC, a subsidiary of
Harris Wood Holding, LLC, Montpelier, Indiana, (TA-W-71,342A)
who are engaged in employment related to hardwood flooring for
residential and commercial use meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:




"All workers of ArborCraft, LLC, a subsidiary of Harris
Wood Holding, LLC, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek Commercial Staffing, Johnson City, Tennessee, (TA-
W-71,342) and ArborCraft, LLC, a subsidiary of Harris Wood
Holding, LLC, Montpelier, Indiana, (TA-W-71,342A) who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 19, 2008, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 20th day of January, 2010
