Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration

On December 3, 2010, the Department of issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for
workers of Vaughn Furniture Company, Inc., 816 Glendale Road,
Galax, Virginia. The Department’s Notice was published in the
Federal Register on December 13, 2010 (75 FR 77664). The subject
workers supplied services in support of furniture production.
The workers at Vaughan Administrative Building (TA-W-74,551)
supply support services to B.C. Vaughan Factory/Chestnut Creek
Veneer Building (TA-W-74,551A) and T.G. Vaughan Distribution
Center (TA-W-74,551B). The workers at all three locations are
engaged in employment related to the production of furniture.
Workers at the 255 Creekview Drive facility who were
separated on/after October 3, 2006 through October 12, 2009 are
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance and Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance under TA-W-62,250 (Vaughan Furniture
Company, Inc., 255 Creekview Drive, Galax, Virginia).
The investigation revealed that the three afore-mentioned
worker groups of Vaughan Furniture Company, Inc., Galax,
Virginia, have met the criteria for certification.
More than five percent of workers at each of the Galax,
Virginia facilities have been totally or partially separated, or
threatened with such separation.
Vaughan Furniture Company, Inc. had shifted to a foreign
country the production of articles like or directly competitive
with furniture produced by the subject firm in Galax, Virginia.
The shift of production contributed importantly to the
separations within the three afore-mentioned worker groups of
Vaughan Furniture Company, Inc., Galax, Virginia.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
reconsideration investigation, I determine that the three afore-
mentioned worker groups of Vaughan Furniture Company, Inc., Galax,
Virginia, 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 Vaughn Furniture Company, Inc., Vaughan
Administrative Building, 816 Glendale Road, Galax, Virginia
(TA-W-74,551) and Vaughn Furniture Company, Inc., T.G. Vaughan
Distribution Center, 100 T.G. Vaughan, Jr. Road, Galax,
Virginia (TA-W-74,551B) who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 17, 2009, through
two years from the date of certification, and all workers in
the group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on 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; and all workers of Vaughn Furniture Company,
Inc., B.C. Vaughan Factory/Chestnut Creek Veneer Building,

partially separated from employment on or after October 13,
2009, through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial


separation from employment on 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.”
