Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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 October 20, 2010 by a company official on behalf of workers of
Eagle Industries, LLC, Bowling Green, Kentucky (subject firm). The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of non-
upholstered hardwood furniture and other related articles.
The worker group does not include any on-site leased workers.
The investigation revealed that workers at the subject firm,
who are engaged in employment related to the production of non-
upholstered hardwood furniture and other related articles, meet the
criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion or number of workers at the subject firm has been
totally or partially separated, or threatened with separation,
during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because subject firm
sales and/or production decreased absolutely during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate United
States imports of articles like or directly competitive with those
produced by the subject firm increased significantly during the
relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased United States aggregate imports of non-upholstered
hardwood furniture and other related articles like or directly
competitive with those produced by the subject firm contributed
importantly to worker group separations and sales/production
declines at Eagle Industries, LLC, Bowling Green.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation,
I determine that workers of Eagle Industries, LLC, Bowling Green,
Kentucky, who are engaged in employment related to the production of
non-upholstered hardwood furniture and other related articles, 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 Eagle Industries, LLC, Bowling Green, Kentucky,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 15, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 21st day of January, 2011
