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;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 5, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Masco Cabinetry LLC, a subsidiary of Masco
Corporation, Atkins, Virginia (Masco). The subject workers are
engaged in employment related to the production of cabinets and
drawer fronts (for kitchen and bathroom cabinets).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the articles produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Masco Cabinetry LLC, Atkins, Virginia.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Masco Cabinetry LLC,
Atkins, Virginia, who are/were engaged in employment related to
the production of cabinets and drawer fronts (for kitchen and
bathroom cabinets), 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 Masco Cabinetry LLC, a subsidiary of Masco
Corporation, Atkins, Virginia, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 4,
2012, 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 3rd day of June, 2013
