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 April 17, 2013 on behalf of workers of Eagle
Industries, LLC, Bowling Green, Kentucky. The workers at the
subject firm produce non-upholstered hardwood furniture.
Workers of Eagle Industries, LLC, Bowling Green, Kentucky
were previously certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under petition number TA-W-74,760. That
certification expired on January 21, 2013.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the firm and the U.S. International Trade
Commission.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of non-upholstered hardwood furniture
produced by Eagle Industries, LLC, Bowling Green, Kentucky
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the articles
produced by Eagle Industries, LLC, have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Eagle Industries,
LLC, Bowling Green, Kentucky.
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 activities
related to production of non-upholstered hardwood furniture 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 January 22, 2013, 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, 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 26th day of June, 2013
