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(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:

(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by
the International Trade Commission as a member of a
domestic industry in an investigation resulting in--

(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);

(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption
or threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or

(C) an affirmative final determination of material
injury or threat thereof under section
705(b)(1)(A) or 735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A) and
1673d(b)(1)(A));

(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period
beginning on the date on which--

(A) a summary of the report submitted to the
President by the International Trade Commission
under section 202(f)(1) with respect to the
affirmative determination described in paragraph

(1)(A) is published in the Federal Register under
section 202(f)(3); or

(B) notice of an affirmative determination described
in subparagraph (B) or (C) of paragraph (1) is
published in the Federal Register; and

(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--

(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or

(B) notwithstanding section 223(b), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 9, 2020 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
former workers of Lanz Cabinets Shop, Inc., Eugene, Oregon
(Lanz Cabinets). Lanz Cabinets is engaged in activities related
to the production of kitchen and bath cabinets. The subject
worker group does not include on-site leased workers.

The investigation revealed that on April 26, 2019, the
International Trade Commission found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
wooden cabinets and vanities from China. The workers' firm was
publicly identified by name by the International Trade
Commission as a member of a domestic industry in an
investigation resulting in a category of determination that is
listed in Section 222(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e). In
addition, that determination was published in the Federal
Register on April 26, 2019, which is within one year of the
date of the petition filed requesting Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) certification.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Lanz Cabinets, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of kitchen
and bath cabinets, meet the requirements of Section 222(e) of
the Act. In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, I make the
following certification:

"All workers of Lanz Cabinets Shop, Inc., Eugene, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from that
employment on or after April 26, 2018, through April 26,
2020 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 15th day of January, 2021
