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 June 1, 2020, by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of American Woodmark Corporation, Gas City, Indiana. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of wooden kitchen and bath cabinetry, typically used in
residential homes.

The investigation revealed that on April 17, 2020, the U.S.
International Trade Commission determined, pursuant to the Tariff
Act of 1930, that an industry in the United States is materially
injured by reason of imports of wooden cabinets and vanities from
China, that have been found by the U.S. Department of Commerce to
be sold in the United States at less than fair value, and to be
subsidized by the government of China.

A petition was filed on behalf of workers of American
Woodmark Corporation, Gas City, Indiana. The 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 17, 2020, which is within one year of the date
of the petition filed requesting Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) Certification.

Lastly, worker separations occurred during the one-year
period preceding the date that the notice was published, and the
one-year period after, within the Federal Register.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of American Woodmark
Corporation, Gas City, Indiana, engaged in activities related to
the production of wooden kitchen and bath cabinetry, 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 American Woodmark Corporation, Gas City,
Indiana, who became totally or partially separated from that
employment on or after April 17, 2019, through the date of
the certification and who become totally or partially
separated from that employment from the date of the
certification through April 17, 2021, 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.
