GENEVA STEEL LLC
A SUBSIDIARY OF GENEVA STEEL HOLDINGS
VINEYARD, UTAH

Negative Determination 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 (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated on July 5, 2006 in response to
a petition filed by three workers on behalf of workers of Geneva
Steel LLC, a subsidiary of Geneva Steel Holdings, Vineyard, Utah.
The workers at the subject facility are engaged in the liquidation
and demolition of the assets of the mill.
The investigation revealed that Geneva Steel LLC, Vineyard,
Utah did not produce an article in the relevant one year period
prior to the date of the petition within the meaning of Section
222(a)(2) of the Act. In order to be considered eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, the worker group seeking certification (or on whose behalf
certification is being sought) must work for a "firm" or
appropriate subdivision that produces an article and there must be
a relationship between the workers' work and the article produced
by the workers' firm or appropriate subdivision. The subject
worker group does not support a firm or appropriate subdivision
that has produced an article domestically within the last year and
thus the worker group can not be considered import impacted or
affected by a shift in production of an article.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of
1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the worker group must be certified
eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance (TAA). Since the
workers are denied eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers cannot
be certified eligible for ATAA.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that all workers Geneva Steel LLC, a
subsidiary of Geneva Steel Holdings, Vineyard, Utah are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and are also denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974.
