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(f) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(f), can be
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 (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)(1), 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 2, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of IPSCO Tubulars Inc., Camanche, Iowa. The workers
are engaged in activities related to production of steel pipe
and tubular products.
The investigation revealed that on July 15, 2008, the
International Trade Commission found that IPSCO Tubulars Inc.
is materially injured by reason of imports from China of
circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe. A petition has been
filed on behalf of workers of IPSCO Tubulars Inc. That 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(f) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(f). In
addition, that determination was made on July 15, 2008, which is
within one year of the date of the petition filed requesting
TAA Certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of IPSCO Tubulars Inc.,
Camanche, Iowa, who are engaged in activities related to
production of steel pipes and tubular products meet the
requirements of Section 222(f) of the Act. In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, I make the following certification:
“All workers of IPSCO Tubulars Inc., Camanche, Iowa, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 15, 2007, through July 15, 2009, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II
of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.“
