In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as

a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on February 25, 2010, applicable to workers and former

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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

II. the workers’ firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received
a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or
production is related to the article or service that
was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and the component parts
it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers’ firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers’ firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers’ separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term “Supplier” as “a firm that produces and supplies directly to
another firm component parts for articles, or in the supply of
services, as the case may be, that were the basis for a
certification of eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222
of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such other firm.”
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 11, 2009, by the United Steel Workers, Local 9448,
on behalf of workers of ALCOA Mill Products Texarkana, a
subsidiary of ALCOA, Inc., Nash, Texas (ALCOA Mill Products
Texarkana). The workers are engaged in employment related to the
production of rolled aluminum sheet.
The investigation revealed that workers of ALCOA Mill
Products Texarkana, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of rolled aluminum sheet, meet the criteria as
suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion or
number of the workers in the workers’ firm have become totally or
partially separated.
Criterion II has been met because ALCOA Mill Products
Texarkana produced and sold an article to be incorporated into
processed aluminum by a firm whose workers were certified
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on the
basis of that article.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business by
ALCOA Mill Products Texarkana to the TAA-certified firm, with
respect to rolled aluminum sheet, contributed importantly to the
worker separations at the Nash, Texas facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ALCOA Mill Products
Texarkana, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of rolled aluminum sheet, 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 ALCOA Mill Products Texarkana, a subsidiary
of ALCOA, Inc., Nash, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 11, 2008, 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 through two years
from 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.”
