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(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 17, 2009 by company official on behalf of
workers of Kaiser Aluminum Fabricated Products, LLC, Tulsa,
Oklahoma. The workers are engaged in employment related to
production of aluminum rod, bar and extruded seamless aluminum
tube.
The investigation revealed that workers of Kaiser Aluminum
Fabricated Products, LLC, Tulsa, Oklahoma, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of aluminum rod, bar, and
extrusion products, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because all the workers have
become separated at the Tulsa, Oklahoma location during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted remaining production at the Tulsa site to a foreign
country of articles like or directly competitive with the
products produced by the workers' firm at Tulsa.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Canada and United Kingdom by Kaiser Aluminum
Fabricated Products, LLC, contributed importantly to worker
separations at the Tulsa, Oklahoma facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Tulsa, Oklahoma,
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 Kaiser Aluminum Fabricated Products, LLC,
Tulsa, Oklahoma, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 26, 2008, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 22nd day of December, 2009
