(Department) issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance on February 9, 2011, applicable to
workers and former workers of RG Steel Sparrows Point LLC, formerly
known as Severstral Sparrows Point LLC, a subsidiary of RG Steel

On June 22, 2012, July 18, 2012, July 30, 2012 and January 16,
2013, the Department issued amended certification applicable to the
subject firm.
Workers at the subject firm were engaged in employment related

The Department reviewed the certification for workers and
former workers of the subject firm.
The Department has received information that workers leased

workers from Recycling & Treatment Technologies of Baltimore, LLC
were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Recycling & Treatment
Technologies of Baltimore, LLC who worked on-site at the Sparrows
Point, Maryland facility.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-74,919 is hereby issued

SEVERSTAL INTERNATIONAL
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF ECHELON SERVICE COMPANY, SUN

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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers’ firm have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers’ separation or threat
of separation and to the decline in the sales or production of
such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 23, 2010 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of Severstal International, Sparrows Point, Maryland. The
workers produce flat rolled steel. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Echelon Service Company, Sun Associated
Industries, Inc., MPI Consultants LLC, Alliance Engineering, Inc.,
Washington Group International, Javan & Walter, Inc., Kinetic
Technical Resources Co., Innovative Practical Approach, Inc., and
CPSI.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm,
including on-site leased workers, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of flat rolled steel, meet the criteria
for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject firm has been totally
separated from employment.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales and/or
production of flat rolled steel have decreased absolutely during
the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports by the
subject firm of articles like or directly competitive with flat
rolled steel produced at the Sparrows Point, Maryland facility
increased significantly during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased imports of flat rolled steel contributed importantly to
the worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Severstal International, Sparrows Point, Maryland.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Severstal International,
including on-site leased workers, Sparrows Point, Maryland, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of flat rolled
steel, 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 Severstal International, including on-site
leased workers from Echelon Service Company, Sun Associated
Industries, Inc., MPI Consultants LLC, Alliance Engineering,
Inc., Washington Group International, Javan & Walter, Inc.,
Kinetic Technical Resources Co., Innovative Practical
Approach, Inc., and CPSI, Sparrows Point, Maryland, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 22, 2009, 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.”
