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 February 10, 2011, by an authorized representative on
behalf of workers of ArcelorMittal Laplace, LLC, Harriman,
Tennessee. The workers produce hot rolled steel bars. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from G&A
Environmental Contractors, Inc. and Dynamic Security, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of ArcelorMittal
Laplace, LLC, Harriman, Tennessee who are engaged in employment
related to production of hot rolled steel bars, meet the
criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of workers have been separated or threatened with
separation during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of hot rolled steel bars by ArcelorMittal
Laplace, LLC, Harriman, Tennessee have decreased absolutely
during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because U.S.
aggregate imports of articles like or directly competitive
with the hot rolled steel bars produced by the firm have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased U.S. aggregate imports of hot rolled steel bars
contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at ArcelorMittal Laplace, LLC,
Harriman, Tennessee.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ArcelorMittal
Laplace, LLC, Harriman, Tennessee, who are engaged in employment
related to production of hot rolled steel bars, 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 ArcelorMittal Laplace, LLC, including on-
site leased workers from G&A Environmental Contractors Inc.
and Dynamic Security, Harriman, Tennessee, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 9, 2010, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 5th day of April, 2011
