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(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e), are
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 April 25, 2012 by a Massachusetts state workforce
official on behalf of workers of Silver City Aluminum
Corporation, Taunton, Massachusetts. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of aluminum
extrusions.
The investigation revealed that on May 19, 2011, the
International Trade Commission found that "countervailable
subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of
aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China," and
thusly issued an affirmative countervailing duty
determination. A petition has been filed on behalf of workers
of Silver City Aluminum Corporation, Taunton, Massachusetts.
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(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e).
In addition, that determination was published in the Federal
Register on May 19, 2011, which is within one year of the date
of the petition filed requesting Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) Certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Silver City
Aluminum Corporation, Taunton, Massachusetts, engaged in
activities related to the production of aluminum extrusions,
meet the requirements of Section 222(e) of the Act. In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Silver City Aluminum Corporation,
Taunton, Massachusetts, who became totally or partially
separated from that employment on or after May 19, 2010,
through the date of the certification and who become
totally or partially separated from that employment from
the date of the certification through May 19, 2012, 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 20th day of June, 2012.
