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 May 8, 2012 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Superior Extrusion, Inc., Gwinn, Michigan (Superior
Extrusion, Inc.) The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of extruded aluminum shapes.
The investigation revealed that on May 19, 2011, the
International Trade Commission found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
certain aluminum extrusions from China, other than finished heat
sinks.
A petition has been filed on behalf of workers of Superior
Extrusion, Inc. 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 Superior Extrusion,
Inc., Gwinn, Michigan, engaged in activities related to the
production of extruded aluminum shapes 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 Superior Extrusion, Inc., Gwinn, Michigan,
who became totally or partially separated from that
employment on or after May 19, 2010 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 30th day of May, 2012.
