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 16, 2012 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Keymark Corporation of Florida, Inc., a
subsidiary of Keymark Venture, Inc., Lakeland, Florida
(Keymark Corporation of Florida, Inc.). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of aluminum
extrusion used in manufacturing doors, windows, curtain walls,
store fronts, furniture and machinery & equipment
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 Keymark
Corporation of Florida, 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 Keymark Corporation
of Florida, Inc., a subsidiary of Keymark Venture, Inc.,
Lakeland, Florida, 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 Keymark Corporation of Florida, Inc., a
subsidiary of Keymark Venture, Inc., Lakeland, Florida,
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 19th day of June, 2012.
