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 17, 2012 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Hydro Aluminum North America, Inc., Saint
Augustine Division, St. Augustine, Florida (Hydro Aluminum
North America, Inc., Saint Augustine Division). The subject
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek and
Robert Half International. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of extruded aluminum rod,
bar, and other extruded 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 Hydro
Aluminum North America, Inc., Saint Augustine Division. 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 Hydro Aluminum
North America, Inc., Saint Augustine Division, including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek and Robert Half
International, St. Augustine, Florida, engaged in activities
related to the production of extruded aluminum rod, bar, and
other extruded 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 Hydro Aluminum North America, Inc., Saint
Augustine Division, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek and Robert Half International, St. Augustine,
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 22nd day of June, 2012.
