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 21, 2012 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Frontier Aluminum, Corona, California. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Kamran Staffing and
Secure Staffing. 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 (ITC) found that an industry in
the U.S. is materially injured by reason of imports of certain
aluminum extrusions from China, other than finished heat sinks.
A Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) petition has been filed
on behalf of workers of Frontier Aluminum, Corona, California.
That firm was publicly identified by name by the ITC 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 TAA
certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Frontier Aluminum,
including on-site leased workers from Kamran Staffing and Secure
Staffing, Corona, California, who are 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 Frontier Aluminum, including on-site leased
workers from Kamran Staffing and Secure Staffing, Corona,
California, 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 25th day of June, 2012
