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 March 22, 2013 by the State of Washington on behalf of
workers of Katana Summit LLC, Ephrata, Washington (TA-W-82,588)
and Katana Summit LLC, Columbus, Nebraska (TA-W-82,588A)
(collectively referred to as "Katana"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of utility scale
wind towers. The worker groups do not include on-site leased
workers.
Katana 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). The
determination was published in the Federal Register on February
13, 2013, 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 Katana Summit LLC,
Ephrata, Washington (TA-W-82,588) and Katana Summit LLC, Columbus,
Nebraska (TA-W-82,588A), who are engaged in activities related to
the production of utility scale wind towers, 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 Katana Summit LLC, Ephrata, Washington (TA-W-
82,588) and Katana Summit LLC, Columbus, Nebraska (TA-W-
82,588A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 13, 2012, through the date of
the certification and who become totally or partially
separated from that employment from the date of the
certification through February 13, 2014, 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 April, 2013
