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 December 20, 2013 by the Texas State Workforce Office
on behalf of workers of Trinity Structural Towers, Inc.,
Coleman, Texas (TA-W-83,318) and Trinity Structural Towers,
Inc., Fort Worth, Texas (TA-W-83,318A) (both facilities are
hereafter referred to as "Trinity Structural"). The worker
group at Coleman, Texas (TA-W-83,318) includes on-site leased
workers from PDQ Staffing. The worker group at Fort Worth, Texas
(TA-W-83,318A) includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek and
PDQ Staffing. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of wind towers.
The investigation revealed that on February 13, 2013, the
International Trade Commission found that the industry of the
workers is materially injured or threatened with material
injury by reason of imports of utility scale wind towers from
China and Vietnam.
The workers' 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 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 Trinity Structural
Towers, Inc., Coleman, Texas (TA-W-83,318) and Trinity
Structural Towers, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas (TA-W-83,318A),
engaged in activities related to the production of 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 Trinity Structural Towers, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from PDQ Staffing, Coleman, Texas
(TA-W-83,318) and Trinity Structural Towers, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek and PDQ
Staffing, Fort Worth, Texas (TA-W-83,318A), 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
employment from the date of the certification through
February 13, 2014, and all workers in the group threatened
with total or partial separation from employment on the
date of 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 28th day of February, 2014
