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 26, 2013 by the Illinois State Workforce
Office on behalf of workers of Trinity Structural Towers, Inc.,
Clinton, Illinois (hereafter referred to as "Trinity
Structural"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of wind towers. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Aerotek.
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). 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., Clinton, Illinois, 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 Aerotek, Clinton, Illinois,
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, 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 16th day of January 2014
