A SUBSIDIARY OF UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
DELTA, PONTOON AND GOOD SHEPHERD MEDICAL CENTER
LONE STAR, TEXAS

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in
such workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm, have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(ii) imports of articles like or directly competitive
with articles produced by such firm or subdivision have
increased; and
(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm or subdivision

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 28, 2015 by a State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers of U.S. Steel Tubular Products, Inc., Lone Star
Tubular Operations, a subsidiary of United States Steel
Corporation, Lone Star, Texas. The workers' firm is engaged
activities related to the production and finishing of tubular
products used in oil country tubular goods applications. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from Delta,
Pontoon and Good Shepherd Medical Center.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the United States
International Trade Commission (USITC).
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of tubular products by U.S. Steel Tubular
Products, Inc. have decreased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the article
produced by U.S. Steel Tubular Products, Inc. have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at U.S. Steel Tubular
Products, Inc., Lone Star Tubular Operations, a subsidiary of
United States Steel Corporation, Lone Star, Texas.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied
if the following criteria are met:
(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry
are adverse).

Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a
significant number of workers in the workers' firm are 50 years
of age or older.
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the
workers in the workers' firm possess skills that are not easily
transferrable.
Finally, Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because
conditions within the workers' industry are adverse.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of U.S. Steel Tubular
Products, Inc., Lone Star Tubular Operations, a subsidiary of
United States Steel Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Delta, Pontoon and Good Shepherd Medical Center,
Lone Star, Texas, who are engaged in activities related to the
production and finishing of tubular products meet the worker
group certification criteria under 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
§ 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
§ 2273, I make the following certification:


"All workers of U.S. Steel Tubular Products, Inc., Lone
Star Tubular Operations, a subsidiary of United States
Steel Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Delta, Pontoon, and Good Shepherd Medical Center, Lone
Star, Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 27, 2014 through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, and are also eligible to
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
