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(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 have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm 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.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 30, 2015 by International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Local 688, on behalf of workers of Feralloy
Corporation, St. Louis Division, Granite City, Illinois. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of processed steel.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the American Iron and Steel
Institute and the United States Census Bureau.
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 processed steel by Feralloy Corporation,
St. Louis Division, Granite City, Illinois have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by Feralloy Corporation, St. Louis Division,
Granite City, Illinois have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased aggregate imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Feralloy Corporation, St. Louis Division, Granite City,
Illinois.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Feralloy Corporation,
St. Louis Division, Granite City, Illinois, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of processed steel meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 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 Feralloy Corporation, St. Louis Division,
Granite City, Illinois, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 1, 2014,
through two years from the date of certification, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 1th day of December 2015.
