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 May 3, 2017 on behalf of workers of Canam Steel
Corporation, a subsidiary of Canam US Holdings, Inc., a
subsidiary of Canam Group, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Point of Rocks, Maryland (Canam Steel).
The subject firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of structural steel bridge components and steel
joists and deck components.
During the investigation, the Department obtained
information from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at Canam Steel 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 Canam Steel
sales and/or production have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the structural steel
bridge components and steel joists and deck components produced
by Canam Steel have increased during the relevant period when
compared to the representative base period.
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 Canam Steel.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Canam Steel
Corporation, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of structural steel bridge components and steel
joists and deck components, meet the group eligibility
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 Canam Steel Corporation, a subsidiary of
Canam US Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of Canam Group, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Point of
Rocks, Maryland, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 2, 2016, 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 10th day of July 2017.
