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 (B) or (C) of paragraph (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), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 14, 2017 by a state workforce official 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 (subject firm). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of steel
tubular products. The worker's firm was publicly identified by
name by the International Trade Commission (ITC) 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, workers separations from the
subject firm occurred within the statutory period and the ITC
determination was published in the Federal Register 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 U.S. Steel Tubular
Products, Inc., Lone Star Tubular Operations, a subsidiary of
United States Steel Corporation, Lone Star, Texas, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of steel tubular
products, 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 U.S. Steel Tubular Products, Inc., Lone
Star Tubular Operations, a subsidiary of United States
Steel Corporation, Lone Star, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 5,
2015 through December 5, 2017 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 13th day of April 2018.
