ARCELORMITTAL RIVERDALE LLC
A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ARCELORMITTAL USA LLC
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
ADECCO, PHOENIX, AND KT GRANT
RIVERDALE, ILLINOIS
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 19, 2017, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of ArcelorMittal Riverdale LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of ArcelorMittal USA LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Adecco, Phoenix, and KT Grant, Riverdale, Illinois
("ArcelorMittal Riverdale LLC"). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of hot-rolled steel
sheet.
The investigation revealed that on September 29, 2016, the
International Trade Commission found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
certain hot-rolled steel flat products from Australia, Brazil,
Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
A petition has been filed on behalf of workers of
ArcelorMittal Riverdale LLC, Riverdale, Illinois. That 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). In
addition, that determination was published in the Federal
Register on September 29, 2016, 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 ArcelorMittal
Riverdale LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ArcelorMittal USA
LLC, including on-site leased workers from Adecco, Phoenix, and
KT Grant, Riverdale, Illinois, engaged in activities related to
the production of hot-rolled steel sheet, 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 ArcelorMittal Riverdale LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of ArcelorMittal USA LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Adecco, Phoenix, and KT Grant,
Riverdale, Illinois, who became totally or partially
separated from that employment on or after September 29,
2015 through September 29, 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 10th day of October 2017.
