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 Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) petition filed on September 19, 2017
on behalf of workers of United States Steel Corporation, Granite
City, Illinois (subject firm). The subject firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of steel rods and coils.
The investigation revealed that the International Trade
Commission found excessive product dumping on certain hot-
rolled steel flat products (hot-rolled steel) from Australia,
Brazil, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, the
Republic of Turkey, and the United Kingdom. United States Steel
Corporation, Granite City, Illinois 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 TAA petition
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of United States Steel
Corporation, Granite City, Illinois, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of steel rods and coils,
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 United States Steel Corporation, Granite
City, Illinois, who became totally or partially separated
from 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 4th day of May 2018.
