herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment

The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm

satisfied if the following criteria are met:

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 21, 2017 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of EVRAZ Oregon Steel, Rolling Facility, a
subsidiary of EVRAZ Inc. NA, EVRAZ North America plc, EVRAZ
Group SA, EVRAZ plc, Portland, Oregon (herein known as “EVRAZ
Oregon Steel” or “workers’ firm”). The workers’ firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of steel coils, plates
and plate in coil that are rolled from steel slabs into
thinner forms plate in coil and plate cut lengths.
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 EVRAZ
Oregon Steel, Portland, Oregon. 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 EVRAZ Oregon Steel,
Rolling Facility, a subsidiary of EVRAZ Inc. NA, EVRAZ North
America plc, EVRAZ Group SA, EVRAZ plc, Portland, Oregon,
engaged in activities related to the production of steel coils,
plates and plate in coil that are rolled from steel slabs into
thinner forms plate in coil and plate cut lengths 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 EVRAZ Oregon Steel, Rolling Facility, a
subsidiary of EVRAZ Inc. NA, EVRAZ North America plc,
EVRAZ Group SA, EVRAZ plc, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Portland, Oregon, who became totally
or partially separated from that employment on or after
September 29, 2015, through the date of the certification
and who become totally or partially separated from that
employment from the date of the certification 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.“
