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 29, 2017 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Top Gun Investment Corp, also known as
NLMK Pennsylvania, LLC, a subsidiary of Novolipetsk Steel,
Farrell, Pennsylvania (TA-W-93,182) and Sharon Coating, LLC, a
subsidiary of Novolipetsk Steel, Sharon, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
93,182A). The workers' firm address provided in the petition
document was "15 Roemer Boulevard, Sharon, PA." However, the
investigation revealed that this address was in fact an
amalgamation of two different addresses, for two different
locations less than 1.5 miles apart from each other (one in
Farrell, Pennsylvania at 15 Roemer Boulevard and one in Sharon,
Pennsylvania). Both of these locations are named in the above
referenced ITC determination. For these reasons, it was decided
that the investigation would be expanded to include both
facilities. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of 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 NLMK PA and
Sharon Coating. Those locations were 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 Top Gun Investment
Corp, also known as NLMK Pennsylvania, LLC, a subsidiary of
Novolipetsk Steel, Farrell, Pennsylvania (TA-W-93,182) and
Sharon Coating, LLC, a subsidiary of Novolipetsk Steel,
Sharon, Pennsylvania (TA-W-93,182A), engaged in activities
related to the production of 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 Top Gun Investment Corp, also known as
NLMK Pennsylvania, LLC, a subsidiary of Novolipetsk
Steel, Farrell, Pennsylvania (TA-W-93,182) and Sharon
Coating, LLC, a subsidiary of Novolipetsk Steel, Sharon,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-93,182A), 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 29th day of November 2017.
