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(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 31, 2017 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Echo Bay Minerals Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Spring Clean, Golder Associates
Corporation, Stotts Construction Inc., ACI Northwest Inc. and
Universal Protection Service LP, Republic, Washington (TA-W-
93,263), and on-site leased workers from Alaska Aggregate and
Aspect Consulting, reporting to Echo Bay Minerals Company, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation, Republic,
Washington (TA-W-93,263A) (hereafter collectively referred to
as "Echo Bay Minerals Company"). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of gold doré.
Workers of the subject firm are eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance under TA-W-90,109 (certification expired
November 4, 2017).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Echo Bay Minerals Company
have become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the gold doré produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Echo Bay Minerals Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Echo Bay Minerals
Company, Republic, Washington (TA-W-93,263 and TA-W-93,263A),
who are engaged in activities related to the production of gold
doré, meet the worker group certification criteria under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Echo Bay Minerals Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Spring Clean, Golder Associates
Corporation, Stotts Construction Inc., ACI Northwest Inc.
and Universal Protection Service LP, Republic, Washington
(TA-W-93,263), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 5, 2017 through two
years from the date of certification, and on-site leased
workers from Alaska Aggregate and Aspect Consulting,
reporting to Echo Bay Minerals Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corporation, Republic,
Washington (TA-W-93,263A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October
24, 2016 through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, 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 1th day of December 2017.
