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 January 18, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of AMG Vanadium LLC, Cambridge, Ohio ("AMG Vanadium
LLC"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of ferrovanadium.
The investigation revealed that on May 12, 2017, the
International Trade Commission found that imports of
ferrovanadium was sold in the United States at less than fair
value as determined through section 735(b) of the Tariff Act
of 1930. A petition has been filed on behalf of workers of AMG
Vanadium, LLC, Cambridge, Ohio. 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 May 12, 2017, 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 AMG Vanadium LLC,
Cambridge, Ohio, engaged in activities related to the production
of ferrovanadium 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 AMG Vanadium LLC, Cambridge, Ohio, who
became totally or partially separated from that employment
on or after May 12, 2016, through the date of the
certification and who become totally or partially separated
from that employment from the date of the certification
through May 12, 2018, 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 22nd day of February 2018.
