JOSEPH T. RYERSON & SON, INC.
A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF RYERSON HOLDING CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM COMET
VERNON, CALIFORNIA
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 26, 2018 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Joseph T. Ryerson & Son, Inc., a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Ryerson Holding Corporation, Vernon,
California (Ryerson-Vernon). The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Comet. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of metal products,
including carbon and alloy steel.
The investigation revealed that the International Trade
Commission (ITC) found that an industry in the United States
is materially injured by reason of imports of carbon and alloy
steel cut-to-length plate from Brazil, South Africa, and
Turkey.
A petition has been filed on behalf of workers of Ryerson-
Vernon. That firm was publicly identified by name by the ITC 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 January 26, 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 Ryerson-Vernon,
engaged in activities related to the production of metal
products, including carbon and alloy steel, 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 Joseph T. Ryerson & Son, Inc., a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Ryerson Holding Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Comet, Vernon,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
that employment on or after January 26, 2016, through the
January 26, 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 20th day of April 2018.
