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 30, 2018 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Joseph T. Ryerson & Son, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Ryerson Holding Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Personnel Placements and Dawson Employment
Service, Blytheville, Arkansas (Ryerson-Blytheville). 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.
Ryerson-Blytheville 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
requesting Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ryerson-Blytheville,
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 Personnel Placements and Dawson
Employment Service, Blytheville, Arkansas, who became
totally or partially separated from that employment on or
after January 26, 2016 through 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.
