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 February 6, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of BASF Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from Mundy Maintenance, Burrow Globe, Performance Com, Kelly
Services Inc., Winfield Solutions, Furmanite TE, KAP Project
Service, John Crane Inc., Software Inc., Railserve Inc.,
Infinity Cons, Central Software, United Electrical, Axion
Logistics, NCIMB Ltd, G4S Security, TGE Industrial Service,
Zachry Cons, Richardson's, WATCO Co., George L. Redilla,
Robertson Johns, Certified Safety, Celanese, Zuniga Logistics,
Lynette Siebert, In-time Inc., Livingston Inc., ATOS IT
Solutions, Class 1 Controls, Goodman-Reichv, Universal Plant
Serv, Helms Mullis, Eurofins Genesca, Nationwide, Guardian,
Costpoint, McGill Maintenance, Veolia Environmental, Ladas &
Parry, Nextsource, and CDI Engineers, Freeport, Texas are the
subject of this investigation ("BASF Corporation").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of ammonium sulfate and aluminum potassium sulfate.
The investigation revealed that on March 7, 2017, the
United States International Trade Commission (ITC) found that
BASF Corporation is a member of a domestic industry in an
investigation resulting in an affirmative determination of
serious injury or threat thereof under section 202(b)(1). A
petition has been filed on behalf of workers of BASF Chemicals
Division. 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 March 7,
2017, which is within one year of the date of the petition,
filed requesting Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
Certification.
