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 March 30, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Outokumpu Stainless USA, LLC, a subsidiary of
Outokumpu Oyj, including on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services, Calvert, Alabama (Outokumpu Stainless USA, LLC). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of stainless steel coils and sheets.
The investigation revealed that on March 30, 2017, the
United States International Trade Commission (ITC) found that
an industry in the United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of stainless steel. A petition has been
filed on behalf of workers of Outokumpu Stainless USA, LLC,
Calvert, Alabama. 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 30, 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 Outokumpu Stainless
USA, LLC, a subsidiary of Outokumpu Oyj, including on-site
leased workers from Kelly Services, Calvert, Alabama, engaged
in activities related to the production of stainless steel coils
and sheets 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 Outokumpu Stainless USA, LLC, a subsidiary
of Outokumpu Oyj, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services, Calvert, Alabama, who became totally or
partially separated from that employment on or after March
30, 2016, through the date of the certification and who
become totally or partially separated from that employment
from the date of the certification through March 30, 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 17th day of April 2018.
