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 April 23, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Milward Alloys Inc., Lockport, New York (herein
referred to as "Milward Alloys Inc."). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of phosphorous
copper shot and waffle. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Adecco Staffing.
The investigation revealed that on April 20, 2017, the
International Trade Commission found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
phosphorous copper from Korea. A petition has been filed on
behalf of workers of Milward Alloys Inc., Lockport, New York.
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 April 20, 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 Milward Alloys Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco Staffing, Lockport,
New York who are engaged in activities related to the production
of phosphorous copper shot and waffle 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 Milward Alloys Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Adecco Staffing, Lockport, New York
who became totally or partially separated from that
employment on or after April 20, 2016, through the date of
the certification and who become totally or partially
separated from that employment from the date of the
certification through April 20, 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 25th day of October 2018.
