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 27, 2018 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of TAMCO, Gerdau-Rancho Cucamonga Division, Rancho
Cucamonga, California (Gerdau-Rancho Cucamonga). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
reinforcing bar (rebar). The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Robert Half, US Security & Associates,
Phoenix Services LLC, and Creative Maintenance Services.
The investigation revealed that on July 7, 2017, the
International Trade Commission (ITC) found that an industry in
the United States is materially injured by reason of imports
of rebar from Japan and Turkey.
A petition has been filed on behalf of workers of Gerdau-
Rancho Cucamonga. 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 July
7, 2017, which is within one year of the date of the petition
filed requesting Trade Adjustment Assistance certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Gerdau-Rancho
Cucamonga Division, engaged in activities related to the
production of reinforcing bar, 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 TAMCO, Gerdau-Rancho Cucamonga Division,
including on-site leased workers from Robert Half, US
Security & Associates, Phoenix Services LLC, and Creative
Maintenance Services, Rancho Cucamonga, California, who
became totally or partially separated from that employment
on or after July 7, 2016 through July 7, 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 24th day of May 2018.
