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 Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc., Keystone
Steel & Wire Division, Peoria, Illinois (Keystone-Peoria).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of coiled rebar. The subject worker group includes
on-site leased workers from ManPower and Kelly Services. Workers
are not separately identifiable by article.
The investigation revealed that on July 7, 2017, the
International Trade Commission 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 Keystone-
Peoria. 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 Keystone Consolidated
Industries, Inc., Keystone Steel & Wire Division, including on-
site leased workers from ManPower and Kelly Services, Peoria,
Illinois, engaged in activities related to the production of
coiled rebar, 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 Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc.,
Keystone Steel & Wire Division, including on-site leased
workers from ManPower and Kelly Services, Peoria, Illinois,
who became totally or partially separated from that
employment on or after July 7, 2016, through the date of
the certification and who become totally or partially
separated from that employment from the date of the
certification 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 19th day of June 2018.
