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 Nucor Steel Kankakee, Inc., a Division of Nucor
Corporation, Bourbonnais, Illinois (Nucor Steel Kankakee).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of reinforcing bar (rebar) and steel bar products.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Manpower
US Inc. and Robert Half International, Inc.
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 Nucor
Steel Kankakee. 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 Nucor Steel Kankakee,
engaged in activities related to the production of reinforcing
bar (rebar) and steel bar products, 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 Nucor Steel Kankakee, Inc., a Division of
Nucor Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower US Inc. and Robert Half International, Inc.,
Bourbonnais, Illinois, 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.
