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 May 18, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of SSAB Minnesota, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
SSAB Enterprises, LLC, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek and Volt Workforce Solutions, Roseville, Minnesota
("SSAB Minnesota, Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of fabricated steel
products.
The investigation revealed that on January 26, 2017, the
International Trade Commission found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Brazil, South
Africa, and Turkey. A petition has been filed on behalf of
workers of SSAB Minnesota. 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 January 26, 2017.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of SSAB Minnesota, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of SSAB Enterprises, LLC, including
on-site leased workers from Aerotek and Volt Workforce
Solutions, Roseville, Minnesota, engaged in activities related
to the production of fabricated steel 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 SSAB Minnesota, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of SSAB Enterprises, LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek and Volt Workforce Solutions,
Roseville, Minnesota, who became totally or partially
separated from that employment on or after January 26,
2016, through January 26, 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 11th day of September 2018.
