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 22, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Imperial Western Products, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from AMB AG Enterprise Inc., ATWork Franchise,
Inc., Labor Ready Southwest, Inc., and PeopleReady Inc.,
Coachella, California ("Imperial Western Products"). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
biodiesel, soap, lubricants and animal feed.
The investigation revealed that on December 28, 2017, the
International Trade Commission found that a domestic industry in
the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia. A petition has been filed
on behalf of workers of Imperial Western Products, Inc. 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 December 28, 2017, which is within one year of the
date of the petition filed requesting Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) Certification. The workers have become totally or
partially separated from the workers' firm within the relevant
period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Imperial Western
Products, Inc., including on-site leased workers from AMB AG
Enterprise Inc., ATWork Franchise, Inc., Labor Ready Southwest,
Inc., and PeopleReady Inc., Coachella, California, engaged in
activities related to the production of biodiesel, soap, lubricants
and animal feed 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 Imperial Western Products, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from AMB AG Enterprise Inc., ATWork
Franchise, Inc., Labor Ready Southwest, Inc., and
PeopleReady Inc., Coachella, California, who became totally
or partially separated from that employment on or after
December 28, 2016, through the date of the certification and
who become totally or partially separated from that employment
from the date of the certification through December 28, 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 21st day of June 2018.
