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 30, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf of workers of
REG Danville, LLC, a subsidiary of REG Biofuels, LLC, Danville,
Illinois ("REG Danville, LLC"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of biomass-based diesel and
glycerin.
The investigation revealed that on December 28, 2017, the
International Trade Commission found the International Trade
Commission found that REG Danville, LLC is a member of a domestic
industry in an investigation resulting in an affirmative
determination of serious injury or threat thereof under section
202(b) (1). A petition has been filed on behalf of workers of REG
Danville, LLC. 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 relevant
period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of REG Danville, LLC, a
subsidiary of REG Biofuels, LLC, Danville, Illinois, engaged in
activities related to the production of biomass-based diesel and
glycerin 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 REG Danville, LLC, a subsidiary of REG
Biofuels, LLC, Danville, Illinois, 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.
