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 31, 2018 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Nucor Steel Auburn, Inc., a division of Nucor
Corporation, Auburn, New York (Nucor-Auburn). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of steel
reinforcing bar (rebar) and steel products. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek and EFPR Group
LLP. Workers are not separately identifiable by articles.
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 Nucor-Auburn. 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 July 7, 2017, which is
within one year of the date of the petition filed requesting
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Nucor Steel Auburn,
Inc., a division of Nucor Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek and EFPR Group LLP, Auburn, New
York, engaged in activities related to the production of steel
reinforcing bar (rebar) and 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 Nucor Steel Auburn, Inc., a division of
Nucor Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek and EFPR Group LLP, Auburn, New York, 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 22nd day of June 2018.
