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 June 15, 2018 by the state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc., Keystone Steel
& Wire Division, Peoria, Illinois (Keystone-Peoria). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of steel
and wire products including carbon and alloy steel wire rod.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
ManPower and Kelly Services.
Workers of Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc., Peoria,
Illinois are eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) under TA-W-93,775 (certification expired on July 7, 2018).
The investigation revealed that on January 18, 2018, the
International Trade Commission (ITC) found that an industry in
the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Belarus, Russia,
and the United Arab Emirates.
A petition has been filed on behalf of workers of Keystone-
Peoria. 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 January 18, 2018, which is
within one year of the date of the TAA petition filed.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Keystone-Peoria,
engaged in activities related to the production of steel and wire
products including carbon and alloy steel wire rod, 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 Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc.,
Keystone Steel & Wire Division, including on-site leased
workers from ManPower and Kelly Services, Peoria, Illinois,
who became totally or partially separated from that
employment on or after July 8, 2018, through January 18,
2019, 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 28th day of September 2018.
