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 Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) petition filed on July 9, 2018 by
the state workforce office on behalf of workers of Nucor Steel
Birmingham, Inc., a Division of Nucor Corporation, Birmingham,
Alabama (Nucor-Birmingham). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of steel concrete
reinforcing bar (rebar). The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from ITAC Solutions, PangeaTwo, Randstad,
Peopleready Florida, Inc., and Staffmark.
The investigation revealed that on July 7, 2017, the
International Trade Commission (ITC) 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-Birmingham. 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 July 7, 2017, which is within one year of
the date of the TAA petition (July 6, 2018).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Nucor-Birmingham,
engaged in activities related to the production of steel
concrete reinforcing bar (rebar), 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 Birmingham, Inc., a Division
of Nucor Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
ITAC Solutions, PangeaTwo, Randstad, Peopleready Florida,
Inc., and Staffmark, Birmingham, Alabama, who became
totally or partially separated from that employment on or
after July 7, 2016, 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 28th day of September 2018.
