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 July 9, 2018 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Plymouth Tube Company, including on-site leased
workers from Addison Group, Advanced Resources, and
Cornerstone Staffing, Warrenville, Illinois (Plymouth). The
workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of
administrative support services including human resources,
accounting, sales, and IT in support of the production of cold-
drawn mechanical tubing.
The investigation revealed that on January 30, 2018, the
International Trade Commission found that members of the
industry producing cold-drawn mechanical tubing had been
materially injured by reason of imports. A petition has been
filed on behalf of workers of Plymouth stating that the subject
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 January 30, 2018, 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 Plymouth Tube
Company, including on-site leased workers from Addison Group,
Advanced Resources, and Cornerstone Staffing, Warrenville,
Illinois, engaged in activities related to the supply of
administrative support services including human resources,
accounting, sales, and IT in support of the production of cold-
drawn mechanical tubing 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 Plymouth Tube Company, including on-site
leased workers from Addison Group, Advanced Resources,
and Cornerstone Staffing, Warrenville, Illinois, who
became totally or partially separated from that employment
on or after January 30, 2017, through the date of the
certification and who become totally or partially separated
from that employment from the date of the certification
through January 30, 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 13th day of July 2018.
