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 August 24, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Granges Americas, Inc., Newport Facility, a
subsidiary of Granges AB, Newport, Arkansas. The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of rolled
aluminum.
The investigation revealed that on April 13, 2018, the
International Trade Commission found an industry in the United
States is materially injured by reason of imports of aluminum
from China. A petition has been filed on behalf of workers of
Granges Americas, Inc., Newport Facility, a subsidiary of
Granges AB, Newport, Arkansas. 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 April 13, 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 Granges Americas,
Inc., Newport Facility, a subsidiary of Granges AB, Newport,
Arkansas, engaged in activities related to the production of
rolled aluminum, 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 Granges Americas, Inc., Newport Facility,
a subsidiary of Granges AB, Newport, Arkansas, who became
totally or partially separated from that employment on or
after April 13, 2017, through the date of the certification
and who become totally or partially separated from that
employment from the date of the certification through April
13, 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 11th day of December 2018.
