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 February 25, 2019 by state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Aleris Davenport Rolling Mill, including on-site
leased workers from Robert Half and Team Staffing Solutions,
Inc., Davenport, Iowa. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of common alloy aluminum.
The investigation revealed that, on November 15, 2018, the
International Trade Commission determined that an industry in
the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
common alloy aluminum sheet from China, that have been found by
the U.S. Department of Commerce ("Commerce") to be sold in the
United States at less than fair value ("LTFV"), and to be
subsidized by the government of China. A petition has been
filed on behalf of workers of Aleris Davenport Rolling Mill,
Davenport, Iowa. 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 November 15, 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 Aleris Davenport
Rolling Mill, Davenport, Iowa, 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 Aleris Davenport Rolling Mill, including
on-site leased workers from Robert Half and Team Staffing
Solutions, Inc., Davenport, Iowa, who became totally or
partially separated from that employment on or after
November 15, 2017 through November 15, 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 1st day of November 2019.
