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 the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Arconic Davenport Works, Global Rolled
Products Division, a subsidiary of Arconic Inc., Bettendorf,
Iowa. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of common alloy aluminum sheet and plate.
The investigation revealed that on February 5, 2019, the
International Trade Commission found that certain domestic
producers of common alloy aluminum sheet were materially
injured by imports from China. A petition has been filed on
behalf of workers of Arconic Davenport Works, Global Rolled
Products Division, a subsidiary of Arconic Inc., Bettendorf,
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 February 5, 2019, 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 Arconic Davenport
Works, Global Rolled Products Division, a subsidiary of
Arconic Inc., Bettendorf, Iowa, engaged in activities related to
the production of common alloy aluminum sheet and plates 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 Arconic Davenport Works, Global Rolled
Products Division, a subsidiary of Arconic Inc.,
Bettendorf, Iowa, who became totally or partially separated
from that employment on or after February 5, 2018, through
the date of the certification and who become totally or
partially separated from that employment from the date of
the certification through February 5, 2020, 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 24th day of April 2019.
