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 March 1, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf of
former workers of Nucor Skyline Steel, LLC, Newton, Illinois. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of large diameter welded pipe.
The subject worker group does not include on-site leased
workers.
The investigation revealed that on February 5, 2019, the
International Trade Commission (ITC) found that an industry in
the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
large diameter welded pipe from China and India. A petition has
been filed on behalf of workers of Nucor Skyline Steel, LLC,
Newton, Illinois. 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 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 Nucor Skyline Steel,
LLC, Newton, Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of large diameter welded pipe, 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 Skyline Steel, LLC, Newton, Illinois,
who became totally or partially separated from that
employment on or after February 5, 2018, 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 16th day of May 2019.
