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 5, 2019 by the State of Oregon on behalf of
former workers of EVRAZ Oregon Steel Mill/EVRAZ Oregon Steel
Tubular, a subsidiary of EVRAZ NA, Inc., Portland, Oregon.
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of large diameter welded pipe primarily used in the
oil and gas industry. The worker group does not include on-site
leased workers.
The investigation revealed that on February 5, 2019, the
International Trade Commission found an industry in the United
States is materially injured by reason of imports of carbon and
alloy (other than stainless) steel large diameter welded line
pipe from India provided for in subheadings 7305.11.10,
7305.11.50, 7305.12.10, 7305.12.50, 7305.19.10, and 7305.19.50
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States ("HTSUS")
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 subsidized by the government of India. The
Commission also determines that an industry in the United States
is threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of
carbon and alloy (other than stainless) steel large diameter
welded line pipe from China. Further, the Commission terminates
the countervailing duty investigation on carbon and alloy (other
than stainless) steel large diameter welded line pipe from
China.
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 February 5, 2019, which is within
one year of the date of the petition filed requesting Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) certification. And, worker
separations occurred at the subject firm during the relevant
period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of EVRAZ Oregon Steel
Mill/EVRAZ Oregon Steel Tubular, a subsidiary of EVRAZ NA,
Inc., Portland, Oregon, 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 EVRAZ Oregon Steel Mill/EVRAZ Oregon Steel
Tubular, a subsidiary of EVRAZ NA, Inc., Portland, Oregon,
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 24th day of May 2019.
