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 June 27, 2019, by a state workforce official on behalf of
former workers of Arconic Lancaster DBA Alumax Mill Products,
Inc., Global Rolled Products Division, a subsidiary of Arconic,
Inc., Lancaster, Pennsylvania (subject firm). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of common alloy
aluminum.
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
common alloy aluminum sheet from China. A petition has been filed
on behalf of workers of the subject firm. The subject 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 (June 26, 2019) filed
requesting Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Arconic Lancaster DBA
Alumax Mill Products, Inc., Global Rolled Products Division, a
subsidiary of Arconic, Inc., Lancaster Pennsylvania, engaged in
activities related to the production of common alloy 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 Arconic Lancaster DBA Alumax Mill Products,
Inc., Global Rolled Products Division, a subsidiary of
Arconic, Inc., Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from 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 20th day of August 2019.
