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(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and
(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and
(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and
(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 16, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Omnimax International, Inc., Specialty Division,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omnimax Holdings, Inc., Helena,
Arkansas ("Omnimax International, Inc., Specialty Division").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of painted coils of aluminum.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at Omnimax International,
Inc., Specialty Division have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or partially
separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of painted coils of aluminum at Omnimax
International, Inc., Specialty Division have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the painted coils of
aluminum produced by Omnimax International, Inc., Specialty
Division have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Omnimax
International, Inc., Specialty Division.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Omnimax
International, Inc., Specialty Division, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Omnimax Holdings, Inc., Helena, Arkansas, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of painted coils
of aluminum, meet the group eligibility certification criteria
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Omnimax International, Inc., Specialty
Division, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omnimax Holdings,
Inc., Helena, Arkansas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 15, 2018,
through two years from the date of certification, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, 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 October 2019.
