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;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 13, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of Alcoa, Inc., Global Primary
Products Division, including on-site leased workers from CCC
Group Inc., Gardenland Nursery, Inc., G&W Engineers, Inc.,
GeoMetric Results, Inc., Health & Safety Training, HESCO
Engineering, Inc., Honeywell, Intl., Inc., REXCO INC., REXCO
Scaffolding & Insulation, Simplex Grinnell, LP, Testengeer,
Inc., and US Security Associates, Inc., Point Comfort, Texas
(Alcoa-Point Comfort). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of aluminum.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Alcoa-Point Comfort have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of
aluminum, or like or directly competitive articles, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Alcoa-
Point Comfort.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Alcoa-Point Comfort,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
aluminum, meet the worker group 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 Alcoa, Inc., Global Primary Products
Division, including on-site leased workers from CCC Group
Inc., Gardenland Nursery, Inc., G&W Engineers, Inc.,
GeoMetric Results, Inc., Health & Safety Training, HESCO
Engineering, Inc., Honeywell, Intl., Inc., REXCO INC.,
REXCO Scaffolding & Insulation, Simplex Grinnell, LP,
Testengeer, Inc., and US Security Associates, Inc., Point
Comfort, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 10, 2019 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 3rd day of March 2020.
