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 July 7, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of ArcelorMittal USA Indiana Harbor, a subsidiary of
ArcelorMittal USA, East Chicago, Indiana (ArcelorMittal USA
Indiana Harbor). The workers include on-site leased workers
from Superior Engineering, ABM Industry Groups, Allied Universal
Security, and ACMS Group. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of flat rolled carbon steel
products, including hot-rolled, cold-rolled, hot dipped
galvanized and semi-finished products.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the petitioner, and the major
declining customer(s) of the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of flat rolled carbon steel products,
including hot-rolled, cold-rolled, hot dipped galvanized and
semi-finished products by ArcelorMittal USA Indiana Harbor
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by ArcelorMittal USA Indiana Harbor have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
ArcelorMittal USA Indiana Harbor.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ArcelorMittal USA
Indiana Harbor, a subsidiary of ArcelorMittal USA, including
on-site leased workers from Superior Engineering, ABM Industry
Groups, Allied Universal Security, and ACMS Group, East
Chicago, Indiana, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of flat rolled carbon steel products, including hot-
rolled, cold-rolled, hot dipped galvanized and semi-finished
products 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 ArcelorMittal USA Indiana Harbor, a
subsidiary of ArcelorMittal USA, including on-site leased
workers from Superior Engineering, ABM Industry Groups,
Allied Universal Security, and ACMS Group, East Chicago,
Indiana, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 7, 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 15th day of December 2020.
