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 July 23, 2020, by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Cambria Company LLC, including workers whose wages
were reported under Cambria Fabshop - Minnesota LLC, Belle
Plaine, Minnesota (TA-W-96,079) and Cambria Company LLC, Le
Sueur, Minnesota (TA-W-96,079A) [Cambria].
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of quartz surface products.
The workers of Cambria Company LLC, Le Sueur, Minnesota (TA-
W-96,079A) were previously certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance under petition number TA-W-95,094, on
September 24, 2019. The certification expired on July 5, 2020.
The investigation revealed that the International Trade
Commission determined, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, that an
industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of
imports of quartz surface products from India and Turkey.
A petition has been filed on behalf of workers of Cambria.
That 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 June 19, 2020, which is within one year of the date of the
petition filed requesting Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
Certification.
Furthermore, the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within the 1-year period prior
to the date in which the publication was published within the
Federal Register.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cambria Company LLC,
including workers whose wages were reported under Cambria
Fabshop - Minnesota LLC, Belle Plaine, Minnesota (TA-W-96,079)
and Cambria Company LLC, Le Sueur, Minnesota (TA-W-96,079A), who
are engaged in activities related to the production of quartz
surface products, 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 Cambria Company LLC, including workers whose
wages were reported under Cambria Fabshop - Minnesota LLC,
Belle Plaine, Minnesota (TA-W-96,079), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 19,
2019, through June 19, 2021, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended; AND,
All workers of Cambria Company LLC, Le Sueur, Minnesota (TA-
W-96,079A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 6, 2020, through June 19, 2021,
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 25th day of September 2020.
