In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as

("Department") herein presents the results of an investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to apply for Trade

The investigation was initiated in response to a TAA

Inc., Clinton, Illinois (hereafter referred to as the "worker
group"). In accordance with 20 C.F.R. 618.110 a worker group is
defined as, "...inclusive of teleworkers and staffed workers."
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of utility wind scale towers.
The petition alleged that worker separations were due to
foreign trade because, "the worker group is subject to injury
based on notification from USDOL/ITC Investigation 701 TA 627
629 and 731 TA 1458 1461 involving Utility Scale Wind Towers
from Canada, Indonesia, Korea, and Vietnam. The determination
was published in the Federal Register Vol. 85 No. 165 on August
25, 2020."

The Department determines that the member of a domestic

investigation, I determine that workers of Arcosa Wind Towers,
Inc., a subsidiary of Arcosa Inc., Clinton, Illinois, who were
engaged in activities related to the production of utility wind
towers, meet the requirements of Section 222(e) of the Act. In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, I make the following

Arcosa Inc., Clinton, Illinois who became totally or
partially separated from that employment on or after August
25, 2019, through August 25, 2021, are eligible to apply
