UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION
ECORSE, MICHIGAN

On January 29, 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor (Department) received an
application for reconsideration of the determination applicable to workers and former
workers of United States Steel Corporation, Ecorse, MI, pursuant to 20 C.F.R.
618.245(a). 20 C.F.R. 618.245(a) is applicable to a termination of an investigation
issued under 20 C.F.R. 618.210(e), a negative determination issued under 20 C.F.R.
618.235(b), and a termination or partial termination of certification issued under 20
C.F.R. 618.240(e).

The application for reconsideration alleged that workers leased from TMS International
were on-site at the Ecorse, Michigan location of United States Steel Corporation, Great
Lakes Works. On February 23, 2021, the Department amended certification 95201 to
include workers leased from TMS International working on-site at the Ecorse, Michigan
location of United States Steel Corporation, Great Lakes Works. As such, pursuant to
20 C.F.R. 618.245(g), the Department is issuing a modified termination of the initial
termination of investigation. Specifically, the group of workers on whose behalf the
petition (and subsequent reconsideration application) was filed is already covered by
certification TA-W-95201 (certification expired February 20, 2022). Consequently,
further investigation would serve no purpose and the investigation has been terminated.

Signed in Washington, D.C. this 9th day of March, 2022

UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION

ECORSE, MICHIGAN
Notice of Termination of Investigation for
Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, an investigation was initiated
in response to a Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers petition dated December 23, 2020 and
filed on December 28, 2020 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of workers and former workers
of United States Steel Corporation, Ecorse, Michigan.

20 C.F.R. 618.210(e)(1) states that the Department of Labor may terminate an investigation
if the investigation establishes one of the following: (i) The petition is invalid, which includes
petitions identifying a nonexistent group of workers, filed under false pretenses, or perpetuating
fraud; (ii) The petitioner has withdrawn the petition in writing; (iii) The group of workers identified
in the investigation is the same as a group of workers identified in another pending investigation;

(iv) The group of workers identified in the investigation already has been issued a denial, and the
period of investigation applicable to the current investigation and the previous denial is the same;
or (v) The group of workers identified in the investigation is already covered by a certification that
does not expire within 90 calendar days of the determination.
In this case, the petitioning group of workers is covered by an existing petition (TAW-
96,165) that is the subject of an ongoing investigation for which a determination has not
yet been issued. Further investigation in this case would duplicate efforts and serve no purpose.
Consequently, the investigation has been terminated.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 29th day of December, 2020
