Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C.
§ 2273, the Department of Labor ("Department") herein presents the results of an investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance ("TAA") for workers.
The investigation was initiated in response to a TAA petition dated June 30, 2021 and filed
on July 1, 2021 by a State Workforce Office, on behalf of former workers of Sunset Moulding Co.,
Chico Division, Chico, California (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 worker group is engaged in activities related to the production of wood mouldings and
millwork products and are not separately identifiable by product.
The petition alleged that worker separations, or threats thereof, were due to ITC injury
based on ITC Investigation Number 701-TA-636 and 731-TA-1470 involving wood mouldings
and millwork products from China published in the Federal Register on February 17, 2021 (Vol.
86, No. 30).
The International Trade Commission (ITC) found that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports of wood mouldings and millwork products from China,
that have been found by the U.S. Department of Commerce to be sold in the United States at less
than fair value, and to be subsidized by the government of China. The ITC's determination(s) was
published in the Federal Register on February 17, 2021.
During the course of the investigation, the Department collected information from the
petitioner(s), the workers' firm, and other relevant sources.
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:
Member of Domestic Industry Criterion
(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));
The Department determines that the member of a domestic industry criterion has been met.
Timely Petition Filing Criterion
(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
The Department determines that the timely filing of a petition criterion has been met.
Employment Criterion
(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 Department determines that the employment criterion has been met.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I determine that workers
of Sunset Moulding Co., Chico Division, Chico, California, who are engaged in activities related
to the production of wood mouldings and millwork products meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e). In accordance with Section 223 of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Sunset Moulding Co., Chico Division, Chico, California, who became
totally or partially separated from that employment on or after February 17, 2020, through
February 17, 2022, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title
II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
