Weirton Steel Corporation, Weirton,
WV; Negative Determination on
Remand
On April 30, 2008, the U.S. Court of
International Trade (USCIT) remanded
United Steel, Paper and Forestry,
Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied
Industrial and Service Workers
International Union, Local 2911 v.
United States Secretary of Labor, Court
No. 04–00492, to the U.S. Department of
Labor (Department) for further
investigation.
On March 9, 2004, an official of
Weirton Steel Corporation (subject firm)
filed a petition for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) on
behalf of workers of Weirton Steel
Corporation, Weirton, West Virginia
(subject facility). AR 2. Workers at the
subject facility produce hot-rolled, coldrolled, tin-plate and hot-dipped, and
electrolytic galvanized steel. AR 2, 48.
The workers are not separately
identifiable by specific product. AR 48.
On April 23, 2002, workers at Weirton
Steel Corporation, Weirton, West
Virginia were certified eligible to apply
for TAA (TA–W–39,657; certification
was issued on April 23, 2002 and
expired on April 23, 2004). SAR 18.
The initial investigation revealed that
the subject firm neither imported steel
products nor shifted steel production to
a foreign country in the one year prior
to the petition date (March 9, 2003
through March 9, 2004). AR 102. The
PO 00000
Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
initial investigation also revealed that
although subject firm production
declined in 2003 from 2002 levels and
declined during January through
February 2004 compared with the
corresponding period in 2003, subject
firm sales increased in 2003 compared
with 2002, and increased in January
through February 2004 compared with
the corresponding period in 2003. AR
102.
The Department surveyed fifteen of
the subject firm’s major declining
customers regarding their purchases of
the principal product types of steel sold
by the subject firm in 2002, 2003,
January through March 2003, and
January through March 2004. The
majority of respondents reported either
no imports or declining imports. The
survey also revealed that for those
customers that did increase import
purchases, the imports were
substantially less than one percent of
the subject firm’s sales or production.
AR 102.
Aggregate data of the major steel
products manufactured by the subject
facility during the relevant period (hotrolled carbon sheet, cold-rolled carbon
sheet, hot-dipped galvanized sheet and
strip, galvanized electrolytic carbon
sheet and strip, and tin mill products)
indicated that imports of these products
declined, both absolutely and relative to
shipments, in 2003 compared with
2002, and continued to decline in the
first quarter of 2004 compared with the
corresponding period of 2003. AR 102.
The Department’s negative
determination regarding the subject
workers’ eligibility to apply for worker
adjustment assistance was issued on
May 14, 2004. AR 103. The
Department’s Notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register
on June 2, 2004 (69 FR 31135). AR 104.
By letter dated June 18, 2004, the
Independent Steelworkers Union (ISU),
via their counsel, requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department’s negative determination
applicable to the subject workers. AR
119. The ISU requested that the
investigation period be extended in
order to include information regarding
subject firm sales declines and import
impact that were the basis for an
expired TAA certification (TA–W–
39,657; certified on April 23, 2002). AR
119–194.
The Notice of Negative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration (issued on July 23,
2004) stated that information on events
that occurred before the relevant period
cannot be the basis for TAA certification
in the immediate case. AR 195. The
