Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a subsidiary of
Severstal North America, Inc.,
Steubenville, Ohio (TA–W–71,572C) to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA). The workers produce a variety of
steel coils.
The subject worker groups do not
include any on-site leased or temporary
workers and exclude workers of
Severstal International, Sparrows Point,
Maryland (TA–W–74,919; certification
issued on February 9, 2011).
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department received
additional and new information from
the subject firm, conducted an
expanded customer survey, reviewed
relevant information obtained from
affiliated facilities, and analyzed import
data of articles like or directly
competitive with the coils produced at
the subject facilities.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met
because a significant number or
proportion of workers at each of the
subject facilities became totally or
partially separated, or threatened with
such separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met
because sales or production of steel
coils at each of the subject facilities
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met
because there were increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
the steel coils produced at the
respective facilities, during the relevant
periods.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has
been met because the increased imports
contributed importantly to worker group
separations and sales/production
declines at each of the subject facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
determine that workers of the subject
facilities meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a). In
