Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration; Severstal

    Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a Subsidiary of Severstal North 
America, Inc. Martins Ferry, Ohio

America, Inc., Yorkville, Ohio

    On October 15, 2010, the Department issued a Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for workers and 
former workers of Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a subsidiary of Severstal 
North America, Inc., Martins Ferry, Ohio (TA-W-71,572); Severstal 
Wheeling, Inc., a subsidiary of Severstal North America, Inc., 
Yorkville, Ohio (TA-W-71,572A); Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a subsidiary 
of Severstal North America, Inc., Mingo Junction, Ohio (TA-W-71,572B); 
and 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 accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 
19 U.S.C. 2273, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a subsidiary of 
Severstal North America, Inc., Martins Ferry, Ohio (TA-W-71,572); 
Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a subsidiary of

threatened with total or partial separation from employment on date 
of certification through two years from the date of certification,

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 6th day of May, 2011.
