[TA-W-72,041]


Aleris Blanking and Rim Products, Inc., a Division of Aleris 
International, Inc., Terre Haute, IN; Notice of Revised Determination 
on Reconsideration

    On February 18, 2010, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The Department's Notice of 
determination was published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2010 
(75 FR 9436-9437). The workers produce aluminum blanks and hoops.
    New information revealed that, during the period of investigation, 
imports of articles like or directly competitive with aluminum blanks 
and hoops produced by the subject firm have increased. Specifically, 
the Department of Labor conducted a second tier survey of the subject 
firm's major declining customer regarding their purchases of aluminum 
blanks and hoops during the relevant period. The survey revealed 
increased customer reliance on imported aluminum blanks and hoops.
    Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the 
increased imports of aluminum blanks and hoops by a second tier 
customer of the subject firm's major declining customer contributed 
importantly to the worker group separations and sales/production 
declines at the subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained during the 
reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of Aleris 
Blanking and Rim Products, Inc., a division of Aleris International, 
Inc., Terre Haute, Indiana, who are engaged in employment related to 
the production of aluminum blanks and hoops, 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 Aleris Blanking and Rim Products, Inc., a 
division of Aleris International, Inc., Terre Haute, Indiana, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
August 14, 2008, through two years from the date of this revised 
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with total or 
partial separation from employment on date of certification through 
two years from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act 
of 1974, as amended.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 4th day of March 2011.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
