Aleris Recycling Bens Run, LLC, Including On-Site Leased Workers 
From Winans Extras Support Staffing and CDI Corporation, Friendly, West 
Virginia; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration

    By application dated April 24, 2013, United Steelworkers, Local 
5724-2, requested administrative reconsideration of the negative 
determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former workers of 
Aleris Recycling Bens Run, LLC, Friendly, West Virginia. The 
determination was issued on March 13, 2013. The workers' firm is 
engaged in activities related to the production of aluminum ingots, 
sows, cones, and salt cakes.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with the articles produced by the workers did not increase 
during the relevant period; the subject firm or its major customers did 
not import articles like or directly competitive with the articles 
produced by the workers; the subject firm did not shift production of 
the articles produced by the workers to a foreign country, and did not 
acquire production of like or directly competitive articles from a 
foreign country; the subject firm is neither a Supplier nor Downstream 
Producer to a firm (or subdivision, whichever is applicable) that 
employed a group of workers who received a certification of eligibility 
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a); and the subject 
firm has not been publically identified by name by the International 
Trade Commission as a member of a domestic industry in an investigation 
resulting in an affirmative finding of serious injury, market 
disruption, or material injury, or threat thereof.
    The request for reconsideration included new information regarding 
the articles produced at the subject firm and possible certification as 
secondarily-affected workers.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record, and will conduct further 
investigation to determine if workers have met the eligibility 
requirements of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 8th day of May, 2013.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
