workers by (TA–W) number issued 

during the period of August 19, 2017 

through September 22, 2017. (This 

Notice primarily follows the language of 

the Trade Act. In some places however, 

changes such as the inclusion of 

subheadings, a reorganization of 

language, or ‘‘and,’’ ‘‘or,’’ or other words 

are added for clarification.) 

Section 222(a)—Workers of a Primary 

Firm 

In order for an affirmative 

determination to be made for workers of 

a primary firm and a certification issued 

regarding eligibility to apply for TAA, 

the group eligibility requirements under 

Section 222(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C.

(1) The first criterion (set forth in 

Section 222(a)(1) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 

2272(a)(1)) is that a significant number 

or proportion of the workers in such 

workers’ firm (or ‘‘such firm’’) have 

become totally or partially separated, or 

are threatened to become totally or 

partially separated; 

AND (2(A) or 2(B) below) 

(2) The second criterion (set forth in 

Section 222(a)(2) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 

2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied by either (A) 

the Increased Imports Path, or (B) the 

Shift in Production or Services to a 

Foreign Country Path/Acquisition of 

Articles or Services from a Foreign 

Country Path, as follows: 

(A) Increased Imports Path: 

(i) The sales or production, or both, of

(ii) (I) imports of articles or services 

like or directly competitive with articles

which one or more component parts 

produced by such firm are directly 

incorporated, have increased; OR

are produced directly using the services 

supplied by such firm, have increased; 

OR 

(III) imports of articles directly 

incorporating one or more component 

parts produced outside the United 

States that are like or directly 

competitive with imports of articles 

incorporating one or more component 

parts produced by such firm have 

increased; 

AND 

(iii) the increase in imports described 

in clause (ii) contributed importantly to 

such workers’ separation or threat of 

separation and to the decline in the 

sales or production of such firm; OR 

(B) Shift in Production or Services to 

a Foreign Country Path OR Acquisition 

of Articles or Services from a Foreign 

Country Path: 

(i)(I) There has been a shift by such 

workers’ firm to a foreign country in the 

production of articles or the supply of 

services like or directly competitive 

with articles which are produced or 

services which are supplied by such 

firm; OR 

(II) such workers’ firm has acquired 

from a foreign country articles or 

services that are like or directly 

competitive with articles which are 

produced or services which are 

supplied by such firm; 

AND 

(ii) the shift described in clause (i)(I) 

or the acquisition of articles or services 

described in clause (i)(II) contributed 

importantly to such workers’ separation 

or threat of separation.

downstream producer to a firm 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 such supply or 

production is related to the article or 

service that was the basis for such 

certification (as defined in subsection 

222(c)(3) and (4) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

2272(c)(3) and (4)); 

AND 

(3) either—

the component parts it supplied to the 

firm described in paragraph (2) 

accounted for at least 20 percent of the
