Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC
2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on September 14, 2005, in
response to a petition filed by the State Trade Coordinator on
behalf of workers at Ocean Breeze Manufacturing, Vernon,
California. The workers at the subject firm produce swimwear
material.
The investigation revealed that Ocean Breeze Manufacturing,
Vernon, California, supplies component parts for ladies' swimwear,
and at least 20 percent of its production or sales is supplied to a
manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ocean Breeze
Manufacturing, Vernon, California qualify as adversely affected
secondary workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Ocean Breeze Manufacturing, Vernon, California
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after September 13, 2004, through two years from the date
of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 19th day of October, 2005.
