Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 28, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Horizon Hobby, Inc., Losi Division, Ontario,
California. The workers produce parts and accessories for radio
control model cars. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers of Unitech, T & M Production, and FasTemps Staffing
Agency.
The investigation revealed that workers of Horizon Hobby,
Inc., Losi Division, Ontario, California, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of parts and accessories
for radio control model cars, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have been separated in the last year.
Criterion II has been met because the firm has acquired
abroad articles that are like or directly competitive with
those produced by the workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition abroad
of articles that are like or directly competitive with those
produced by the workers' firm contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the subject firm.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Horizon Hobby, Inc.,
Losi Division, Ontario, California, including on-site leased
workers of Unitech, T & M Production and FasTemps Staffing
Agency, 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 Horizon Hobby, Inc., Losi Division,
Ontario, California, including on-site leased workers of
Unitech, T & M Production and FasTemps Staffing Agency,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 18, 2008, through two years from the date
of 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, D.C., this 7th day of October, 2009
