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 June 15, 2009 on behalf of workers of Heli-One USA,
Inc., a division of CHC Helicopter Corporation, Hurst, Texas
(Heli-One USA). The workers produced (modified) helicopters.
The worker group also consisted of on-site leased workers
from Accountemps and Agente Technical.
The investigation revealed that workers of Heli-One USA in
Hurst, who are engaged in employment related to the production
of modified helicopters, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because the helicopter
modification work at the Hurst location has ceased.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to a foreign country the production of an article like
or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
helicopter modification work to Norway and Canada by Heli-One
USA contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
company location in Hurst, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Heli-One USA, Inc.,
Hurst, Texas, who are engaged in employment related to modified
helicopters 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 Heli-One USA, Inc., a division of CHC
Helicopter Corporation, Hurst, Texas, including on-site
leased workers from Accountemps and Agente Technical, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 12, 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."
