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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied 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.


The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 16, 2010 on behalf of workers of Fantasy
Activewear, Inc., Vernon, California (subject firm). The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
fabric and are not separately identifiable by product line.
The worker group does not include any on-site leased workers.
The investigation revealed that workers of Fantasy
Activewear, Inc., Vernon, California, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of fabric, meet the
criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at the subject firm has
become totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separation, during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because subject firm
sales and/or production have decreased absolutely during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because U.S.
aggregate imports of articles directly incorporating fabric
produced outside the United States that are like or directly
competitive with imports of articles incorporating fabric
produced by the subject firm has increased, and the increase in
imports contributed importantly to worker separations and
declines in sales and production at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Fantasy Activewear,
Inc., Vernon, California, who are engaged in employment related
to the production of fabric, 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 Fantasy Activewear, Inc., Vernon,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 4, 2009, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on the 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."
