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 August 27, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of All American Sports Group Corporation, San Antonio,
Texas (All American Sports Group). The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Manpower Staffing Services and Kelly
Services. The workers supply refurbishing services (disassembly,
cleaning, refurbishing, and reassembly) for football helmets.
The investigation revealed that workers of All American
Sports Group, who supply refurbishing services for football
helmets, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers at All American Sports Group has been totally
or partially separated during the relevant period and further
separations are scheduled.
Criterion II has been met because All American Sports
Group has shifted the supply of like or directly competitive
services to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift to Mexico
contributed importantly to worker separations at All American
Sports Group, San Antonio, Texas.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of All American Sports
Group Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower Staffing Services and Kelly Services, San Antonio,
Texas, who supply refurbishing services, 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 All American Sports Group Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower Staffing
Services and Kelly Services, San Antonio, Texas, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 20, 2009, 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 9th day of September, 2010
