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 November 1, 2010 by a One-Stop Operator/Partner on
behalf of workers of Eagle Cap Campers, Inc., La Grande, Oregon
(Eagle Cap Campers). The workers were engaged in employment
related to the production of campers.
The worker group does not include leased workers and
excludes workers of Adventure Manufacturing Ltd., Yakima,
Washington.
The investigation revealed that workers of Eagle Cap
Campers, who were engaged in employment related to the
production of campers, meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of workers at Eagle Cap Campers has been
totally separated during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because sales and
production at the La Grande, Oregon facility ceased in 2010.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with campers produced by
Eagle Cap Campers have increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased U.S. aggregate imports of campers (or like or
directly competitive articles) contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Eagle Cap Campers, Inc., La Grande, Oregon.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Eagle Cap Campers,
Inc., La Grande, Oregon, 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 Eagle Cap Campers, Inc., La Grande,
Oregon, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 29, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of March, 2011
