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 January 12, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Callaway Golf Company, Operations Division,
Carlsbad, California. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Volt Services Group. The workers are engaged in
activities related to production of golf clubs.
The investigation revealed that workers of Callaway Golf
Company, Operations Division, Carlsbad, California, who are
engaged in activities related to production of golf clubs,
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
the workers at the workers' firm are threatened with total
separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has commited to shift to a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive to the golf clubs
produced by the firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production by Callaway Golf Company contributed importantly to
the threatened worker group separations at the Carlsbad,
California facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Callaway Golf
Company, Operations Division, Carlsbad, California, who are
engaged in activities related to production of golf clubs,
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 Callaway Golf Company, Operations
Division, including on-site leased workers from Volt
Services Group, Carlsbad, California, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after January
10, 2010, 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 15th day of February, 2011
