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.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term "contributed importantly" to mean, "a cause that is
important but not necessarily more important than any other
cause."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 2, 2011 by a One Stop Office/Partner on
behalf of workers of Solyndra LLC, a subsidiary of 360 Degree
Solar Holdings, Inc., Fremont, California. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from West Alley, Aerotek,
Oxford Global, GES and Lighthouse Management. The workers'
firm was engaged in activities related to production of
cylindrical solar panel systems for commercial rooftops.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, customers of the workers'
firm, the U.S. International Trade Commission, and other
publicly available sources.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of cylindrical solar panel systems by Solyndra
LLC have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
and aggregate United States imports of articles like or
directly competitive with the cylindrical solar panel systems
by Solyndra LLC have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer and aggregate imports contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Solyndra LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Solyndra LLC, a
subsidiary of 360 Degree Solar Holdings, Inc., including on-
site leased workers West Alley, Aerotek, Oxford Global, GES
and Lighthouse Management, Fremont, California, who are engaged
in activities related to production of cylindrical solar panel
systems, 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 Solyndra LLC, a subsidiary of 360 Degree
Solar Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from West Alley, Aerotek, Oxford Global, GES and
Lighthouse Management, Fremont, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
September 1, 2010, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on December 20,
2011 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 18th day of November, 2011
