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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 25, 2012 on behalf of workers of North Sails
Nevada, LLC, 2379 Heybourne Road and 2549 Business Parkway
Locations, Minden, Nevada (North Sails Nevada). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
sails. Specifically, the workers manufacture high end racing
sails. The workers are separately identifiable by product
line, but the individual product lines are directly
competitive. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Fisk Solutions, LLC, Natronastaff, and
Hire Dynamics.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at North Sails Nevada.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of North Sails Nevada,
LLC, 2379 Heybourne Road and 2549 Business Parkway Locations,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Fisk Solutions,
LLC, Natronastaff, and Hire Dynamics, Minden, Nevada, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of sails 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 North Sails Nevada, LLC, 2379 Heybourne
Road and 2549 Business Parkway Locations, including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek, Fisk Solutions, LLC,
Natronastaff, and Hire Dynamics, Minden, Nevada, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after June 22, 2011 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 12th day of July, 2012.
