HATTERAS AND CABO YACHTS
A DIVISION OF BRUNSWICK CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM AEROTEK
NEW BERN, NORTH CAROLINA

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 February 11, 2013 on behalf of workers of Hatteras and
CABO Yachts, a division of Brunswick Corporation, New Bern,
North Carolina (Hatteras and CABO Yachts). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of luxury yachts
and fishing boats. The worker group is inclusive of on-site
leased workers from Aerotek.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the firm's major declining
customers.
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 luxury yachts and fishing boats by Hatteras
and CABO Yachts have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Hatteras and CABO Yachts have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales and production declines at
Hatteras and CABO Yachts.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hatteras and CABO
Yachts, a division of Brunswick Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, New Bern, North Carolina, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of luxury yachts
and fishing boats 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 Hatteras and CABO Yachts, a division of
Brunswick Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, New Bern, North Carolina, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after February
6, 2012, 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 29th day of March, 2013.
