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 March 13, 2017 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Burleigh Point LTD, a subsidiary of Billabong
International LTD, RVCA Division, Quality Control Department,
Irvine, California (Burleigh-RVCA-QC). Burleigh Point LTD is
engaged in activities related to the supply of retail and
wholesale clothing apparel. The subject worker group (Burleigh-
RVCA-QC) includes on-site leased workers from 24/7 Talent.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Burleigh-RVCA-QC 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 supply of a(n) service
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Burleigh-RVCA-QC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Burleigh-RVCA-QC, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of retail and
wholesale of clothing apparel, 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 Burleigh Point LTD, a subsidiary of
Billabong International LTD, RVCA Division, Quality
Control Department, including on-site leased workers from
24/7 Talent, Irvine, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 10,
2016 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 7th day of June 2017.
