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.

Contributed importantly means a cause which is important
but not necessarily more important than any other cause. 29 CFR
90.16(b)(3)
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 24, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of Hybrid Promotions, LLC,
Cypress, California (Hybrid Promotions). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of licensed
apparel.
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 at Hybrid Promotions 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 sales and/or
production at Hybrid Promotions have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the licensed apparel
produced by Hybrid Promotions have increased during the
relevant period when compared to the representative base period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Hybrid
Promotions.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hybrid Promotions,
LLC, who are engaged in activities related to the production of
licensed apparel, meet the group eligibility 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 Hybrid Promotions, LLC, Cypress,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 21, 2019, 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 10th day of April 2020.
