Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either
paragraph (a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated February 24, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by workers on behalf of workers at
Honeywell International, Aerospace-West Coast Support
Operations, Burkbank, California. The workers at the subject
firm produced hydromechanical fuel control valves.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment at the subject firm declined from 2000 to 2001 and
also declined from 2001 to 2002.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the
subject plant is related to a shift in plant production of
hydromechanical fuel control valves to a country (Canada) that
is a party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there were layoffs and a shift in
production from the subject firm to Cananda of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Honeywell International, Aerospace-West
Coast Support Operations, Burkbank, California who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 7, 2002 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 19th day of March 2003.
