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 on April 1, 2003 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
Honeywell Sensor Systems, Thermal Business Division, a subsidiary
of Honeywell, Inc., Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The workers at the
subject facility produce flexible heaters, bi-metal thermostats,
thermal cut-offs (TCO), precision thermostats and discrete
thermistors; they are not separately identifiable by product line.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
facility is related to a shift in facility production of flexible
heaters to a country (Mexico) 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 determine that there was a shift in production of
flexible heaters from Honeywell Sensor Systems, Thermal Business
Division, a subsidiary of Honeywell, Inc., Pawtucket, Rhode Island
to Mexico 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 Sensor Systems, Thermal Business
Division, a subsidiary of Honeywell, Inc., Pawtucket, Rhode
Island who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 31, 2002, through two years from
the date of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 16th day of May, 2003.
