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 in response to a petition
received on May 2, 2003, and filed by a company official on behalf
of workers at Honeywell Sensing and Control, Clarostat Division, El
Paso, Texas. The workers produce resistive elements for
potentiometers.
The decline in employment at the subject plant is related to a
shift in plant production of resistive elements for potentiometers
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
from the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"All workers of Honeywell Sensing and Control, Clarostat
Division, El Paso, Texas, involved in the production of
resistive elements for potentiometers who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 30,
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 30th day of May 2003.
