Notice of Revised Determination
Of Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
On Reconsideration


The Department issued a Notice of Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for Reconsideration for workers and former
workers of the subject firm on March 1, 2005. The Notice will
soon be published in the Federal Register.
The petitioner asserts in the request for reconsideration
that the workers of the subject firm possess skills which are not
easily transferable to other jobs in the local commuting area.
New information provided by the company official indicates
that that the workers possess skills that are not easily
transferable to other jobs in the local commuting area and that
competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
The Department found during initial investigation that at
least five percent of the workforce at the subject from is at
least fifty years of age.



Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained on
reconsideration, I conclude that the requirements of Section 246
of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers
at the subject firm.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Honeywell International, Transportation
Systems/Friction Material Division, Cleveland, Tennessee,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after December 3, 2003 through December 20, 2006, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply
for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section
246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 9th day of March 2005.

Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC
2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements of
paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended, must be
met. It is determined in this case that the requirements of (b) of
Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on December 6, 2004 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
Honeywell International, Transportation Systems/Friction Materials
Division, Cleveland, Tennessee. The workers produce brake linings.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm produced
brake linings used in the production of drum brake shoes for heavy
vehicles, and at least 20 percent of its production or sales are
supplied to a manufacturer whose workers were certified eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for
older workers.
The group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program

that the Department must consider under Section 246 of the

Trade Act are:

1. Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older.
2. Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
3. The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry are
adverse).
The Department has determined that criterion 2 has not been
met. The investigation revealed that the workers at the subject
firm possess skills that are easily transferable.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell International,
Transportation Systems/Friction Materials Division, Cleveland,
Tennessee qualify as adversely affected secondary workers under
Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
“All workers of Honeywell International, Transportation
Systems/Friction Materials Division, Cleveland, Tennessee, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 3, 2003, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
I further determine that all workers of Honeywell
International, Transportation Systems/Friction Materials Division,
Cleveland, Tennessee, are denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

Signed at Washington, D.C., this 20th day of December, 2004.
