Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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 February 4, 2005 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of FutureSmart
(Honeywell Security & Custom Electronics), division of Honeywell
International, Draper, Utah. Workers at the subject facility
manufactured articles referred to as "CANS", which are
distribution modules and receptacles used to route household
services in new home construction; workers are not separately
identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
firm declined absolutely in 2004.
The decline in employment at the subject facility is
attributed to a shift in production of "CANS" to a country
(Mexico) that is a party to a free trade agreement with the United
States.
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.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or
over and possess skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there has been 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 FutureSmart (Honeywell Security & Custom
Electronics), division of Honeywell International, Draper,
Utah, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 13, 2004, through two years
from the date of certification 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."
