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 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of its 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)(A) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on September 16, 2005 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Honeywell International Inc., Consumer Products
Group, Lynn Haven, Florida. The workers produce automotive disc
brake pads.
The subject firm leased some on-site production workers
from Manpower, Adecco, Kelly Services, Labor Solutions, and
Aerotek.
The investigation revealed that employment, sales, and
production at the subject firm declined in January through
August 2005 compared with the same period in 2004.
The investigation also revealed that imports of automotive
disc brake pads by the subject firm increased during the
relevant time period.
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 conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with automotive disc brake pads
produced at Honeywell International Inc., Consumer Products
Group, including leased on site production workers from
Manpower, Adecco, Kelly Services, Labor Solutions, and Aerotek,
Lynn Haven, Florida contributed importantly to the total or
partial separation of workers and to the decline in sales or
production at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Honeywell International Inc., Consumer
Products Group, including leased on site production workers
from Manpower, Adecco, Kelly Services, Labor Solutions, and
Aerotek, Lynn Haven, Florida who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
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."
Signed in Washington, D. C., this 21st day of September, 2005
