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 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 May 22, 2007 in response to a petition filed by a company
official on behalf of workers at Honeywell Resins & Chemicals, Resin and Chemicals Division,
Anderson, South Carolina. Workers manufacture nylon fibers for textile applications.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm declined during the period of
January through May 2007, when compared to the same time period in 2006.
The investigation revealed that Honeywell Resins & Chemicals, Resin and Chemicals Division,
Anderson, South Carolina supplied components to a manufacturer of dyed and finished fabric 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.
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 workers of
Honeywell Resins & Chemicals, Resin and Chemicals Division, Anderson, South Carolina 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 Resins & Chemicals, Resin and Chemicals Division, Anderson,
South Carolina, including on-site leased workers of Defender Services, Inc., and ManPower,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after May 21, 2006,
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.”
