HONEYWELL SENSING AND CONTROL
ACS DIVISION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM

SARASOTA, FLORIDA
Amended 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on October 26, 2007,
applicable to workers of Honeywell Sensing and Control, ACS
Division, including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Sarasota, Florida. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on November 6, 2007 (72 FR 62682).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of speed, direction, and position
sensors for the aerospace, industrial and transportation
industries.
New information shows that leased workers of Westaff and Ad-
Vance Personnel were employed on-site at the Sarasota, Florida
location of Honeywell Sensing and Control, ACS Division. The
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of Honeywell Sensing and Control, ACS Division
to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers of Westaff and Ad-Vance
Personnel working on-site at the Sarasota, Florida location of
the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Honeywell Sensing and Control, ACS
Division, Sarasota, Florida who were adversely-impacted by a
shift in production of speed, direction, and position sensors to
Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,329 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Honeywell Sensing and Control, ACS
Division, including on-site leased workers of Manpower,
Westaff and Ad-Vance Personnel, Sarasota, Florida, who
became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after October 17, 2006, through October 26, 2009,
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.”

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 October 19, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Honeywell Sensing and Control, ACS Division, Sarasota,
Florida. The workers produce speed, direction, and position
sensors for the aerospace, industrial, and transportation
industries. The workers are not separately identifiable by
product.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Manpower.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject firm
declined between 2005 and 2006 and in January through September
2007 when compared with the same period in 2006.
The subject firm has shifted a portion of production of speed,
direction, and position sensors to a country (Mexico) which is
party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
In accordance with Section 246 of 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 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, ACS Division,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Sarasota,
Florida, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 17, 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.”
