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 January 9, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America (UAW), Local 2413 on behalf of workers of Honeywell,
Inc., CPG Division, Greenville, Ohio. The workers produce oil
filters.
The decline in employment at the subject firm is related to
a shift in a portion of the production of oil filters to China.
The imports of these articles increased from 2006 to 2007.
Honeywell, Inc., CPG Division, Greenville, Ohio also leased
on-site workers from Manpower, K-Force, and PDSI.
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 a shift in production from the
workers' firm or subdivision to China of articles that are like
or directly competitive with the oil filters produced by the
subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Honeywell, Inc., CPG Division, Greenville,
Ohio, including on-site leased workers of Manpower, K-
Force, and PDSI, who become totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 8, 2007 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 11th day of February, 2008
