Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.



III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 29, 2009 on behalf of workers of Honeywell
International, Electronic Materials Division, Sunnyvale,
California. The workers produce high precision temperature-
sensing devices used in automatic environmental controls for
monitoring residential and commercial appliances.
The investigation revealed that workers of Honeywell
International, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of high precision temperature-sensing devices, meet
the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at substantial
proportion of the workers were separated during the relevant
time period and further separations are expected.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
shifted to a foreign country production of an article like or
directly competitive with the article produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of high precision temperature-sensing devices to
Japan by Honeywell International contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the Sunnyvale, California
facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell
International, Electronic Materials Division, Sunnyvale,
California, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of high precision temperature-sensing devices meet
the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers Honeywell International, Electronic Materials
Division, Sunnyvale, California, who are engaged in
employment related to production of high precision
temperature-sensing devices, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 21,
2008, through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 1st day of December, 2009
