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 November 23, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Honeywell Security and Communications, Honeywell
Security Division, subsidiary of Honeywell International,
Inc., Folsom, California. The workers are engaged in
activities related to research and development for sensors.
The investigation revealed that workers of Honeywell
Security and Communications, Honeywell Security Division,
subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc., Folsom,
California, who are engaged in activities related to research
and development for sensors, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers are threatened with separation during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted research and development services for sensors to
China.
Criterion III has been met because the shift to China by
Honeywell Security and Communications contributed importantly
to worker group separations at the Folsom, California
facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell Security
and Communications, Honeywell Security Division, Folsom,
California, who are engaged in activities related to research
and development for sensors, 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 of Honeywell Security and Communications,
Honeywell Security Division, a subsidiary of Honeywell
International, Inc., Folsom, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 20, 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 15th day of December, 2009
