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 December 9, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Honeywell International, Automation & Control
Solutions, Sensing & Control Division, Pawtucket, Rhode Island
(Honeywell International). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of glass encapsulated chip thermistors
(GEC). The workers are separately identifiable by product. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Manpower.
The investigation revealed that workers of Honeywell
International who are engaged in activities related to the
production of glass encapsulated chip thermistors (GEC) meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have become separated, or are threatened with
separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of glass encapsulated chip thermistors (GEC)
by Honeywell International to Korea.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of glass
encapsulated chip thermistors (GEC) to Korea by Honeywell
International contributed importantly to worker separations at
Honeywell International.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell
International, Automation & Control Solutions, Sensing & Control
Division, including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Pawtucket, Rhode Island who are engaged in activities related to
the production of glass encapsulated chip thermistors (GEC) 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 International, Automation and
Control Solutions, Sensing and Control Division, including
on-site leased workers from Manpower, Pawtucket, Rhode
Island, engaged in activities related to the production of
glass encapsulated chip thermistors (GEC) who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 12, 2008, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on 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 26th day of March, 2010
