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 on April 19, 2010 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Honeywell Process Solutions, Honeywell Automation
and Controls Solution, a subsidiary of Honeywell
International, Phoenix, Arizona (Honeywell Process Solutions).
The workers are engaged in employment related to the production
of distributed control systems and field devices. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Manpower.
The investigation revealed that workers of Honeywell
Process Solutions meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Honeywell Process Solutions was
totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separations, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Honeywell Process
Solutions has shifted to foreign countries the production of
distributed control systems and field devices (or like or
directly competitive articles).
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to China and India has contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Honeywell Process Solutions,
Phoenix, Arizona.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell Process
Solutions, Honeywell Automation and Controls Solution, a
subsidiary of Honeywell International, Phoenix, Arizona, who
are engaged in employment related to the production of
distributed control systems and field 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 of Honeywell Process Solutions, Honeywell
Automation and Controls Solution, a subsidiary of
Honeywell International, including on-site leased workers
from Manpower, Phoenix, Arizona, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 15,
2009, 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 25th day of June, 2010
