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 June 9, 2010 by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Honeywell International, Inc., Aerospace
Division, Inbound Logistics Division, Phoenix, Arizona
(Inbound Logistics Division). The workers are engaged in
activities related to the provision of inbound logistics
services for the production of aircraft engines, specifically
to Honeywell International, ISC Engines, Phoenix, Arizona.
Honeywell International, ISC Engines, is currently covered by
a TAA-certification (TA-W-70,806) set to expire on August 20,
2011.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Inbound
Logistics Division, who were engaged in activities related to
the provision of inbound logistics services for the production
of aircraft engines, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers has been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Honeywell
International, ISC Engines, is shifting assembly of aircraft
engines to the Czech Republic and Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production contributed importantly to the Inbound Logistics
Division separations at the Phoenix, Arizona facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell
International, Inc., Aerospace Division, Inbound Logistics
Division, Phoenix, Arizona, who are engaged in activities
related to the provision of inbound logistics services for the
production of aircraft engines to employees of Honeywell
International, ISC Engines, Phoenix, Arizona, 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, Inc., Aerospace
Division, Inbound Logistics Division, Phoenix, Arizona,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 7, 2009, 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 29th day of June, 2010
