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 February 11, 2011 on behalf of workers of
Carrier Air Conditioning, a subsidiary of United Technologies
Corporation, Commercial Division, Tyler, Texas. The workers
produce commercial air conditioners.
Workers of Carrier Air Conditioning, a subsidiary of United
Technologies Corporation, Commercial Division, Tyler, Texas were
previously covered by certification number TA-W-64,833 that
expired on January 26, 2011.
The investigation revealed that workers of Carrier Air
Conditioning, who are engaged in production of commercial air
conditioners, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or are threatened with separation
during the period under investigation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Carrier Air Conditioning, a subsidiary of United Technologies
Corporation, Commercial Division, Tyler, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Carrier Air
Conditioning, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation,
Commercial Division, Tyler, Texas, who are engaged in employment
related to production of commercial air conditioners, 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 Carrier Air Conditioning, a subsidiary of
United Technologies Corporation, Commercial Division,
Tyler, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 27, 2011, 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 18th day of February, 2011
