In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as

a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on May 25, 2011, applicable to workers of Honeywell

At the request of the state workforce office, the Department

The review shows that on May 25, 2011, a certification of

workers of Honeywell International, Scanning and Mobility
Division, formerly known as Hand Held Products, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Manpower, Skaneateles Falls, New

Register on June 17, 2011 (Vol. 76 FR 117).
In order to ensure that the worker group is properly
identified, the certification is being amendmed to include the
former name of the legal entity under which the workers’ wages
were also being reported.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-80,122 is hereby
issued as follows:













“All workers of Honeywell International, Scanning and
Mobility Division, formerly known as Hand Held Products,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Skaneateles Falls, New York, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 23, 2010,
through May 25, 2013, 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.”

INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM MANPOWER
SKANEATELES FALLS, NEW YORK

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers
in such workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision of
the firm, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i) there has been a shift in production by such
workers’ firm or subdivision to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with articles
which are produced by such firm or subdivision; and
(ii)(I) the country to which the workers’ firm has
shifted production of the articles is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States;
(II) the country to which the workers’ firm has
shifted production of the articles is a beneficiary
under the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or the
Caribbean Basin Economic Act; or
(III) there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of articles that are like or
directly competitive with articles which are or were
produced by such firm or subdivision.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on April 20, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Honeywell International, Scanning and Mobility
Division, including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Skaneateles Falls, New York. The workers’ firm is engaged
activities related to the production of barcode scanners.
Workers of Honeywell International, Scanning and Mobility
Division, including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Skaneateles Falls, New York were covered under a previous Trade
Adjustment Assistance certification, TA-W-64,022, that expired on
September 22, 2010.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in such workers’ firm have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the employment
decline is related to a shift in production of barcode scanners
to a foreign country and there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of articles that are like or directly
competitive with barcode scanners.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assis-
tance (ATAA) for older workers.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry are
adverse).

Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a
significant number of workers in the workers’ firm are 50 years
of age or older.
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the
workers in the workers’ firm possess skills that are not easily
transferrable.
Finally, Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because
conditions within the workers’ industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell
International, Scanning and Mobility Division, including on-site
leased workers from Manpower, Skaneateles Falls, New York, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of barcode
scanners, 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, Scanning and
Mobility Division, including on-site leased workers of
Manpower, Skaneateles Falls, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
23, 2010, 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,
and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended.”
