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:
(1) 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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on April 16, 2012 by a State Workforce Agency on behalf
of workers of Honeywell International, Sensing and Control
Division, Acton, Massachusetts (Honeywell International,
Sensing and Control Division). The subject workers are
engaged in employment related to the production of stainless
steel pressure transducers.
The subject worker group includes on-sited leased workers
from Manpower, Pembroke Pines, and Cortech, LLC.
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 Honeywell
International, Sensing and Control Division 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 workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the stainless steel
pressure transducers produced by the subject firm, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Honeywell International, Sensing and Control Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell
International, Sensing and Control Division, Acton,
Massachusetts, who were engaged in employment related to the
production of stainless steel pressure transducers, 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, Sensing and
Control Division, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Pembroke Pines, and Cortech, LLC, Acton,
Massachusetts, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after April 12, 2011 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 22nd day of June, 2012.
