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 30, 2012 by the company official on behalf of
workers of Hamilton Sundstrand, a subsidiary of United
Technologies Corporation, Power Systems Division, Sheet Metal
and APU Departments, San Diego, California (Hamilton). The
worker group also includes on-site leased workers from Arnold-
Hanafin Corporation, Belcan Engineering, Volt Services Group,
Inc., and Turbomachinery Support Services, LLC. The subject
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of
aircraft engines and parts for use in the aerospace industry.
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 workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country production of articles like or
directly competitive with the aircraft engines and parts
produced by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Hamilton.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hamilton Sundstrand,
Power Systems Division, Sheet Metal and APU Departments, San
Diego, California, 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 Hamilton Sundstrand, a subsidiary of United
Technologies Corporation, Power Systems Division, Sheet
Metal and APU Departments, including on-site leased workers
from Arnold-Hanafin Corporation, Belcan Engineering, Volt
Services Group, Inc., and Turbomachinery Support Services,
LLC, San Diego, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 29, 2011,
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."
