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 6, 2016 by a One-Stop Official on behalf of
workers of Universal Oil Products, a subsidiary of Honeywell
International Performance Materials and Technologies, Customer
Service Division, Des Plaines, Illinois. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of customer care
services.
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 workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Universal Oil Products, a subsidiary of
Honeywell International Performance Materials and
Technologies, Customer Service Division, Des Plaines,
Illinois.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Universal Oil
Products, a subsidiary of Honeywell International Performance
Materials and Technologies, Customer Service Division, Des
Plaines, Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of customer care services 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 Universal Oil Products, a subsidiary of
Honeywell International Performance Materials and
Technologies, Customer Service Division, Des Plaines,
Illinois, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 5, 2015 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 27th day of April 2016.
