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 March 31, 2017 on behalf of workers of United
Technologies Aerospace Systems, including on-site leased workers
from Butler America Aerospace, LLC, Chula Vista, California
(subject firm). United Technologies Aerospace Systems is engaged
in activities related to the production of aerospace parts.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the subject 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 subject
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker separations at
the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of United Technologies
Aerospace Systems, Chula Vista, California, who are engaged in
the production of aerospace parts, 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 United Technologies Aerospace Systems,
including on-site leased workers from Butler America
Aerospace, LLC, Chula Vista, California, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after March
22, 2016 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 6th day of February 2018.
