Certification Regarding Eligibility

To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance and

Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply For

Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("the Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
("Department") herein presents the results of an investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance ("TAA") for workers.

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)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm or
subdivision have decreased absolutely; and

(ii) imports of articles like or directly competitive
with articles produced by such firm or subdivision have
increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm or subdivision

The investigation was initiated in response to a Trade
Adjustment Assistance for Workers (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) petition dated August 3, 2021, and
filed on August 4, 2021, by a state workforce office on behalf of
former workers of Honeywell Building Technologies "“ Fire &
Security, Integrated Supply Chain, a subsidiary of Honeywell
International, Inc., Northford, Connecticut (hereafter referred
to as the "worker group"). In accordance with 20 C.F.R. 618.110 a
worker group is defined as, ""¦inclusive of teleworkers and staffed
workers."

The worker group is engaged in activities related to the
production and distribution of fire alarm systems.

The petition alleges that worker separations, or threats
thereof, were due to, "Workers in the Materials Planning Team at
the Northford, CT location were notified that they were being laid
off as their positions were moved to the Honeywell Location in
Mexico."

Although the group of workers on whose behalf the petition
was filed concerns workers within the Materials Planning, HBT-Fire
division, the Department determined that the investigation would
encompass all workers of the Northford location.

During the course of the investigation, the Department
collected information from the petitioner(s), the workers' firm,
and other relevant sources.

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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of fire alarm systems at Honeywell Building
Technologies "“ Fire & Security, Integrated Supply Chain,
Northford, Connecticut, have decreased.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the article produced
by Honeywell Building Technologies "“ Fire & Security, Integrated
Supply Chain, Northford, Connecticut, have increased.

Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Honeywell Building
Technologies "“ Fire & Security, Integrated Supply Chain,
Northford, Connecticut.

ALTERNATIVE TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE

In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2813, the Department herein presents
the results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
("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.

The Department has further determined that criterion II has
not been met. The investigation revealed that the workers in the
workers' firm possess skills that are easily transferable.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell Building
Technologies "“ Fire & Security, Integrated Supply Chain, a
subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc., Northford,
Connecticut, who are engaged in activities related to the
production and distribution of fire alarm systems, meet the worker
group certification criteria under 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 Building Technologies "“ Fire &
Security, Integrated Supply Chain, a subsidiary of Honeywell
International, Inc., Northford, Connecticut, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 3, 2020, 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 I further determine that all workers of
Honeywell Building Technologies "“ Fire & Security, Integrated
Supply Chain, a subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc.,
Northford, Connecticut, are denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
