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)(B)(i) there has been a shift in production by such
workers' firm or subdivision to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with articles which
are produced by such firm or subdivision; and

(ii)(I) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States;

(II) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a beneficiary under
the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or the Caribbean
Basin Economic Act; or

(III) there has been or is likely to be an increase
in imports of articles that are like or directly
competitive with articles which are or were produced by
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 24, 2021 and
filed on August 25, 2021, by a company official on behalf of
former workers of Honeywell Aerospace, ISC Manufacturing
division, a subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc., Phoenix,
Arizona (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 workers' firm is a manufacturer of aircraft propulsion
engines, as well as auxiliary power units (APUs), gears, shafts,
and other avionics. The worker group on whose behalf the petition
was filed concerns workers engaged in the production of gears and
shafts, which are components of the engines.

The petition alleges that worker separations, or threats
thereof, were due to "Production of article is being transitioned
to a foreign country (Mexico)."

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)(B) has been met because the decline in
employment is related to a shift in production of gears to a
foreign country that is party to a free trade agreement with the
United States.

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 Section
246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has not been met because 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 Aerospace,
ISC Manufacturing division, a subsidiary of Honeywell
International, Inc., Phoenix, Arizona, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of gears and shafts, 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 Aerospace, ISC Manufacturing
division, a subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc.,
Phoenix, Arizona, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 24, 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 Aerospace, ISC Manufacturing
division, a subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc.,
Phoenix, Arizona are denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 30th day of September, 2021
