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 April 7, 2022 and
filed on April 7, 2022 by a state workforce office, on behalf of
former workers of Honeywell Safety Products USA, Inc., SPS-PPE
division, N95 Masks, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell
International Inc., Smithfield, Rhode Island (TA-W-98,251), and
Honeywell Safety Products USA, Inc., SPS-PPE division, Eyewear
Products (Safety Glasses and Goggles) and Face Shields, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc.,
Smithfield, Rhode Island (TA-W-98,251A) (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 of N95 masks, eyewear products (safety glasses and
goggles), and face shields.

The petitioner alleges that worker separations, or threats
thereof, were due to, "Firm and/or customer imports of articles
from a foreign country (China) - work previously done in Rhode

Island being done in and imported from China."

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 sales and/or
production of N95 masks, eyewear products (safety glasses and
goggles), and face shields have decreased.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the articles
produced by Honeywell Safety Products USA, Inc., SPS-PPE
division, Smithfield, Rhode Island 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 Safety
Products USA, Inc., SPS-PPE division, Smithfield, Rhode Island.

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).

The Department has determined that Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)
(II) has not been met. The investigation revealed that the
workers in the workers' firm possess skills that are easily
transferable to other jobs within the workers' region.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell Safety
Products USA, Inc., SPS-PPE division, N95 Masks, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., Smithfield, Rhode
Island (TA-W-98,251), and Honeywell Safety Products USA, Inc.,
SPS-PPE division, Eyewear Products (Safety Glasses and Goggles)
and Face Shields, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell
International Inc., Smithfield, Rhode Island (TA-W-98,251A), who
are engaged in activities related to the production of N95
masks, eyewear products (safety glasses and goggles), or face
shields, 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 Safety Products USA, Inc., SPS-
PPE division, N95 Masks, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Honeywell International Inc., Smithfield, Rhode Island (TA-
W-98,251), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 7, 2021, through two years
from the date of certification; and Honeywell Safety
Products USA, Inc., SPS-PPE division, Eyewear Products
(Safety Glasses and Goggles) and Face Shields, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc.,
Smithfield, Rhode Island (TA-W-98,251A), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after April
10, 2022, 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.

I further determine that all workers of Honeywell Safety
Products USA, Inc., SPS-PPE division, N95 Masks, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc.,
Smithfield, Rhode Island (TA-W-98,251), and Honeywell
Safety Products USA, Inc., SPS-PPE division, Eyewear
Products (Safety Glasses and Goggles) and Face Shields, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc.,
Smithfield, Rhode Island (TA-W-98,251A) 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 10th day of June, 2022
