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 May 2, 2022, and
filed on May 3, 2022, by a state workforce office on behalf of
former workers of Honeywell Safety Products USA, Inc., SPSP-PPE
division, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International
Inc., Franklin, Pennsylvania (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 made-to-order fall harnesses, lanyards, anchors,
ropes, cables, shock absorbing attachments, and tie-off
railings.

The petitioner alleges that worker separations, or threats
thereof, were due to "This company is closing and has notified
their workers of closure by end of 2022, first Q, 2023. All work
will be shifting to their Tijuana Mexico plant."

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 a shift in
production of made-to-order fall harnesses, lanyards, anchors,
ropes, cables, shock absorbing attachments, and tie-off railings
to a foreign country that is party to a free trade agreement
with the United States has occurred.

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., SPSP-PPE division, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Honeywell International Inc., Franklin, Pennsylvania, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of made-to-order
fall harnesses, lanyards, anchors, ropes, cables, shock
absorbing attachments, and tie-off railings, 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 Safety Products USA, Inc., SPSP-
PPE division, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell
International Inc., Franklin, Pennsylvania, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 2, 2021, 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 Safety Products USA, Inc., SPSP-PPE division,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc.,
Franklin, Pennsylvania 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 1st day of June, 2022
