Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents the results of an investigation regarding certification of eligi-bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance, each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the Act must be met:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof, have become totally or partially separated,
or are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or subdivision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles produced by the firm or appropriate subdivision have contributed importantly to the separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on May 21, 2001 in response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Honeywell Aircraft Landing Systems, South Bend, Indiana. Workers are engaged in
employment related to the production of aircraft wheels, brakes, and landing systems.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been met.
The investigation revealed that there were no company imports of articles like or directly competitive with the air-craft wheels, brakes, and landing systems produced by Honeywell Aircraft Landing Systems, South Bend, Indiana.
The U.S. Department of Labor conducted a survey of the major customers of Honeywell Aircraft Landing Systems, South Bend, Indiana, regarding their purchases of and/or contracts for aircraft wheels, brakes, and landing systems in 2000 and 2001. The survey revealed that the customers did not increase import purchases while reducing purchases from the subject firm. Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Honeywell Aircraft Landing Systems, South Bend, Indiana are denied eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 14th day of January, 2002.
