Honeywell Aerospace, Aerospace--Defense & Space Division, 
Teterboro, NJ; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated May 27, 2008, United Automobile, Aerospace & 
Agricultural Implement Workers of America, Local 153 requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The determination was issued on 
April 16, 2008. The Notice of determination was published in the 
Federal Register on May 2, 2008 (73 FR 24318).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of displays, processors, flight 
controls, software, and test equipment for aircrafts did not contribute 
importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift of 
production to a foreign source occurred.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleged that 
workers of the subject firm were separated as a direct result of 
Honeywell Aerospace opening a facility in Mexico. The petitioner also 
states that the subject firm is in the process of importing the 
articles produced in Mexico to the United States.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record and has determined that the 
Department will conduct further investigation to determine whether 
there was a shift in production from the subject facility to Mexico and 
whether the subject firm has imported like or directly competitive 
products in the relevant time period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 16th day of June, 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
