DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-56,149]

 
Honeywell International, Transportation Systems/Friction 
Materials Division, Cleveland, TN; Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application of February 9, 2005, a representative of the 
Tennessee AFL-CIO requested administrative reconsideration of the 
Department of Labor's Notice of negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA), applicable to workers of the subject firm.
    The Department's negative determination was issued on December 20, 
2004. The Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register 
on January 24, 2005 (70 FR 3392).
    The petitioner asserts that the workers of the subject firm possess 
skills which are not easily transferable to other jobs in the local 
commuting area and has provided information in support of its position.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the petitioner's request for 
reconsideration and has determined that the Department will conduct 
further investigation based on the new information provided by the 
petitioner and the company official.

Conclusion

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

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 1st day of March 2005
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
