Baroid Drilling Fluids Headquartered in Houston, TX and Operating 
in the Following States; Mississippi, Alabama; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on March 22, 1999, applicable to 
all workers of Baroid Drilling Fluids headquartered in Houston, Texas. 
The notice will be published soon in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that 
worker separations have occurred at Baroid Drilling Fluids operating at 
various locations in Mississippi and Alabama. The workers are engaged 
in various activities related to the drilling for crude oil and natural 
gas.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Baroid Drilling Fluids adversely affected by increased 
imports. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
cover workers of Baroid Drilling Fluids operating at various locations 
in Mississippi and Alabama.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-35,711AA is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Baroid Drilling Fluids, headquartered in 
Houston, Texas (TA-W-35,711AA), operating at various locations in 
Mississippi (TA-W-35,711AS) and Alabama (TA-W-35,711AT) who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 
17, 1998 through March 22, 2001 are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC this 23rd day of April, 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
