Service, A/K/A Updike Brothers Well Service, A/K/A Flint Engineering

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on February 17, 
1999, applicable to workers of Key Energy Services, Inc., Rocky 
Mountain Division, Williston, North Dakota, and operating at various 
locations in North Dakota and Montana. The notice will soon be 
published in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information provided 
by the company reveal that worker separations have occurred at Key 
Energy Services, Inc., Rocky Mountain Division, at locations in the 
State of Wyoming. Other findings on review show that Key Energy 
Services Inc., Rocky Mountain Division has acquired several companies 
in the recent past, Frontier Well Service, Teton Well Service, Dunbar 
Well Service, Updike Brothers Well Service, Flint Engineering and 
Construction, and J.W. Gibson Well Service. The workers provide 
oilfield services for unaffiliated customers.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to cover all 
workers of Key Energy Services, Inc., Rocky Mountain Division, who were 
adversely affected by increased imports. Accordingly, the Department is 
amending the certification to expand coverage to all workers of the 
subject firm in Wyoming and to workers of those firms acquired by Key 
Energy Services, Inc., Rocky Mountain Division. Additionally, workers 
of J.W. Gibson Well Service in Williston, North Dakota were certified 
eligible to apply for TAA on August 11, 1998, petition number TA-W-
34,818. Since that certification does not expire until August 11, 2000, 
the earliest impact date that can be established to cover any workers 
of Key Energy Services, Inc., Rocky Mountain Division, formerly 
employed by J.W. Gibson Well Service in Williston, North Dakota, is 
Asugust 12, 2000.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-35,486 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Key Energy Services, Inc., Rocky Mountain 
Division, also known as Frontier Well Service, also known as Teton 
Well Service, also known as Dunbar Well Service, also known as
