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 4,
2003, applicable to workers of Halliburton Formation Evaluation
Machine Shop, Alvarado, Texas. The notice was published in the

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New

employees of Jet Research Corporation, Alvarado, Texas, employed
at Halliburton Formation Evaluation Machine Shop, Alvarado,
Texas.
The Jet Research Corporation employees were engaged in the
production and support of logging tool for oil drilling at the
Alvarado, Texas location of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department=s certification is to include
all workers of Jet Research Corporation, Alvarado, Texas working
at Halliburton Formation Evaluation Machine Shop, Alvarado, Texas
who were adversely affected by increased imports.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-50,908 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Halliburton Formation Evaluation
Machine Shop, Alvarado, Texas, including workers of Jet
Research Corporation, Alvarado, Texas producing logging
tools for oil drilling at Halliburton Formation
Evaluation Machine Shop, Alvarado, Texas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 13, 2002, through March 4, 2005, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on February 14, 2003 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Halliburton
Formation Evaluation Machine Shop, Alvarado, Texas. The workers
are engaged in employment in support of an affiliated oil drilling
service facility.
The investigation revealed that workers at the subject plant
produce metal and plastic component parts which are supplied to an
affiliated facility whose workers have experienced significant
declines in employment and are under an existing certification for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (Halliburton Energy Services, Houston,
Texas, TA-W-41,091E). Thus the reduced demand for machine shop
services from a previously certified facility is directly related
to the worker separations at Alvarado, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases in imports of crude oil
affecting an affiliated facility supported by Halliburton Formation
Evaluation Machine Shop, Alvarado, Texas contributed importantly to
the total or partial separation of workers and to the decline in
sales or production at that firm or subdivision. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

"All workers of Halliburton Formation Evaluation Machine Shop,
Alvarado, Texas who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 13, 2002, through two years
from the date of certification are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended"
