Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 22, 2010 by an Oklahoma State Workforce Office
on behalf of workers of Halliburton Company, Technology and
Engineering Division, Duncan, Oklahoma (TA-W-73,525) and
Halliburton Company, Finance and Administration Division,
Duncan, Oklahoma (TA-W-73,525A). The workers are engaged in the
supply of internal technical engineering (TA-W-73,525) and
administrative (TA-W-73,525A) services to the Duncan
Manufacturing facility in Duncan, Oklahoma. The Duncan
Manufacturing facility produces oil field service equipment and
was certified on August 21, 2009 based on a shift in production
(TA-W-70,232).
The investigation revealed that workers of the Duncan,
Oklahoma facility who are engaged in employment related to the
production of oil field service equipment meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
the workers has been separated.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted the production of an article like or directly
competitive with oil field service equipment to a foreign
country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production of oil field service equipment from the Duncan,
Oklahoma facility to India, China, Malaysia, and Mexico
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Duncan, Oklahoma facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Halliburton Company,
Technology and Engineering Division, Duncan, Oklahoma (TA-W-
73,525) and Halliburton Company, Finance and Administration
Division, Duncan, Oklahoma (TA-W-73,525A) meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:











"All workers of Halliburton Company, Technology and
Engineering Division, Duncan, Oklahoma (TA-W-73,525) and
Halliburton Company, Finance and Administration Division,
Duncan, Oklahoma (TA-W-73,525A) who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February
17, 2009, through two years from the date of certification,
and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."

Signed in Washington, D.C., this 26th day of May, 2010
