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 June 14, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, Broussard,
Louisiana. The workers produce screen for use in oilfield well
operation. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Kelly Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Baker Hughes
Oilfield Operations, who are engaged in employment related to
production of screen for use in oilfield well operation, meet
the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Baker Hughes Oilfield
Operations, Broussard, Louisiana, who are engaged in employment
related to production of screen for use in oilfield well
operation 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 Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations,
including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services,
Broussard, Louisiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 8, 2009, through
two years from the date of certification, and all workers
in the group threatened with total or partial separation
from employment on the 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 29th day of October, 2010
