INCLUDING WORKERS WHOSE WAGES WERE REPORTED UNDER QUINN PUMPS

LUFKIN, TEXAS

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:

(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers
in such workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated;

(2)(B)(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

(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; AND

(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 4, 2020, by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of Lufkin Industries LLC, Oilfield-Buck Creek division,
a wholly-owned affiliate of Baker Hughes, including workers
whose wages were reported under Quinn Pumps, Lufkin, Texas. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of beam pumping units for oilfields.

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and workers' firm.

The worker group was previously certified eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under petition no. TA-W-
93,585. The certification expired on April 12, 2020.

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally
or partially separated.

Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to the worker group separations at
Lufkin Industries LLC, Lufkin, Texas. A shift in production was
also discovered.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Lufkin Industries LLC,
Oilfield-Buck Creek division, a wholly-owned affiliate of Baker
Hughes, including workers whose wages were reported under Quinn
Pumps, Lufkin, Texas, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of beam pumping units for oilfields, 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 Lufkin Industries LLC, Oilfield-Buck Creek
division, a wholly-owned affiliate of Baker Hughes,
including workers whose wages were reported under Quinn
Pumps, Lufkin, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 13, 2020, 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 12th day of February, 2021
