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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 17, 2020 by a State Workforce Office, on
behalf of workers of Cameron International Corporation, a
subsidiary of Schlumberger Limited, Little Rock, Arkansas.

The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of valves manufactured for oil and gas services.

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, the workers' firm, and the major
declining customer(s) of the workers' firm.

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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of valves manufactured for oil and gas services
by Cameron International Corporation, a subsidiary of Schlumberger
Limited, Little Rock, Arkansas, have decreased.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
reliance on imports of articles like or directly competitive
with the article produced by Cameron International Corporation,
a subsidiary of Schlumberger Limited, Little Rock Arkansas
increased.

Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer reliance on imports contributed importantly
to the worker group separations and sales/production declines
at Cameron International Corporation, a subsidiary of Schlumberger
Limited, Little Rock, Arkansas.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cameron International
Corporation, a subsidiary of Schlumberger Limited, Little Rock,
Arkansas, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of valves manufactured for oil and gas services, 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 Cameron International Corporation, a
subsidiary of Schlumberger Limited, Little Rock, Arkansas,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after September 16, 2019, 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 16th day of March, 2021.
