Baker Atlas, Houston, Texas; Notice of

Revised Determination on Remand

The United States Court of

International Trade accepted the

Department’s motion for voluntary

remand to conduct further investigation

in its negative determination in Former

Employees of Baker Hughes v. Alexis

Herman, U.S. Secretary of Labor, No.

99–07–00438. As a result of the new

investigation, the Department is now

certifying the workers of Baker Atlas,

Houston, Texas as eligible to apply for

worker adjustment assistance under

Section 223 of the Trade Act.

The February 24, 1999, denial of TAA

for workers of the subject firm was

based on the finding that criterion (3) of

the group eligibility requirements of

Section 222 of the Trade Act was not

met. Workers at the subject firm

headquarters and oil equipment

production facility in Houston were

denied because imports of oilfield

equipment did not contribute to worker

separations.

New investigation findings show that

the headquarters staff including those

workers producing oilfield equipment

are directly in support of the subject

firm’s exploration and production of

crude oil and natural gas.

Conclusion

After careful review of the additional

facts obtained on remand, it is

concluded that increased imports of

articles like or directly competitive with

crude oil contributed importantly to the

decline in sales or production and to the
