Plains Petroleum Operating Co., Southern District, Midland, 
Texas; Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On December 22, 1993, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for workers and 
former workers of the Plains Petroleum Operating Company, Southern 
District, in Midland, Texas. The notice will soon be published in the 
Federal Register.
    Investigation findings show that the company submitted corporate 
sales and production data instead of data for the Southern District of 
Plains Petroleum Operating Company in Midland, Texas.
    The new findings on reconsideration show that crude oil and natural 
gas sales and production decreased in the 12 month period ending in 
July 1993 compared to the same period in 1992.
    Other findings on reconsideration show substantial worker 
separations in 1993.
    U.S. imports of crude oil and natural gas increased in 1992 
compared to 1991 and in the first six months of 1993 compared to the 
same period in 1992.
    The Department's survey showed major customers reducing their 
purchases of crude oil from the Midland facility and increasing their 
purchases of imported crude oil.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration it is concluded that increased imports of articles like 
or directly competitive with the production of crude oil and natural 
gas in the Southern District of Plains Petroleum Operating Company in 
Midland, Texas contributed importantly to the total or partial 
separation of workers at the Plains Petroleum Operating Company. In 
accordance with the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the 
following revised determination:

    All workers of the Plains Petroleum Operating Company Southern 
District, in Midland, Texas who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after August 3, 1992 are eligible to 
apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act 
of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC., this 27th day of December 1993.
Mary Ann Wyrsch,
Director, Unemployment Insurance Service.
