DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-31,900; BHP PETROLEUM (AMERICAS) INC. Texas and TA-W-31,900A; TA-
W-31,900B]


New Mexico; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply 
for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on February 26, 1996, applicable 
to all workers of BHP Petroleum (Americas), Inc., Houston, Texas. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on March 19, 1996 (61 FR 
11,224).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The Department's review 
of the certification revealed that workers at the subject firm's 
Midland, Texas, and Farmington, New Mexico, facilities were 
inadvertently excluded from the certification. Accordingly, the 
Department is amending the certification to include workers of BHP 
Petroleum (Americas) Inc., Midland, Texas, and Farmington, New Mexico. 
The workers were engaged in employment related to the production of 
crude oil and natural gas.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of BHP Petroleum (Americas) Inc., Midland, Texas, and 
Farmington, New Mexico, who were adversely affected by imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-31,900 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of BHP Petroleum (Americas) Inc., Houston, Texas 
(TA-W-31,900), and the facility in Midland, Texas (TA-W-31,900A), 
and the facility in Farmington, New Mexico (TA-W-31,900B), who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
January 24, 1995, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 23rd day of July, 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
