Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Notice of Certification 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on 
February 2, 1996, applicable to all workers of Parker & Parsley 
Petroleum USA, Incorporated located in Midland, Texas. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on February 21, 1996 (61 FR 6660). 
The certification was amended on February 12, 1996, to include workers 
at the Parker & Parsley operations at various locations in Texas. The 
notice of amendment was published in the Federal Register on February 
23, 1996 (61 FR 7023).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers of Parker & 
Parsley Petroleum are engaged in employment related to the production 
of crude oil and natural gas. New information provided by the company 
shows that some of the workers of Parker & Parsley have had their wages 
reported to the Unemployment Insurance tax account of Pioneer Natural 
Resources USA, Inc.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by increased 
imports. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
include workers of Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-31,704 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Parker & Parsley Petroleum USA, Incorporated,
