Freeport Sulphur Co., and Leased Workers of Pecos Valley Field 
Services, Inc., Freeport McMoRan Sulphur, Inc., Pecos, TX; Amended 
Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA-Transitional 
Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 250(A), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title 
II, of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on 
February 17, 1998, applicable to all workers of Freeport Sulphur 
Company, including leased workers of Pecos Valley Field Services, 
Incorporated, Pecos, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on March 16, 1998 (63 FR 12838).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information provided 
by the State shows that some workers separated from employment at 
Freeport Sulphur Company had their wages reported under a separate 
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account at Freeport McMoRan Sulphur, 
Incorporated. Workers from Freeport McMoRan Sulphur, Incorporated 
produced molten elemental sulphur at the Pecos, Texas location of 
Freeport Sulphur Company.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to include workers from Freeport McMoRan Sulphur, 
Incorporated, Pecos, Texas who were engaged in the production of molten 
elemental sulphur at Freeport Sulphur Company, Pecos, Texas.

    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Freeport Sulphur Company adversely affected by the shift of 
production to Mexico.

follows:

    All workers of Freeport Sulphur Company, Pecos, Texas (NAFTA--
02046), including leased workers of Pecos Valley Field Services,
