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 Notice of Determination 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on 
February 24, 1999, applicable to workers of Baker Atlas operating at 
various locations in Texas, Louisiana, California, Pennsylvania, 
Massachusetts and Colorado. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on April 6, 1999 (64 FR 16753).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the exploration and drilling of crude oil. Findings on review show 
that some of the workers have had their wages reported to Unemployment 
Insurance tax accounts under Western Atlas Inc. and Wedge Dia-Log Inc. 
The company official explained that in August 1998, the subject firm 
merged with Western Atlas Inc. which owned Wedge Dia-Log Inc. The 
intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of 
Baker Atlas. Accordingly, the Department is amending the worker 
certification to reflect this matter.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-35,434A-F is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Baker Atlas, also known as Western Atlas Inc. and 
also known as Wedge Dia-Log Inc. in field locations in Texas (TA-W-
35,434A), Louisiana (TA-W-35,434B), California (TA-W-35,434C), 
Pennsylvania (TA-W-35,434D), Massachusetts (TA-W-35,434E), and

from employment on or after November 30, 1997 through February 24, 
2001, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 
223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC., this 24th day of May 1999.
