[[Page 34686]]

Worker Adjustment Assistance on March 22, 1999, applicable to all 
workers of Baroid Drilling Fluids headquartered in Houston, Texas. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on May 11, 1999 (64 FR 
25372).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in various activities related to the drilling for crude oil and natural 
gas. New findings show that Dresser Industries, Inc. is the parent firm 
of Sperry-Sun Drilling Services, headquartered in Houston, Texas, 
Baroid Drilling Fluids, headquartered in Houston, Texas and Security 
DBS, headquartered in Dallas, Texas and operating at various locations 
in the above cited states. New information provided by the State shows 
that some workers separated from employment at Sperry-Sun Drilling 
Services, Baroid Drilling Fluids and Security DBS had their wages 
reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for 
Dresser Industries, Inc., Dallas Texas.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:
