workers of Dresser Oil Tools, Dallas, Texas and operating at various 
locations in Texas (TA-W-34,762) and Louisiana (TA-W-34,762D). The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on October 9, 1998 (63 FR 
54495).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of oilfield equipment and provide office, 
administration, management and sales services.
    New information shows that Dresser Oil Tools, a Div. of Dresser 
Industries, Inc. purchased Axelson, Inc. in 1994. Worker separations 
occurred at Axelson, Inc. when it closed in March, 1999. The workers 
are engaged in the production of oilfield equipment. The State reports 
that some workers separated at Axelson, Inc., had their wages reported 
under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Dresser 
Industries, Inc., Dallas, Texas.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to include workers of Axelson, Inc.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Dresser Tools who were adversely affected by increased 
imports of oilfield equipment.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-34,762 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Dresser Oil Tools, Dallas, Texas, Axelson, Inc., 
Div. of Dresser Industries, Inc., and operating at various locations 
in the following States: Texas (TA-W-34,762) and Louisiana (TA-W-
34,762D), who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after July 6, 1997 through September 18, 2000 are eligible to 
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act 
of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 10th day of June, 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
