Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur, L.L.C., Culberson Mine, a.k.a. McMoRan 
Exploration Co., Pecos, TX, Including Leased Workers of Pecos Valley 
Field Services, Inc., Pecos, Texas; Amended Certification 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 U.S. Department of Labor issued a Certification of 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on April 5, 1999 
applicable to workers of Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur, L.L.C., Culberson 
Mine, Pecos, Texas, including leased workers of Pecos Valley Field 
Services, Inc., Pecos, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on May 21, 1999 (64 FR 27811).
    At the request of the company and State agency, the Department 
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers 
are engaged in the production of molten elemental sulphur. Company 
information shows that Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur, L.L.C. ``became also 
known as McMoRan Exploration Company'' after its merger in November, 
1998.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification 
determination to correctly identify the new ownership to read 
``Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur L.L.C, Culberson Mine, also known as McMoRan 
Exploration Company,'' Pecos, Texas.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur, L.L.C. who were adversely affected 
by increased imports of molten elemental sulphur.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-35,557 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur, L.L.C, Culberson Mine, 
also known as McMoRan Exploration Company, Pecos, Texas, including 
leased workers of Pecos Valley Field Services, Inc., working at 
Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur, L.L.C., Pecos, Texas engaged in employment 
related to the production of molten elemental sulphur who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 
12, 1998 through April 5, 2001 are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of March, 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
