DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[NAFTA-03328]


Walker McDonald Mfg. Co., a/k/a National Oilwell LP, Varel 
International, Greenville, 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 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on 
August 13, 1999, applicable to workers of Walker McDonald Mfg. Co., a/
k/a National Oilwell LP, Greenville, Texas. The notice was published in 
the Federal Register on September 29, 1999 (64 FR 52542).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in the production of tri-cone roller bits used by the oilfield and 
mining industries. New information provided by the State show that 
Varel International, Carrollton, Texas is the parent firm of Walker 
McDonald Mfg. Co., a/k/a National Oilwell LP, located in Greenville, 
Texas. New information also shows that workers separated from 
employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under a 
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account at Varel 
International.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Walker McDonald Mfg. Co., a/k/a National Oilwell LP who were 
adversely affected by increased imports from Mexico.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-03328 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Walker McDonald Mfg. Co., a/k/a National Oilwell 
LP, Varel International, Greenville, Texas who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after July 21, 1998 
through August 13, 2001 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under 
Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of August, 2000.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
