[TA-W-36,453; TA-W-36,453A]


Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. Houston, Texas (Operating at 
Various Offshore Drilling Sites Located In American Waters) and Diamond 
Offshore Management Co. (Operating at Various Locations In Louisiana)

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on July 13, 1999, applicable to 
workers of Vinson Timber Products, Inc., Trout Creek, Montana. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on August 11, 1999 (64 FR 
43724).
    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 and natural gas. Findings 
show that workers separated from employment at Diamond Offshore 
Drilling, Inc., operating at various locations in the State of 
Louisiana, had their wages reported under a separate unemployment 
insurance (UI) tax account for Diamond Offshore Management Company.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. who were adversely affected 
by increased imports. Accordingly, the Department is amending the 
certification to reflect this matter.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-36,453 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc., Houston, Texas 
and operating at various offshore drilling sites located in American 
waters and Diamond Offshore Management Company, operating at various 
locations in the State of Louisiana who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after June 6, 1998 through July 13, 
2001 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 
223 of the Trade Act of 1974.


    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 6th day of March, 2001.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
