Penetrators, Inc., Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    The Department, on its own motion, has further considered the 
findings in the subject investigation. New findings in the 
investigation show that all of the Group Eligibility Requirements of 
the Trade Act are met.
    The findings show that Penetrators, Inc., provides drilling 
services to unaffiliated production firms in the oil and gas industry.
    The findings show substantial worker separations occurred in 1993 
and the subject firm experienced a decline in revenues in 1993 compared 
to 1992.
    U.S. imports of crude oil and natural gas increased in 1993 
compared to 1992.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that increased imports of articles 
like or directly competitive with crude oil and natural gas for which 
drilling services were performed by workers of Penetrators, Inc., in 
Midland and Houston, Texas contributed importantly to the decline in 
sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers 
of the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Trade Act 
of 1974, I make the following revised determination:

    All workers of Penetrators, Inc., in Midland, Texas and Houston, 
Texas who become totally or partially separated from employment on 
or after September 16, 1992 are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 23rd day of December 1994.

Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
