DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-31,327 and TA-W-31, 3270]
BJ Services Company, U.S.A. Including Former Employees of Western
Company of North America A/K/A Western Oceanic Services, Inc.,
Headquartered in Houston, TX and Operating in Various Locations in the
State of Texas; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply
for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on October 13, 1995, applicable
to all workers of BJ Services Company, U.S.A., headquartered in
Houston, Texas and operating at various locations in the State of
Texas. The notice was published in the Federal Register on October 27,
1995 (60 FR 55064).
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. Findings show that the
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of crude
oil and natural gas. New information reported by the company shows that
in April 1995, BJ Services bought the Western Company of North America.
Some workers of BJ Services have had their wages reported under the
predecessor tax account of Western Company of North America as well as
Western Oceanic Services, Inc. The intent of the Department's
certification is to include all workers of the subject firm who were
adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-31,327 and TA-W-31,3270 is
hereby issued as follows:
``All workers of BJ Services Company, U.S.A., including former
employees of Western Company of North America, A/K/A Western Oceanic
Services, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas (TA-W-31,327), and
operating in various locations in the State of Texas (TA-W-31,3270)
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 3, 1994 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 22nd day of January 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
