The Department's Notice of Determination was published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2015 (80 FR 19691).

At the request of a State Workforce Official, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of oil country tubular goods.

The investigation confirmed that worker separations from Maverick Tube Corporation, Houston, Texas are attributable to the increased imports that were the basis for the original certification.
