Ponder Industries, Inc.; Ponder Fishing Tools; Healdton, Oklahoma; El Reno, Oklahoma; 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 Notice of Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on July 30, 1999, applicable to workers of Ponder Industries, Inc., Ponder Fishing Tools located in Healdton, Oklahoma. The notice was published in the Federal Register on September 29, 1999 (64 FR 52540).

At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New company information shows that all workers were separated at Ponder Fishing Tools, El Reno, Oklahoma facility of Ponder Industries, Inc. when it closed in June, 1999. The workers provided oilfield services related to the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas for oil and gas producers.

Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover the workers of Ponder Industries, Inc., Ponder Fishing Tools, El Reno, Oklahoma.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Ponder Industries, Inc., Ponder Fishing Tools who were adversely affected by increased imports.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-36,525 is hereby issued as follows:

All workers of Ponder Industries, Inc., Ponder Fishing Tools, Healdton, Oklahoma (TA-W-36,525) and Ponder Fishing Tools, El Reno, Oklahoma (TA-W-36,525A) who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after June 25, 1998 through July 30, 2001 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, DC this 22nd day of November, 1999. Grant D. Beale, Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
