Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on April 8, 2002 and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Chevron U.S.A. Production Company (CPDN), Houston,
Texas including workers of Chevron U.S.A. Production Company
operating at various locations in the following states:

California, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Texas, and Wyoming respectively. The workers are engaged in
employment related to the exploration and production of crude oil
and natural gas.
The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the
subject locations declined in the relevant period.
The investigation also revealed that company imports of
crude oil increased in 2001 compared with 2000.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or
directly competitive with crude oil produced at Chevron U.S.A.
Production Company operating at various locations in the
following states: California, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming, contributed importantly to the
decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Chevron U.S.A. Production Company, Houston,
Texas (TA-W-41,242) operating at various location in the
following states: (TA-W-41,242A) California, (TA-W-41,242B)
Colorado, (TA-W-42,424C) Louisiana, (TA-W-41,242D) New
Mexico, (TA-W-36,295E) Oklahoma, (TA-W-41,242F) Texas



and(TA-W-41,242G) Wyoming engaged in the production of crude
oil, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 8, 2001, through two years from
the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 24th day of July, 2002.
