Halliburton Energy Services, 2600 S.
2nd Street, Duncan, Oklahoma; Notice
of Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated June 22, 2016,
workers requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for worker
adjustment assistance applicable to
workers and former workers of
Halliburton Energy Services, 2600 S.
2nd Street, Duncan, Oklahoma. The
determination was issued on May 22,
2016.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
findings that increased imports of oil
and natural gas did not contribute
importantly to the separations at
Halliburton Energy Services, the firm
did not shift the production of oil or
natural gas to a foreign country or
acquire oil or natural gas from a foreign
country. Furthermore, the firm was not
a Supplier or Downstream Producer to
a firm whose workers were certified
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance and the firm was not
publicly named by the International
Trade Commission as a part of a
domestic industry in an affirmative
finding of serious injury, market
disruption, or material injury, or threat
thereof.
The request for reconsideration
asserts that workers in the same location
are receiving the same benefits.
