SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Nature and Conduct of Hearing

As set out in the notice published in

the Federal Register on September 7,

2000, the objective of the review will be

to gather information to assist the NAO

to better understand and publicly report

on occupational safety and health issues

and compensation in cases of

occupational injuries and illnesses

raised in the submission, including the

Government of Mexico’s compliance

with the obligations agreed to under

Articles 3,4,5, and 7 of the NAALC.

The hearing will be conducted by the

Secretary of the NAO or the Secretary’s

designee. It will be open to the public.

All proceedings will be conducted in

English, with simultaneous translation

in English and Spanish provided. The

public files for the submission,

including written statements, briefs, and

requests to present oral testimony, will

be made a part of the appropriate

hearing record. The public files will also

be available for inspection at the NAO

prior to the hearing.

The hearing will be transcribed. A

transcript of the proceeding will be

made available for inspection, as

provided for in Section E of the

procedural guidelines, or may be

purchased from the reporting company.

Disabled persons should contact the

Secretary of the NAO no later than

November 28, 2000 if special

accommodations are needed.

II. Written Statements or Briefs and

Requests To Present Oral Testimony

Written statements or briefs shall

provide a description of the information

to be presented or position taken and

shall be legibly typed or printed.

Requests to present oral testimony shall

include the name, address, and

telephone number of the witness, the

organization represented, if any, and

any other information pertinent to the

request. Five copies of a statement or

brief and a single copy of a request to

present oral testimony shall be

submitted to the NAO at the time of

filing.

No request to present oral testimony

will be considered unless accompanied

by a written statement or brief. A

request to present oral testimony may be

denied if the written statement or brief

suggests that the information sought to

be provided is unrelated to the review

of the submission or for other

appropriate reasons. The NAO will

notify each requester of the disposition

of the request to present oral testimony.

In presenting testimony, the witness

should summarize the written statement

or brief, may supplement the written

statement or brief with relevant

information, and should be prepared to

answer questions from the Secretary of

the NAO or the Secretary’s designee.

Oral testimony will ordinarily be

limited to a ten minute presentation, not

including the time for questions.

Persons desiring more than ten minutes

for their presentation should so state in

the request, setting out reasons why

additional time is necessary.

The requirements relating to the

submission of written statements or

briefs and requests to present oral

testimony may be waived by the

Secretary of the NAO for reasons of

equity and public interest.
