Investigations Regarding Certifications of Eligibility To Apply 
for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    Petitions for transitional adjustment assistance under the North 
American Free Trade Agreement-Transitional Adjustment Assistance 
Implementation Act (P.L. 103-182), hereinafter called (NAFTA-TAA), have 
been filed with State Governors under Section 250(a) of Subchapter D, 
Chapter 2, Title II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, are 
identified in the Appendix to this Notice. Upon notice from a Governor 
that a NAFTA-TAA petition has been received, the Director of the Office 
of Trade Adjustment Assistance (OTAA), Employment and Training 
Administration (ETA), Department of Labor (DOL), announces the filing 
of the petition and takes actions pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (e) of 
Section 250 of the Trade Act.
    The purpose of the Governor's actions and the Labor Department's 
investigations are to determine whether the workers separated from 
employment after December 8, 1993 (date of enactment of P.L. 103-182) 
are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Subchapter D of the Trade Act 
because of increased imports from or the shift in production to Mexico 
or Canada.
    The petitioners or any other persons showing a substantial interest 
in the subject matter of the investigations may request a public 
hearing with the Director of OTAA at the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) 
in Washington, D.C., provided such request is filed in writing with the 
Director of OTAA not later than January 23, 1995.
    Also, interested persons are invited to submit written comments 
regarding the subject matter of the petitions to the Director of OTAA 
at the address shown below not later than January 23, 1995.
