SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Nature and Conduct of Hearings

As set out in the notices published in

the Federal Register on October 20 and

November 10, 1994, the objective of the

NAO’s review of the submissions is to

gather information to assist it to better

understand and publicly report on the

Government of Mexico’s promotion of

compliance with, and effective

enforcement of, its labor law through

appropriate government action, as set

out in Article 3 of the NAALC, and on

related matters.

The hearings will be conducted by the

Secretary of the NAO or the Secretary’s

designee. They will be open to the

public. All proceedings will be

conducted in English, with

simultaneous translation provided. The

public file for each 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 hearings.

The hearings will be transcribed. A

transcript of the proceedings 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

January 30, 1995 if special

accommodations are needed.

II. Written Statements or Briefs and

Requests To Present Oral Testimony

Written statements or briefs shall

provide a discussion of the information

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. Separate

documents should be filed for each

submission for which information is

provided or permission to testify is

sought.

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 the public interest.

Signed at Washington, DC, on January 9,

1995.
