Notice of Petitions by Firms for Determination of Eligibility To 
Apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance

AGENCY: Economic Development Administration, Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice and Opportunity for Public Comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Section 251 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341 et 
seq.), the Economic Development Administration (EDA) has received 
petitions for certification of eligibility to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance from the firms listed below. EDA has initiated 
separate investigations to determine

[[Page 46246]]

whether increased imports into the United States of articles like or 
directly competitive with those produced by each firm contributed 
importantly to the total or partial separation of the firm's workers, 
or threat thereof, and to a decrease in sales or production of each 
petitioning firm.
