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 August 8, 1994.
