American Free Trade Agreement-Transitional Adjustment Assistance 
Implementation Act (Pub. L. 103-182), hereinafter called (NAFTA-TAA), 
have been file with State Governors under section 250(a) of Subchapter

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.

employment of after December 8, 1993 (date of enactment of Pub. 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.

in the subject matter of the investigations may request a public 
hearing with the Program Manager of OTAA at the U.S.
