employment 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.
    The petitioners or any other persons showing a substantial interest 
in the subject matter of the investigations may request a public 
hearing with the Program Manager of OTAA at the U.S. Department of 
Labor (DOL) in Washington, D.C. provided such request is filed in 
writing with the Program Manager of OTAA not later than July 1, 1996.
    Also, interested persons are invited to submit written comments 
regarding the subject matter of the petitions to the Program Manager of 
OTAA at the address shown below not later than July 1, 1996.
    Petitions filed with the Governors are available for inspection at 
the Office of the Program Manager, OTAA, ETA, DOL, Room C-4318, 200
