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.
    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

writing with the Program Manager of OTAA not later than August 23, 
1996.

regarding the subject matter of the petitions to the Program Manager of
