American Free Trade Agreement-Transitional Adjustment Assistance 
Implementation Act (Pub. L. 103-182), hereinafter called (NAFTA-TAA), 
have been filed with State Governors under Section 250(b)(1) of 
Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended, are identified in the Appendix to this Notice. Upon notice 
from a Governor that a NAFTA-TAA petition has been received, the

Employment and Training 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.
    The purpose of the Governor's actions and the Labor Department's 
investigations are to determine whether the workers separated from 
employment after December 8, 1993 (date of enactment of Public Law 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 October 7, 
1996.
    Also, interested persons are invited to submit written comments 
regarding the subject matter of the petitions to the Program Manager of
