DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Investigations Regarding Certifications of Eligibility To Apply 
for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    Petitions for transitional adjustment assistance under the North 
American Free Trade Agreement-Transitional Adjustment Assistance 
Implementation Act (P.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 
indentified in the Appendix to this Notice. Upon notice from a Governor 
that a NAFTA-TAA petition has been received, the Program Manager of the 
Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance (OTAA), 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 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 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 November 25, 
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 November 25, 1996.
    Petitions filed with the Governors are available for inspection at 
the Office of the Program Manager, OTAA, ETA, DOL, Room C-4318, 200 
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 5th day of November, 1996.
