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

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 December 23,
