American Free Trade Agreement-Transitional Adjustment Assistance 
Implementation Act (P.L. 103-182) hereinafter called (NAFA-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 NAFTA-TAA petition has been received, the Acting Director 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 of 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.
