employment on or 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 Director of DTAA at the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) 
in Washington, DC provided such request is filed in writing with the 
Director of DTAA not later than April 21, 2000.
