ACTION: Notice and opportunity for
public comment.
Pursuant to Section 251 of the Trade

Economic Development Administration
(EDA) has received petitions or
certification of eligibility to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance from the

separate investigations to determine
whether increased imports into the
United States of articles like or directly
competitive with those produced by
each firm contributed importantly to the

decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.
