Abstract: Title V of the North American Free Trade Agreement 
Implementation Act (NAFTA) (PL 103-182) amends chapter 2 of title II of 
the Trade Act of 1974 by adding a new NAFTA Transitional Adjustment 
Assistance Program (NAFTA-TAA) for workers who lose their jobs because 
of increased imports from or a shift of production to Mexico and 
Canada. Most of the provisions of title V are in the form of amendments 
to chapter
2, title II, of the Trade Act. While some of the provisions are not in 
the form of amendments to the Trade Act they nonetheless must be given 
effect in implementing the NAFTA-TAA program. A proposed rule to amend 
the regulations on the trade adjustment assistance program for workers 
was published in the Federal Register on January 17, 1995.
