The Economic Development Administration (EDA), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, has received petitions from various firms seeking Trade Adjustment Assistance. These petitions request help because increased imports may have led to job losses or reduced business for these companies. The EDA is investigating to see if these imports significantly affected the firms involved. Interested parties can request a public hearing on this matter by submitting a written request within ten days of the notice's publication.
Simple Explanation
The Economic Development Administration is checking if some companies lost jobs because more stuff is being brought into the country from somewhere else, and people can ask to talk more about this but need to do it quickly.
