Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today 
accepted a petition filed by a group of five citrus producers for trade 
adjustment assistance. The group represents growers of navel oranges in 
the state of California. The Administrator will determine within 40 
days whether or not imports of clementines contributed importantly to a 
decline in domestic producer prices of more than 20 percent during the 
November 2002-May 2003 marketing year. If the determination is 
positive, all producers represented by the group will be eligible to 
apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical assistance at no cost 
and adjustment assistance payments.

Adjustment Assistance for Farmers, FAS, USDA, (202) 720-2916, e-mail:
