Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), terminated 
the certification of a petition for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) 
on December 12, 2006, that was filed by a group of Florida avocado 
producers. Florida avocado producers are no longer eligible for TAA 
benefits in fiscal year 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon investigation, the Administrator 
determined that U.S. producer prices for fresh Florida avocados were 39 
percent higher than the base five-year average price. Therefore, 
producer prices were no longer a contributing factor for program 
eligibility--a requirement for TAA program eligibility and therefore 
insufficient grounds to re-certify this petition.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean-Louis Pajot, Coordinator, Trade 
Adjustment Assistance for Farmers, FAS, USDA, (202) 720-2916, e-mail: 
trade.adjustment@fas.usda.gov.


    Dated: January 5, 2007.
W. Kirk Miller,
Acting, Administrator Foreign Agricultural Service.
