Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers
AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today
accepted a petition, and began a review of a petition, for trade
adjustment assistance submitted by the Southern Shrimp Alliance on
behalf of shrimpers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. The
Administrator will determine within 40 days whether or not increasing
imports of shrimp contributed importantly to a greater than 15 percent
decrease in the quantity of production of shrimp compared to the
average of the 3 preceding marketing years. If a determination is
affirmative, shrimpers who land and market shrimp in Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Texas, will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for
technical assistance at no cost and cash benefits.
