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.

FAS, USDA, at (202) 720-0638, or by e-mail at:
