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 by Birches Cranberry Company on behalf of 
cranberry producers in New Jersey. The Administrator will determine 
within 40 days whether or not increasing imports of cranberries 
contributed importantly to a greater than 15 percent decrease in the 
national average price of cranberries compared to the average of the 3 
preceding marketing years. If a determination is affirmative, producers 
who produce and market cranberries in New Jersey will be eligible to 
apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical assistance at no cost 
and cash benefits.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Trade Adjustment Assistance Staff, 
FAS, USDA, at (202) 720-0638, or by e-mail at: 
[email protected]. Additional program information can be 
obtained at the Web site for the Trade Adjustment Assistance for 
Farmers program. The URL is http://www.fas.usda.gov/itp/taa.
