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:
