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 the National Asparagus Council on behalf of
asparagus producers in California, Michigan, and Washington. The
Administrator will determine within 40 days whether or not increasing
imports of asparagus contributed importantly to a greater than 15
percent decrease in the quantity of production of asparagus compared to
the average of the 3 preceding marketing years. If a determination is
affirmative, producers who produce and market asparagus in California,
Michigan, and Washington, will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service
Agency for technical assistance at no cost and cash benefits.
