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 Catfish Farmers of America on behalf of 
U.S. farm-raised catfish producers. The Administrator will determine 
within 40 days whether or not increasing imports of catfish contributed 
importantly to a greater than 15 percent decrease in the national 
average price of catfish compared to the average of the 3 preceding 
marketing years. If a determination is affirmative, U.S. producers who 
produce and market farm-raised catfish 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.
