ACTION: Notice.

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today 
accepted a petition, and began a review

[[Page 23226]]

of a petition, for trade adjustment assistance by three fresh blue crab 
fishermen in the state of Georgia. The Administrator will determine 
within 40 days whether or not increasing imports of blue crabs 
contributed importantly to a greater than 15 percent decrease in the 
quantity of production of fresh blue crabs compared to the average of 
the 3 preceding marketing years. If a determination is affirmative, 
commercial fishermen who land and market fresh blue crabs in Georgia 
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:
