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
[[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:
