Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Administrator of the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) today 
accepted and began a review of a petition for trade adjustment 
assistance filed under the FY 2011 Program by 100% Puerto Rico Coffee 
Export Board, Inc. on behalf of coffee producers in Puerto Rico. The 
Administrator will determine within 40 days whether increasing imports 
of coffee contributed importantly to a greater than 15-percent decrease 
in the average annual price, production quantity, or production value 
of coffee compared to the average of the 3 preceding marketing years. 
If the determination is affirmative, producers who produce and market 
coffee in Puerto Rico will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service 
Agency for free technical assistance and cash benefits.
