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
[[Page 43141]]
filed under the FY 2011 Program by three lamb producers on behalf of
lamb producers in Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. A public hearing to review
the merits of the petition will be held in Room 411-P, of Suite 400,
Portals Office Building, 1250 Maryland Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20024,
on July 21, 2010, at 11 a.m. ET. The Administrator will determine
within 40 days whether or not increasing imports of lamb meat
contributed importantly to a greater than 15-percent decrease in the
production quantity of lambs compared to the average of the three
preceding marketing years. If the determination is affirmative,
producers who produce and market lambs in Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming will
be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for free technical
assistance and cash benefits.
