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 Fiscal Year 2011 program by the Prune
Bargaining Association on behalf of prune and dried plum producers in
California. The Administrator will determine within 40 days whether
increasing imports of prunes and dried plums contributed importantly to
a greater than 15-percent decrease in the average annual price of
prunes and dried plums compared to the average of the three preceding
marketing years. If the determination is affirmative, producers who
produce and market prunes and dried plums in California will be
eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for free technical
assistance and cash benefits.
