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 Maine State
Pomological Society on behalf of apple producers in Maine. The
Administrator will determine within 40 days whether increasing imports
of apples contributed importantly to a greater than 15-percent decrease
in the average annual price of apples compared to the average of the
three preceding marketing years. If the determination is affirmative,
producers who produce and market apples in Maine will be eligible to
apply to the Farm Service Agency for free technical assistance and cash
benefits.
