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