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.
