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