Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today 
accepted petitions filed by South Carolina Shrimpers' Association, P.O. 
Box 66, McClellanville, South Carolina 29458, and the South Carolina 
Shrimp Growers Association, 7575 Ethel Post Office Road, Meggett, South 
Carolina 29449, for trade adjustment assistance. The groups represent 
shrimpers and shrimp growers, respectively, in the state of South 
Carolina. The Administrator will determine within 40 days whether or 
not imports of shrimp and prawns contributed importantly to a decline 
in domestic producer prices of 20 percent or more during the marketing 
year period beginning January 2002 through December 2002. If the 
determination is positive, all shrimp producers in South Carolina will 
be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical 
assistance at no cost and for adjustment assistance payments.
