Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today 
accepted a petition filed by the Georgia Shrimp Association, Darien, 
Georgia, for trade adjustment assistance. The group represents Georgia 
shrimpers of wild, ocean caught shrimp. The Administrator will 
determine within 40 days whether or not imports of shrimp contributed 
importantly to a decline in domestic producer prices of 20 percent or 
more during the marketing period beginning January 2002 and ending 
December 2002. If the determination is positive, all producers 
represented by the group will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service 
Agency for technical assistance at no cost and adjustment assistance 
payments.
