Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today 
accepted a petition filed by a group of fresh garlic producers in the 
state of California for trade adjustment assistance. The Administrator 
will determine within 40 days whether or not imports of garlic 
contributed importantly to a decline in domestic producer prices of 
more than 20 percent during the marketing period beginning October 2002 
and ending September 2003. 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.
