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 Southeastern Fisheries Association, 
Tallahassee, Florida, for trade adjustment assistance. The group 
represents Florida shrimpers. 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.

Adjustment Assistance for Farmers, FAS, USDA, (202) 720-2916, email:
