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 freshwater crawfish producers 
in Louisiana for trade adjustment assistance. The Administrator will 
determine within 40 days whether or not imports of crawfish contributed 
importantly to a decline in domestic producer prices of more than 20 
percent during the marketing year period beginning January 2002 through 
December 2002. If the determination is positive, all crawfish producers 
in Louisiana will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for 
technical assistance at no cost and for adjustment assistance payments.
