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 Michigan Fish Producers' Association, 
Caseville, Michigan, for trade adjustment assistance. The group 
represents channel catfish fishermen. The Administrator will determine 
within 40 days whether or not imports of catfish contributed 
importantly to a decline in domestic producer prices of more than 20 
percent during the marketing period beginning January 2003 and ending 
December 2003. If the determination is positive, all Michigan channel 
catfish fishermen 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:
