AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today 
accepted a petition filed by the National Alfalfa Alliance, Kennewick, 
Washington. The alliance represents non-certified (common) alfalfa seed 
producers in the states of California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, 
Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. The Administrator will 
determine within 40 days whether or not imports of non-certified 
(common) alfalfa seed contributed importantly to a decline in domestic 
producer prices by more than 20 percent during calendar year 2002. If 
the determination is positive, all alfalfa seed producers in the above 
listed impacted States will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service 
Agency for technical assistance at no cost and adjustment assistance 
payments.
