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 Tropical Fruit Growers of South 
Florida, Inc., representing a group of fresh lychee producers from 
Florida for trade adjustment assistance. The Administrator will 
determine within 40 days whether or not imports of lychees contributed 
importantly to a decline in domestic producer prices by more than 20 
percent during the marketing period beginning May 2003 and ending July 
2003. If the determination is positive, all lychee producers will be 
eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical assistance 
at no cost and adjustment assistance.
