Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) today 
accepted petitions filed by the Louisiana Shrimp Association, P.O. Box 
1088, Grand Isle, Louisiana 70358, for trade adjustment assistance. The 
association represents shrimpers in the state of Louisiana. The 
Administrator will determine within 40 days whether or not imports of 
shrimp and prawns contributed importantly to a decline in domestic 
producer prices of 20 percent or more during the marketing period 
beginning January 2003 and ending December 2003. If the determination 
is positive, all shrimpers who land and market their shrimp in 
Louisiana will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for 
technical assistance at no cost and for adjustment assistance payments.
