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 Olive Growers Council, Visalia, 
California 93291, for trade adjustment assistance for olive producers 
in the state of California. The Administrator will determine within 40 
days whether or not increasing imports of processed olives in a saline 
solution contributed importantly to a decline in domestic producer 
prices of 20 percent or more during the marketing period beginning 
August 2003 and ending July 2004. If the determination is positive, all 
producers who market their olives in California will be eligible to 
apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical assistance at no cost 
and for adjustment assistance payments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean-Louis Pajot, Coordinator, Trade 
Adjustment Assistance for Farmers, FAS, USDA, (202) 720-2916, e-mail:
