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 Gollott's Oil Dock and Icehouse, Inc., 
Biloxi, Mississippi, for trade adjustment assistance. Gollott's 
represents Mississippi shrimpers. The Administrator will determine 
within 40 days whether or not imports of shrimp contributed importantly 
to a decline in domestic producer prices of more than 20 percent during 
the marketing year period beginning January 2003 through December 2003. 
If the determination is positive, all shrimp producers in Mississippi 
will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical 
assistance at no cost and for adjustment assistance payments.
