Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today 
terminated the certification of petitions for trade adjustment 
assistance (TAA) that was filed by shrimp producers in Alabama, 
Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. Shrimp 
producers in these states are no longer eligible for TAA benefits in 
fiscal year 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon investigation, the Administrator 
determined that U.S. imports of shrimp fell by 7.9 million pounds 
between 2003 and 2004, a decline of 0.9 percent. Therefore, imports 
were no longer a contributing factor for program eligibility. An 
increase in imports is required for re-certifying a petition for TAA.

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

    Dated: October 20, 2005.
W. Kirk Miller,
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
