    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today

[[Page 69510]]

accepted a petition filed by a group of Florida avocado producers for 
trade adjustment assistance. The Administrator will determine within 40 
days whether or not increasing avocado imports contributed importantly 
to a decline in domestic producer prices of 20 percent or more during 
the marketing period beginning June 1, 2004, and ending February 28, 
2005. If the determination is positive, all producers who produce and 
market their avocados in Florida will be eligible to apply to the Farm 
Service Agency for no cost technical assistance and for adjustment 
assistance payments.
