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 National Grape Cooperative Association 
representing Michigan Concord juice grape producers for trade 
adjustment assistance. The Administrator will determine within 40 days 
whether or not increasing grape juice, not from concentrate, imports 
contributed importantly to a decline in domestic producer prices of 20 
percent or more during the marketing period beginning August 1, 2004, 
and ending July 31, 2005. If the determination is positive, all 
producers who produce and market their Concord juice grapes in Michigan 
will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for no cost 
technical assistance and for adjustment assistance payments.
