Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today 
terminated the certification of a petition for trade adjustment 
assistance (TAA) that was filed by the Potato Growers of Idaho, 
Blackfoot, Idaho. Idaho potato producers are no longer eligible for TAA 
benefits in fiscal year 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon investigation, the Administrator 
determined that U.S. imports of frozen French fry potatoes fell by 12 
percent. Therefore, imports were no longer a contributing factor for 
program eligibility--a requirement for TAA program eligibility and 
therefore insufficient grounds to re-certify this petition.

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

    Dated: March 15, 2006.
Michael W. Yost,
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
