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 the National Grape Cooperative 
Association representing Michigan and Washington Concord juice grape 
producers. Concord juice grape producers in these states are no longer 
eligible for TAA benefits in fiscal year 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon investigation, the Administrator 
determined that U.S. imports of grape juice fell by 10.1 million liters 
between 2005 and 2006, a decline of 4 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: January 17, 2007.
Michael W. Yost,
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
