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 California Avocado Commission 
representing California avocado producers for trade adjustment 
assistance. The Administrator will determine within 40 days whether or 
not increasing imports of avocados contributed importantly to a decline 
in domestic producer prices of 20 percent or more during the marketing 
period beginning November 1, 2005, and ending October 31, 2006. If the 
determination is positive, all producers who produce and market their 
avocados in California will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service 
Agency for no cost technical assistance and for adjustment assistance 
payments.
