Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    On March 22, 2007, the Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service 
(FAS), denied a petition for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) that was 
filed on February 16, 2007, by the Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative 
Association and the Burley Stabilization Corporation, representing 
burley tobacco producers in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North 
Carolina, West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon investigation, the Administrator 
determined the predominant reason for the decline in the burley tobacco 
price was the termination of the Tobacco Buyout Program in 2005, and 
that imports did not contribute importantly to the decline in price. 
Therefore, the burley tobacco petition did not meet the statutory 
requirement that imports contributed importantly to a decline in 
producer price.

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

    Dated: March 23, 2007.
W. Kirk Miller,
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
