Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today 
accepted a petition, and began a review of a petition, for trade 
adjustment assistance by the Florida Keys Commercial Fishermen's 
Association on behalf of Florida fishermen who catch and market rock 
``spiny'' lobsters. The Administrator will determine within 40 days 
whether or not increasing imports of rock ``spiny'' lobster contributed 
importantly to a greater than 15 percent decrease in the national 
average price of rock ``spiny'' lobsters compared to the average of the 
3 preceding marketing years. If a determination is affirmative, 
fishermen who catch and market rock ``spiny'' lobsters in Florida will 
be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical 
assistance at no cost and cash benefits.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Trade Adjustment Assistance Staff, 
FAS, USDA, at (202) 720-0638, or by email at: 
[email protected]. Additional program information can be 
obtained at the Web site for the Trade Adjustment Assistance for 
Farmers program. The URL is http://www.fas.usda.gov/itp/taa.
