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 North Carolina Commercial Flower Growers 
Association on behalf of cut lily producers in Georgia, North Carolina, 
South Carolina, and Virginia. The Administrator will determine within 
40 days whether or not increasing imports of lilies contributed 
importantly to a greater than 15 percent decrease in cash receipts for 
lilies compared to the average of the 3 preceding marketing years. If a 
determination is affirmative, producers who produce and market cut 
lilies in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia 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 e-mail 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.
