Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The Administrator of the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) today 
accepted and began a review of a petition for trade adjustment 
assistance filed under the FY 2011 program by the New Hampshire 
Commercial Fishermen's Association on behalf of American lobster 
(Homarus americanus) fishermen who catch and market their lobster in 
New Hampshire. The Administrator will determine within 40 days whether 
or not increasing imports of American lobster contributed importantly 
to a greater than 15-percent decrease in the average annual price of 
lobster compared to the average of the 3 preceding marketing years. If 
the determination is affirmative, fishermen who land and market 
American lobster in New Hampshire will be eligible to apply to the Farm 
Service Agency for free technical assistance and cash benefits.
