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 Fiscal Year 2011 program by the Prune 
Bargaining Association on behalf of prune and dried plum producers in 
California. The Administrator will determine within 40 days whether 
increasing imports of prunes and dried plums contributed importantly to 
a greater than 15-percent decrease in the average annual price of 
prunes and dried plums compared to the average of the three preceding 
marketing years. If the determination is affirmative, producers who 
produce and market prunes and dried plums in California will be 
eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for free technical 
assistance and cash benefits.
