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 Maine State 
Pomological Society on behalf of apple producers in Maine. The 
Administrator will determine within 40 days whether increasing imports 
of apples contributed importantly to a greater than 15-percent decrease 
in the average annual price of apples compared to the average of the 
three preceding marketing years. If the determination is affirmative, 
producers who produce and market apples in Maine will be eligible to 
apply to the Farm Service Agency for free technical assistance and cash 
benefits.
