Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

ACTION: Notice


The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today accepted a petition filed by the A. Sam Farm Inc, Dunkirk, New York, for trade adjustment assistance. The petitioner represents a group of cabbage producers in New York. The Administrator will determine within 40 days whether or not imports of cabbages contributed importantly to a decline in domestic producer prices of more than 20 percent during the marketing year period beginning January 2003 through December 2003. If the determination is positive, all cabbage producers in New York will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical assistance at no cost and for adjustment assistance payments.
