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 National Asparagus
Council on behalf of asparagus producers in
California, Michigan, and Washington. The
Administrator will determine within 40 days
whether or not increasing imports of asparagus
contributed importantly to a greater than 15
percent decrease in the quantity of production
of asparagus compared to the average of the 3
preceding marketing years. If a determination is
affirmative, producers who produce and market
asparagus in California, Michigan, and
Washington, will be eligible to apply to the
Farm Service Agency for technical assistance at
no cost and cash benefits.
