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 Maine
Lobstermen's Association on behalf of American
lobster (Homarus americanus) fishermen who catch
and market their lobster in Maine. 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 production value
of lobster compared to the average of the three
preceding marketing years. If the determination
is affirmative, fishermen who land and market
American lobster in Maine will be eligible to
apply to the Farm Service Agency for free
technical assistance and cash benefits.
