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 Southern
Shrimp Alliance on behalf of shrimp producers in
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Texas. The Administrator will determine within
40 days whether or not increasing imports of
shrimp contributed importantly to a greater than
15-percent
decrease in the production quantity of shrimp
compared to the average of the 3 preceding
marketing years. If the determination is
affirmative, shrimpers who land and market
shrimp in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Texas will be eligible to apply to the Farm
Service Agency for free technical assistance and
cash benefits.
