Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers
AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA
ACTION: Notice
The Administrator, Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS), today
accepted a petition filed by the Olive Growers Council, Visalia,
California 93291, for trade adjustment assistance for olive producers
in the state of California. The Administrator will determine within 40
days whether or not increasing imports of processed olives in a saline
solution contributed importantly to a decline in domestic producer
prices of 20 percent or more during the marketing period beginning
August 2003 and ending July 2004. If the determination is positive, all
producers who market their olives in California will be eligible to
apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical assistance at no
cost
and for adjustment assistance payments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean-Louis Pajot, Coordinator, Trade
Adjustment Assistance for Farmers, FAS, USDA, (202) 720-2916, e-mail:
trade.adjustment@fas.usda.gov.
Dated: January 6, 2005.
A. Ellen Terpstra,
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural
Service.
