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 Gollott's Oil Dock and Icehouse, Inc.,
Biloxi, Mississippi, for trade adjustment assistance. Gollott's
represents Mississippi shrimpers. The Administrator will determine within 40
days whether or not imports of shrimp 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 shrimp producers in Mississippi will be eligible to apply to the
Farm Service Agency for technical assistance at no cost and for adjustment
assistance payments.

Adjustment Assistance for Farmers, FAS, USDA, (202) 720-2916, e-mail:
