Correction
In the Federal Register of March 4, 2005, in FR Doc. 05-4164,
on page 10591, in the third column, correct the notice to read:
The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS),
approved a petition for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) that was filed on
February 1, 2005, by Gollott's Oil Dock and Icehouse, Inc., Biloxi, Mississippi.
The certification date is March 14, 2005. Beginning on this date, shrimpers who
land their catch in Mississippi will be eligible to apply for fiscal year 2005
benefits during an application period ending June 13, 2005.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon
investigation, the Administrator determined that increased imports of farmed
shrimp contributed importantly to a decline in the landed prices of shrimp in
Mississippi by 30.4 percent during January 2003 through December 2003, when
compared with the previous 5-year average.
Eligible producers must apply to the Farm Service Agency for
benefits. After submitting completed applications, producers shall receive
technical assistance provided by the Extension Service at no
cost and may receive an adjustment assistance payment, if certain program
criteria are satisfied. Applicants must obtain the technical assistance from the
Extension Service by September 12, 2005, in order to be eligible for financial
payments.
Producers of raw agricultural commodities wishing to learn
more about TAA and how they may apply should contact the Department of
Agriculture at the addresses provided below for General Information.
Producers Certified as Eligible for TAA, Contact: Farm
Service Agency service centers in Mississippi.
