DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Foreign Agricultural Service
Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers
AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice
The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS),
denied a petition for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) for avocados that was
filed on March 8, 2005, by a group of Florida avocado producers.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon investigation, the Administrator
determined that the price series in the petition was based on a January-December
marketing year. The recognized avocado marketing year by the National
Agricultural Statistics Service begins June 1 and ends February 28. In addition,
the price series in the petition could not be evaluated since it did not reflect
the entire 2004 season and was not valid for the entire state of Florida. Based
on these two factors, the petition was not certified.
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: April 05, 2005
Kenneth J. Roberts,
Acting Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
