DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Foreign Agricultural Service
Trade Adjustment Assistance
for Farmers
AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today terminated
the certification of a petition for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) that was
filed by the Olive Growers Council, Visalia,
California. California olive producers are no longer eligible for TAA benefits
in fiscal year 2006.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon investigation, the Administrator determined that
U.S. imports of non-green olives (canned black olives) fell by 7 percent.
Therefore, imports were no longer a contributing factor for program
eligibility--a requirement for TAA program eligibility and therefore
insufficient grounds to re-certify this petition.
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: March 6, 2006.
W. Kirk Miller,
Acting Administrator, Foreign Agricultural
Service
