Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers
AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural
Service (FAS), today accepted a petition, and
began a review of a petition, for trade
adjustment assistance by the Maine Lobstermen's
Association on behalf of U.S. fishermen who
catch and market live lobsters (Homarus
americanus). The Administrator will determine
within 40 days whether or not increasing imports
of live lobsters (Homarus americanus)
contributed importantly to a greater than 15
percent decrease in the
value of production of lobsters compared to the
average of the 3 preceding marketing years. If a
determination is affirmative, U.S. fishermen who
catch and market live lobsters (Homarus
americanus) will be eligible to apply to the
Farm Service Agency for technical assistance at
no cost and cash benefits.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Trade
Adjustment Assistance Staff, FAS, USDA, at (202)

tradeadjustment@fas.usda.gov. Additional
program information can be
obtained at the Web site for the Trade
Adjustment Assistance for Farmers program.
