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 submitted by the Southern
Shrimp Alliance on
behalf of shrimpers in Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, and Texas. The Administrator
will determine within 40 days whether or not
increasing
imports of shrimp contributed importantly to a
greater than 15 percent decrease in the quantity
of production of shrimp compared to the average
of the 3 preceding marketing years. If a
determination is affirmative, shrimpers who land
and market shrimp in Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, and Texas, will be eligible to
apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical
assistance at no cost and cash benefits.
