Adjustment Assistance for Farmers
AGENCY:
Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.
ACTION:
Notice. The Administrator of the Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS) today accepted and
began a review of a petition for trade
adjustment assistance filed under the Fiscal
Year 2011 program by the Maine State Pomological
Society on behalf of apple producers in Maine.
The Administrator will determine within 40 days
whether increasing imports of apples contributed
importantly to a greater than 15-percent
decrease in the average annual price of apples
compared to the average of the three preceding
marketing years. If the determination is
affirmative, producers who produce and market
apples in Maine will be eligible to apply to the
Farm Service Agency for free technical
assistance and cash benefits.
