Adjustment Assistance for Farmers
AGENCY:
Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.
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 University of
Rhode Island on behalf of American lobster (Homarus
americanus) fishermen who catch and market their
lobster in Rhode Island. The Administrator will
determine within 40 days whether or not
increasing imports of American lobster
contributed importantly to a greater than
15-percent decrease in the production value of
lobster compared to the average of the three
preceding marketing years. If a determination is
affirmative, fishermen who land and market
American lobster in Rhode Island will be
eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for
free
technical assistance and cash benefits.
