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 National Asparagus Council on behalf of asparagus producers in California, Michigan, and Washington. The

Administrator will determine within 40 days whether or not increasing imports of asparagus contributed importantly to a greater than 15 percent decrease in the quantity of production of asparagus compared to the average of the 3 preceding marketing years. If a determination is affirmative, producers who produce and market asparagus in California,

Michigan, and Washington, will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service

Agency for technical assistance at no cost and cash benefits.
