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 Louisiana Crawfish Farmers Association on behalf of farm-raised crawfish producers in Louisiana. The Administrator will determine within 40 days whether or not increasing imports of crawfish contributed importantly to a greater than 15 percent decrease in the national average price of crawfish compared to the average of the 3 preceding marketing years. If a determination is affirmative, producers who produce and market farm-raised crawfish in Louisiana will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical assistance at no cost and cash benefits.
