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 Maine Lobstermen's Association on behalf of U.S. fishermen who catch and market live lobsters ( Homarus americanus ). The Administrator will determine within 40 days whether or not increasing imports of live lobsters ( Homarus americanus ) contributed importantly to a greater than 15 percent decrease in the value of production of lobsters compared to the average of the 3 preceding marketing years. If a determination is affirmative, U.S. fishermen who catch and market live lobsters ( Homarus americanus ) will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for technical assistance at no cost and cash benefits.
