Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers
AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural
Service (FAS), today accepted a petition filed
by National Grape Cooperative Association
representing New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio
Concord juice grape producers for trade
adjustment assistance. The Administrator will
determine within 40 days whether or not
increasing imports of grape juice, not
concentrated, contributed importantly to a
decline in domestic producer prices of 20
percent or more during the marketing period
beginning August 1, 2005, and ending July 31,
2006. If the determination is positive, all
Concord juice grape producers who produce and
market their Concord juice grapes in New York,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio will be eligible to apply
to the Farm Service Agency for no cost technical
assistance and for adjustment assistance
payments.
