Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today 
accepted a petition filed by a group of freshwater prawn producers from 
Kentucky for trade adjustment assistance. The Administrator will 
determine within 40 days whether or not imports of farmed shrimp 
contributed importantly to a decline in domestic producer prices by 
more than 20 percent during the marketing period beginning January 2002 
and ending December 2002. If the determination is positive, all 
Kentucky freshwater prawn producers will be eligible to apply to the 
Farm Service Agency for technical assistance at no cost and adjustment 
assistance.
