    ACTION:

    Notice.

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today terminated the certification of petitions for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) that was filed by the National Grape Cooperative Association representing Michigan and Washington Concord juice grape producers.

    End Preamble Start Supplemental Information

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Upon investigation, the Administrator determined that U.S. imports of grape juice fell by 10.1 million liters between 2005 and 2006, a decline of 4 percent. Therefore, imports were no longer a contributing factor for program eligibility. An increase in imports is required for re-certifying a petition for TAA.
