E7-1573. Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY:

Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION:

Notice.

The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today terminated the certification of a petition for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) that was filed by a group of Indiana fresh cut snapdragon producers. Indiana fresh cut snapdragon producers are no longer eligible for TAA benefits in fiscal year 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Upon investigation, the Administrator determined that U.S. producer prices for Indiana fresh cut snapdragon were 13 percent higher than the base five-year average price. Therefore, producer prices were no longer a contributing factor for program eligibility—a requirement for TAA program eligibility and therefore insufficient grounds to re-certify this petition.
