Trade Adjustment Assistance for 

Farmers 

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

The Administrator of the Foreign 

Agricultural Service (FAS) today 

accepted and began a review of a 

petition for trade adjustment assistance 

filed under the Fiscal Year 2011 

program by the Prune Bargaining 

Association on behalf of prune and 

dried plum producers in California. The 

Administrator will determine within 40 

days whether increasing imports of 

prunes and dried plums contributed 

importantly to a greater than 15-percent 

decrease in the average annual price of 

prunes and dried plums compared to 

the average of the three preceding 

marketing years. If the determination is 

affirmative, producers who produce and 

market prunes and dried plums in 

California will be eligible to apply to the 

Farm Service Agency for free technical 

assistance and cash benefits.
