Foreign Agricultural Service 

Trade Adjustment Assistance for 

Farmers 

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

The Administrator of the Foreign 

Agricultural Service (FAS), denied a 

petition (No. 2011019) for trade 

adjustment assistance (TAA) for Tilapia 

filed under the fiscal year (FY) 2011 

program by three producers on behalf of 

Tilapia producers in Arkansas. The 

petition was accepted for review by 

USDA on August 24, 2010.

62760 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 13, 2010 / Notices 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To qualify 

under the program, Subtitle C of Title I 

of the Trade Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107– 

210) states that petitions must 

demonstrate, using data for the most 

recent, full marketing year or full 

official marketing season, a greater than 

15-percent decline in at least one of the 

following factors: national average price, 

quantity of production, value of 

production, or cash receipts. 

According to the statute, it is also 

necessary for the petitions to 

demonstrate that an increase in imports 

of like or directly competitive articles, 

during the same marketing period, 

contributed importantly to the decrease 

in one of the above factors for the 

agricultural commodity. 

All petitions were analyzed by 

USDA’s Economic Research Service and 

reviewed by the TAA for Farmers 

Program Review Committee, comprised 

of representatives from USDA’s Office of 

the Chief Economist, Farm Service 

Agency, Agricultural Marketing Service, 

and FAS. After a review, the 

Administrator determined that the 

petition was unable to demonstrate the 

‘‘greater than 15-percent decline’’ 

criterion, because it showed a 4.2- 

percent increase in the average annual 

price for 2009, when compared to the 

previous 3-year period. Additionally, 

the import data provided for the same 

time period showed a 15.7-percent 

decrease, instead of the required 

increase, under the program. 

Because the petition was unable to 

meet the ‘‘greater than 15-percent 

decline’’ criterion and the ‘‘increase in 

imports’’ criterion, the Administrator 

was not able to certify the petition, 

making Tilapia producers in Arkansas 

ineligible for trade adjustment 

assistance in FY 2011.

Trade Adjustment Assistance for 

Farmers 

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

The Administrator, Foreign 

Agricultural Service (FAS), certified a 

petition (No. 2011015) for trade 

adjustment assistance (TAA) for 

blueberries filed under the fiscal year 

(FY) 2011 program by the Wild 

Blueberry Commission of Maine, on 

behalf of blueberry producers in Maine. 

The petition was accepted for review by 

USDA on August 13, 2010. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All 

petitions were analyzed by USDA’s 

Economic Research Service and 

reviewed by the TAA for Farmers 

Program Review Committee, comprised 

of representatives from USDA’s Office of 

the Chief Economist, Farm Service 

Agency, Agricultural Marketing Service, 

and FAS. After a review, the 

Administrator determined that 

increased imports of blueberries during 

January-December 2009 contributed 

importantly to a greater than 15-percent 

decline in the average annual price in 

2009, compared to the previous 3-year 

average. This conforms to the eligibility 

requirements stipulated in Subtitle C of 

Title I of the Trade Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 

107–210). 

Because the petition met the 

program’s eligibility criteria, the 

Administrator was able to certify it, 

making blueberry producers in Maine 

eligible for trade adjustment assistance 

in FY 2011. 

Eligible individual blueberry 

producers in Maine may apply for 

technical training and cash benefits by 

completing and submitting a written 

application to their local Farm Service 

Agency county office by the application 

deadline of December 29, 2010. After 

submitting a completed application, 

producers may receive technical 

assistance at no cost and cash benefits, 

if the applicable program eligibility 

requirements are satisfied. Applicants 

must complete the technical assistance 

training under the program in order to 

be eligible for cash benefits.
