Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 136 / Friday, July 16, 2010 / Notices
ACTION:
Notice.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
The Administrator of the Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS) denied a
petition (No. 2010010) for trade
adjustment assistance (TAA) for fresh
blue crabs that was filed by a group of
Georgia fresh blue crab producers and
accepted for review by USDA on May 3,
2010.
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 petition to
demonstrate that an increase in imports
of articles like or directly competitive,
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
Review Committee, comprised of
representatives from USDA’s Office of
the Chief Economist, Farm Service
Agency, Agricultural Marketing Service,
and Foreign Agricultural Service. After
a review, the Administrator determined
that the quantity of fresh and frozen
blue crab imports declined by 8.5
percent during 2009, compared to the
previous 3-year average. In order to
qualify, recent marketing period imports
must be higher than the average of the
previous 3 years. Because the petition
was unable to meet the regulatory
requirement for increased imports, it
did not qualify for certification for
Fiscal Year (FY) 2010.

ACTION: Notice.
The Administrator of the Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS) has certified
a petition (No. 2010003) for trade
adjustment assistance (TAA) for
asparagus that was filed by the National
Asparagus Council and accepted for
review by USDA on May 3, 2010.
Individual producers, nationwide, will
be eligible to apply for Fiscal Year (FY)
2010 benefits during an application
period ending September 23, 2010.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All
petitions were analyzed by USDA’s
Economic Research Service and
reviewed by the TAA for Farmers
Review Committee, comprised of
representatives from USDA’s Office of
the Chief Economist, Farm Service
Agency, Agricultural Marketing Service,
and Foreign Agricultural Service. Upon
a review, the Administrator determined
that increased imports of asparagus
during January-December 2009
contributed importantly to a greater
than 15-percent decline in the quantity
of production 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).

The Administrator of the Foreign

petition (No. 2010011) for trade
adjustment assistance (TAA) for
cranberries that was filed by a group of
New Jersey cranberry producers and
accepted for review by USDA on May 3,
2010.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To qualify

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

reviewed by the TAA for Farmers
Review Committee, comprised of
representatives from USDA’s Office of

a review, the Administrator determined
that New Jersey cranberry prices for the
official USDA marketing year were
higher in 2009/2010 than the previous
3-year average. For this reason, it does
not meet the regulatory requirements for
certification for Fiscal Year (FY) 2010.
