After a review, the Administrator determined that the petition was unable to demonstrate the ‘greater than 15-percent decline’ criterion, because it showed only a 12.5percent decline in the average annual price for 2009/2010, when compared to the previous 3-year period. Additionally, the import data provided for the same time period showed a 6.1percent 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 coffee producers in Puerto Rico ineligible for trade adjustment assistance in FY 2011.

petition (No. 2011021) for trade adjustment assistance for wool filed 
under the fiscal year (FY) 2011 program

[[Page 59685]]

by the Kansas Sheep Association. The petition was accepted for review 
by USDA on July 26, 2010.

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 Trade Adjustment Assistance (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 demonstrated the `greater than 15-percent decline' criterion, 
because it showed a 15.9-percent decline in the value of wool 
production for 2009, when compared to the previous 3-year period. 
However, the import data provided for the same time period showed a 
37.2-percent decrease, instead of the required increase, under the 
program.
    Because the petition was unable to meet the `increase in imports' 
criterion, the Administrator was not able to certify the petition, 
making wool producers in Kansas ineligible for trade adjustment 
assistance in FY 2011.
