The Administrator of the Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS) has denied a
petition (No. 2011005) for trade
adjustment assistance for wool filed
under the fiscal year (FY) 2011 program
by wool producers from Idaho, Utah,
and Wyoming. The petition was
accepted for review by USDA on July
21, 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 petition 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 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:22 Sep 27, 2010
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
Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming ineligible for
trade adjustment assistance in FY 2011.

The Administrator for the Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS) has denied a
petition (No. 2011014) for trade

filed under the fiscal year (FY) 2011

representatives from USDA’s Office of
the Chief Economist, Farm Service
Agency, Agricultural Marketing Service,
and FAS. After the review, the
Administrator determined that the
petition demonstrated the ‘greater than
15-percent decline’ criterion, because it
showed a 17.1-percent 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 54.2-percent increase, meeting
the ‘increase in imports’ criterion.
However, while the petition was able
to demonstrate that California dried
prunes met the ‘greater than 15-percent
decline’ criterion and the ‘increase in
imports’ criterion, the import data,
along with historical import trends
showed no inverse correlation between
prices and the quantity of imported
dried prunes and prune juice, a
necessary requirement under the
program.
As a result, it was determined that
imports were not an important factor in
determining the average annual price of
California dried prunes in 2009/2010.
Instead, ERS found that changes in
domestic prune production, inventories,
exports, and domestic consumption
were the factors affecting dried prune
grower prices in 2009/2010.
Because the petition was unable to
demonstrate that the decline in average
annual price was importantly caused by
an increase in imports, the
Administrator was not able to certify the
petition, making dried prune producers
in California ineligible for trade
adjustment assistance in FY 2011.
