Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 28, 2010 / Notices
by the Kansas Sheep Association. The
petition was accepted for review by
USDA on July 26, 2010.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
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.
