Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers
This proposed rule would implement Chapter 6 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended by Subtitle C of Title 1 of the Trade Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-210) to establish a new program, Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers. Under this program, the Department of Agriculture would provide technical assistance and cash benefits to eligible producers of raw agricultural commodities when the Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) determines that increased imports have contributed importantly to a specific price decline over five preceding marketing years. The proposed rule would establish the procedure by which producers of raw agricultural commodities can petition for certification of eligibility and apply for technical assistance and adjustment payments.
