#  Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

**AGENCY:**

Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

**ACTION:**

Notice.

The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), denied a petition for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) for seed potatoes that was filed on January 13, 2005, by the Spokane Hutterian Brethren, Reardan, Washington.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

Upon investigation, the Administrator determined that imports for the February-May 2004 marketing year declined by 20 percent from the same period in 2003. Since imports declined during the marketing year, the petition did not meet the increasing imports requirement, a condition required for certifying a petition for TAA.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Jean-Louis Pajot, Coordinator, Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers, FAS, USDA, (202) 720-2916, e-mail: *[email protected].*

Dated: February 16, 2005.

A. Ellen Terpstra,

Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
