#  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 fresh potatoes that was filed on March 6, 2006, by the Washington State Potato Commission.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

Upon investigation, the Administrator determined that imports did not contribute importantly to a decline in producer prices. During the 2004/2005 marketing year, imports declined by 5.1 percent. Therefore the Washington fresh potato petition did not meet the criteria that imports contributed importantly in a decline in producer prices, 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: March 17, 2006.

Michael W. Yost,

Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
