Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers
AGENCY:
Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.
ACTION:
Notice.
The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), terminated the certification of a petition for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) on December 12, 2006, that was filed by a group of Florida avocado producers. Florida avocado producers are no longer eligible for TAA benefits in fiscal year 2007.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Upon investigation, the Administrator determined that U.S. producer prices for fresh Florida avocados were 39 percent higher than the base five-year average price. Therefore, producer prices were no longer a contributing factor for program eligibility-a requirement for TAA program eligibility and therefore insufficient grounds to re-certify this petition.

Acting, Administrator Foreign Agricultural Service.
