Title: ●Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops (TASC) Program
Abstract: The TASC program provides funds to eligible organizations, on a grant basis, to implement activities that are intended to address sanitary, phytosanitary, and technical barriers that prohibit or threaten the export of U.S. specialty crops that are available on a commercial basis. The current regulations will incorporate proposed changes to improve stakeholder effectiveness and the internal administration of the program. The changes increase the amount of funding that a participant can request in a given year; remove the prohibition that limits proposals to 3 years; and remove the prohibition limiting participants to no more than three approved projects underway at any given time.
