SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Foreign Agricultural Service, under a
delegation of authority from the Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign
Agricultural Affairs, administers the Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota
Licensing Regulation codified at 7 CFR 6.20-6.36 that provides for the
issuance of licenses to import certain dairy articles under tariff-rate
quotas (TRQs) as set forth in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) of
the United States. These dairy articles may only be entered into the
United States at the low-tier tariff by or for the account of a person
or firm to whom such licenses have been issued and only in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the regulation.
Licenses are issued on a calendar year basis, and each license
authorizes the
[[Page 53442]]
license holder to import a specified quantity and type of dairy article
from a specified country of origin. The Imports Program, Foreign
Agricultural Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, issues these
licenses and, in conjunction with U.S. Customs and Border Protection,
U.S. Department of Homeland Security, monitors their use.
The regulation at 7 CFR 6.34(a) states that whenever a historical
license (Appendix 1) is permanently surrendered, revoked by the
Licensing Authority, or not issued to an applicant pursuant to the
provisions of Sec. 6.23, then the amount of such license will be
transferred to Appendix 2. Section 6.34(b) provides that the cumulative
annual transfers will be published by notice in the Federal Register.
Accordingly, this document sets forth the revised Appendices in the
table below. Although there are no changes to the quantities for
designated licenses (Appendix 3 and Appendix 4), those numbers are also
included in the table below for completeness.
Aileen Mannix,
Acting Licensing Authority, Foreign Agricultural Service.
