SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Sugar Imported for Export as Refined Sugar or as Sugar-
Containing Products or used in the Production of Certain Polyhydric
Alcohols.
OMB Number: 0551-0015.
Expiration Date of Approval: September 30, 2025.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: As provided in 7 CFR part 1530, the Refined Sugar Re-
Export Program, the Sugar-Containing Products Re-Export Program, and
the Polyhydric Alcohol Program Sugar Re-Export Program, collectively
referred to as the ``Sugar Re-Export Program,'' permit entry of raw
cane sugar, unrestricted by the quantitative limit established by the
sugar tariff-rate quota, for re-export in refined form or in sugar
containing products or for production of certain polyhydric alcohols.
As many as 200 licensees are currently eligible to participate in these
programs. In early 2023, the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) intends
to launch a new data reporting system called Sugar Unified
Certification Review, Oversight, Statistics, and Evaluation (SUCROSE)
for the Sugar Re-Export Program, which will lead to a slight increase
in reporting burden for licensees compared to the current Sugars Users
Group Accounting and Reporting System (SUGARS).
Estimate of Burden: The public reporting burden for each respondent
resulting from information collection under the Sugar Re-Export Program
varies in direct relation to the number and type of agreements entered
into by such respondent. The estimated average reporting burden for the
Sugar Re-Export Program is 0.50 hours per response. Under 7 CFR part
1530, the information collected is used by the licensing authority to
manage, plan, evaluate, and account for program activities. The reports
and records are required to ensure the proper operations of these
programs.
Respondents: Sugar refiners, manufacturers of sugar containing
products, and producers of polyhydric alcohol.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 325.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 8.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 720 hours.
