SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Dairy Tariff-Rate Quota Import Licensing
Regulation promulgated by the Department of Agriculture and codified at
7 CFR 6.20-6.36 provides for the issuance of licenses to import certain
dairy articles that are subject to TRQs set forth in the HTS. Those
dairy articles may only be entered into the United States at the in-
quota TRQ tariff-rates 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 license holder to import a specified quantity and type
of dairy article from a specified country of origin. The use of such
licenses is monitored by the Import Program within the Foreign
Agricultural Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and U.S. Customs
and Border Protection, U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The regulation at 7 CFR 6.33(a) provides that a fee will be charged
for each license issued to a person or firm by the Licensing Authority
to defray the Department of Agriculture's costs of administering the
licensing system under this regulation.
The regulation at 7 CFR 6.33(a) also provides that the Licensing
Authority will announce the annual fee for each license and that such
fee will be set out in a notice to be published in the Federal
Register. Accordingly, this notice sets out the fee for the licenses to
be issued for the 2025 calendar year.
The total cost to the Department of Agriculture of administering
the licensing system for 2025 has been estimated to be $551,234.00 and
the estimated number of licenses expected to be issued is 1,696. Of the
total cost, $348,584.00 represents staff and supervisory costs directly
related to administering the licensing system, and $202,234.00
represents other miscellaneous costs, including travel, publications,
and Automatic Data Processing (ADP) system support.
Accordingly, notice is hereby given that the fee for each license
issued to a person or firm for the 2025 calendar year, in accordance
with 7 CFR 6.33, will be $325 per license.
Daniel R. Williams II,
Acting Deputy Administrator.
