ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

States Trade Representative (USTR) is
providing notice of the country-bycountry reallocations of the FY 05 inquota quantity increase of the tariff-rate
quotas for imported raw cane sugar.
DATES: Effective Date: September 2,
2005.
ADDRESSES: Inquiries may be mailed or

Affairs, 202–395–6127.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to Additional U.S. Note 5 to chapter 17
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), the United
States maintains tariff-rate quotas for
imports of raw cane and refined sugar.
Section 404(d)(3) of the Uruguay
Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C.
3601(d)(3)) authorizes the President to
allocate the in-quota quantity of a tariffrate quota for any agricultural product
among supplying countries or customs
areas. The President delegated this
authority to the United States Trade
Representative under Presidential
Proclamation 6763 (60 FR 1007).
The in-quota quantity increase of the
tariff-rate quota for raw cane sugar for
the remainder of FY 05 (ending
September 30, 2005) has been
established by the Secretary of
Agriculture at 76,609 metric tons, raw
value (84,447 short tons). In addition, I
have determined to reallocate 53,409
metric tons from countries that have
stated they will be unable to fill the FY
2005 quota. The total quantity of
130,018 metric tons raw value is being
allocated to the following countries:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority To Grant Exemptions
Section 4007 of the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century (Pub. L.
105–178, 112 Stat. 107, June 9, 1998)
amended 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e)
to provide FMCSA with authority to
grant exemptions from its safety
regulations. On December 8, 1998, the
Federal Highway Administration’s
Office of Motor Carriers, the predecessor
to FMCSA, published an interim final
rule implementing section 4007 (63 FR
67600). On August 20, 2004, FMCSA
published a Final Rule (69 FR 51589) on
this subject. By this rule, FMCSA must
publish a notice of each exemption
request in the Federal Register (49 CFR
part 381).
The agency must provide the public
with an opportunity to inspect the
information relevant to the application,
including any safety analyses that have
been conducted. The agency must also
PO 00000
Frm 00105
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
52465
provide an opportunity for public
comment on the request.
The agency must then examine the
safety analyses and the public
comments, and determine whether the
exemption would achieve a level of
safety equivalent to, or greater than, the
level that would be achieved by
complying with the current regulation
(49 CFR 381.305). The Agency’s
decision must be published in the
Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(b)). If
the agency denies the request, it must
state the reason for doing so. If the
decision is to grant the exemption, the
notice must specify the person or class
of persons receiving the exemption, and
the regulatory provision or provisions
from which an exemption is being
granted. The notice must also specify
the effective period of the exemption
(up to two years), and explain the terms
and conditions of the exemption. The
exemption may be renewed (49 CFR
381.300(b)).
Establishment of FMCSA’s Diabetes
Exemption Program
FMCSA published a notice of intent
to issue exemptions to drivers with
ITDM on July 31, 2001 (66 FR 39548).
On September 3, 2003, the agency
published a notice of final disposition
announcing its decision to issue
exemptions to certain insulin-using
diabetic drivers of CMVs from the
diabetes mellitus prohibition under 49
CFR 391.41(b)(3). [68 FR 5241] The
notice of final disposition explained
that in considering exemptions, FMCSA
must ensure that the issuance of
diabetes exemptions will not be
contrary to the public interest and that
the exemption achieves an acceptable
level of safety. The agency indicated it
will only grant exemptions to insulinusing diabetic drivers that meet the
eligibility criteria provided in its notice
of final disposition.
Because FMCSA established
eligibility criteria for use in determining
whether the granting of a diabetes
exemption would achieve the requisite
level of safety, the agency only
publishes for public comment, the
names of exemption applicants that
satisfy the eligibility requirements,
based upon the information provided by
the applicant. Applicants that do not
meet the requirements are notified by
letter that their applications are denied
and the agency periodically publishes
the names of those individuals to satisfy
the statutory requirement for disclosing
such information to the public.
On May 5, 2005, FMCSA published a
notice of receipt of diabetes exemption
applications from five individuals, and
requested comments from the public (70
