SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
As part of the domestic sugar
program, for sugar marketed for human
consumption in the United States, CCC
is required to make determinations
establishing, adjusting, or suspending
sugar marketing allotments. The
Secretary is required to establish, by the
beginning of each crop year, an
appropriate allotment for the marketing
by processors of sugar processed from
sugar beets and from domestically
produced cane sugar at a level the
Secretary estimates will result in no
forfeitures of sugar to the CCC under the
loan program 1 (7 U.S.C. 1359bb(a)(1)).
The Secretary is also required to publish
the determinations in the Federal
Register along with the reasons for the
determinations (7 U.S.C. 1359hh).
CCC announced the Final FY 2007
and initial FY 2008 allotments and
allocations in a September 27, 2007,
news release. This notice provides the
final allotments and allocations for FY
2007 and the initial allotments and
allocations for FY 2008.
Final FY 2007 State Allotments and
Company Allocations
The Secretary is required to reassign
the remainder of the allocation to
imports if the Secretary determines that
processors will be unable to market
their allocations after other
reassignments and sales from CCC
inventory have occurred (7 U.S.C.
1359ee(b)(1)(D)). In a July 31, 2007,
news release, CCC announced the
determination of a FY 2007 domestic
cane sugar supply shortfall of 79,000
STRV and reassigned this deficit to
imports. State allotments and company
allocations were adjusted downward to
reflect the ability of each company and
each state to market its allocation and
allotment.
The final 2006-crop (FY 2007) beet
sugar and cane sugar marketing
allotments are listed in the following

Initial FY 2008 State Allotments and
Company Allocations
When CCC announced an 8.450
million ton STRV OAQ in an August 10,
2007, news release, it distributed 54.35
percent of the FY 2008 OAQ (4,592,575
STRV) to the beet sugar allotment. At
that time, however, CCC determined
that the cane sugar sector would be
unable to fill 70,000 STRV of its
allotment and withheld this amount for
reassignment to imports. Consequently,
of the 45.65 percent of the OAQ
statutorily allotted to the cane sugar
sector (3,857,425 STRV), only 3,787,425
STRV was allotted to cane sugar states
for allocation to sugarcane processors.
Cane sugar state allotments and
processor allocations were announced
by CCC in a September 27, 2007 news
release.
Reasons for the Determinations for the
Initial FY 2008 Allotments and
Allocations
To establish sugar beet processor
allocations, CCC applies the sugar beet
sector’s allotment to fixed company
allocation shares. Likewise, cane sugar
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:32 Jan 07, 2008
Jkt 214001
state and cane sugar processor
allocations are calculated by applying
fixed shares to the cane sugar allotment.
Allocation shares will change only if
CCC determines that a processor cannot
fulfill its sugar allocation and reassigns
the unused allocation to other
processors or if a grower successfully
transfers allocation commensurate with
his production history to another
processor.
CCC determined that South Louisiana
Sugars Cooperative, Inc., a Louisiana
sugarcane processor, was closed and
accepted grower petitions to transfer
allocation elsewhere. Permanent
allocation transfers in Louisiana could
not be made by the September 30, 2007,
announcement deadline for FY 2008
allocations, but will be forthcoming.
CCC is required to limit the amount
of sugarcane acreage that may be
harvested in Louisiana for sugar or seed
whenever marketing allotments are in
effect and the quantity of sugarcane
estimated to be produced in Louisiana,
plus a reasonable carryover, exceeds the
marketing allotment allocation for
Louisiana. This limitation is referred to
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Final FY 2007
allotments or
allocations
as a ‘‘proportionate share,’’ and is
applied to each farm’s sugarcane acreage
base to determine the quantity of
sugarcane that may be harvested on that
farm. Because production is expected to
be inadequate to fill Louisiana’s FY
2008 allotment, CCC determined that
there will be no proportionate share
restrictions for the 2007 crop year.
In FY 2004, CCC determined that
Puerto Rico’s processors permanently
terminated operations because no sugar
had been processed for two complete
years. Since Puerto Rico is entitled to an
allocation by law, its allocation of 6,356
STRV is reassigned to the mainland
cane sugar-producing states. Hawaii did
not receive any of Puerto Rico’s
reassignment because it is not expected
to use all of its current cane sugar
allotment. A request for an allocation as
a new entrant will be required for any
mills in Puerto Rico to market cane
sugar in the future.
The established 2007-crop (FY 2008)
sugar beet and cane sugar marketing
allotments are listed in the following

Initial FY 2008 State Allotments and Company Allocations
When CCC announced an 8.450 million ton STRV OAQ in an August 10,
2007, news release, it distributed 54.35 percent of the FY 2008 OAQ
(4,592,575 STRV) to the beet sugar allotment. At that time, however,
CCC determined that the cane sugar sector would be unable to fill
70,000 STRV of its allotment and withheld this amount for reassignment
to imports. Consequently, of the 45.65 percent of the OAQ statutorily
allotted to the cane sugar sector (3,857,425 STRV), only 3,787,425 STRV
was allotted to cane sugar states for allocation to sugarcane
processors. Cane sugar state allotments and processor allocations were
announced by CCC in a September 27, 2007 news release.
Reasons for the Determinations for the Initial FY 2008 Allotments and
Allocations
To establish sugar beet processor allocations, CCC applies the
sugar beet sector's allotment to fixed company allocation shares.
Likewise, cane sugar state and cane sugar processor allocations are
calculated by applying fixed shares to the cane sugar allotment.
Allocation shares will change only if CCC determines that a processor
cannot fulfill its sugar allocation and reassigns the unused allocation
to other processors or if a grower successfully transfers allocation
commensurate with his production history to another processor.
CCC determined that South Louisiana Sugars Cooperative, Inc., a
Louisiana sugarcane processor, was closed and accepted grower petitions
to transfer allocation elsewhere. Permanent allocation transfers in
Louisiana could not be made by the September 30, 2007, announcement
deadline for FY 2008 allocations, but will be forthcoming.
CCC is required to limit the amount of sugarcane acreage that may
be harvested in Louisiana for sugar or seed whenever marketing
allotments are in effect and the quantity of sugarcane estimated to be
produced in Louisiana, plus a reasonable carryover, exceeds the
marketing allotment allocation for Louisiana. This limitation is
referred to as a ``proportionate share,'' and is applied to each farm's
sugarcane acreage base to determine the quantity of sugarcane that may
be harvested on that farm. Because production is expected to be
inadequate to fill Louisiana's FY 2008 allotment, CCC determined that
there will be no proportionate share restrictions for the 2007 crop
year.
In FY 2004, CCC determined that Puerto Rico's processors
permanently terminated operations because no sugar had been processed
for two complete years. Since Puerto Rico is entitled to an allocation
by law, its allocation of 6,356 STRV is reassigned to the mainland cane
sugar-producing states. Hawaii did not receive any of Puerto Rico's
reassignment because it is not expected to use all of its current cane
sugar allotment. A request for an allocation as a new entrant will be
required for any mills in Puerto Rico to market cane sugar in the
future.
The established 2007-crop (FY 2008) sugar beet and cane sugar
marketing allotments are listed in the following table:
