SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USDA will hold a public hearing as requested by Louisiana sugarcane processors regarding the application of the Andino Energy Enterprises, L.L.C., (Andino Energy) for a cane sugar marketing allocation for the 2008 crop year. Andino Energy is requesting a 2008crop year allocation of 50,000 short tons, raw value (STRV), and subsequent increases to the allocation of 60,000 STRV for the 2009 crop, 80,000 STRV for the 2010 crop, 100,000 STRV for the 2011 crop, and 120,000 STRV for the 2012 crop. Section 359d(b)(1)(E) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1359dd(b)(1)(E)), as amended, authorizes CCC to provide a sugarcane processor, who begins processing on or after May 13, 2002, an allocation that provides a fair, efficient, and equitable distribution of the allocations from the allotment for the State in which the processor is located. To make an allocation to a processor in Louisiana, a proportionate share State, the Secretary establishes proportionate shares in a quantity sufficient to produce the sugarcane required to satisfy the allocations. CCC must consider the adverse effects on existing cane processors and producers in mainland States when determining whether a new entrant processor allocation is warranted. Also, prior to the cane sugar allotment establishment, Andino Energy must provide satisfactory evidence that it has a viable processing facility, an adequate sugarcane supply, and a market for the cane sugar product. If approved, the new sugarcane allocation will be subtracted, on a pro rata basis, from the allocations otherwise provided to each Louisiana cane processor when the 2008 crop allocations are determined by USDA. CCC will use this hearing to collect comments on (1) any adverse effects that the provisions of an allocation to Andino Energy may have on existing cane processors and producers and (2) the evidence CCC should require from a new entrant to demonstrate the ability VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:46 Jun 03, 2008 Jkt 214001 to process, produce, and market raw cane sugar. Attendance is open to all interested parties.

L. 110–234, enacted on May 22, 2008. There are no current regulations that specify a particular amount of advance notice for the hearing.
