1701.91.10, 1701.99.10, 1702.90.10, and

raw value) for imports of raw cane sugar
and certain sugars, syrups, and molasses
that may be entered under the
subheadings of the HTS subject to the
lower tier of duties of the TRQs for entry
during the fiscal year beginning October
1, 2009. The Office of the U.S. Trade
Representative (USTR) is responsible for
the allocation of these quantities among
supplying countries and areas.
Section 359(k) of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended
requires that at the beginning of the
quota year the Secretary of Agriculture
establish the TRQ’s for raw can sugar
and refined sugars at the minimum
levels necessary to comply with
obligations under international trade
agreements, with the exception of
specialty sugar.
Notice is hereby given that I have
determined, in accordance with
paragraph (a)(i) of the Additional U.S.
Note 5, Chapter 17 in the HTS and
section 359(k) of the 1938 Act, that an
aggregate quantity of up to 1,117,195
MTRV of raw cane sugar described in
subheading 1701.11.10 of the HTS may
be entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption during FY
2010 (October 1, 2009–September 30,
2010). This is the minimum amount to
which the United States is committed
under the WTO Uruguay Round
Agreements. I have further determined
that an aggregate quantity of 90,039
MTRV of sugars, syrups, and molasses
described in subheadings 1701.12.10,
1701.91.10, 1701.99.10, 1702.90.10, and
2106.90.44 may be entered or
withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption during FY 2010. Of this
quantity of 90,039 MTRV, the quantity
of 69,695 MTRV is reserved for the
importation of specialty sugars as
defined by the USTR. This 90,039
MTRV quantity includes the 22,000
MTRV required WTO minimum amount
of which 1,656 MTRV is reserved for
specialty sugar.
The FY 2010 specialty sugar TRQ will
be opened in five tranches. Because the
specialty sugar TRQ is first-come, firstserved, tranches are needed to allow for
orderly marketing throughout the year.
The first tranche, totaling 1,656 MTRV,
will open October 1, 2009. All specialty
sugars are eligible for entry under this
tranche. The second tranche will open
on November 10, 2009, and be equal to
25,000 MTRV. The remaining tranches
will each be equal to 14,346 MTRV,

with the third opening on January 12,
2010; the fourth, on May 17, 2010; and
the fifth, on August 24, 2010. The
second, third, fourth, and fifth tranches
will be reserved for organic sugar and
other specialty sugars not currently
produced commercially in the United
States or reasonably available from
domestic sources.
Conversion factor: 1 metric ton =
1.10231125 short tons.
Signed at Washington, DC, the 23rd day of

exchange party (or parties). Land
exchanges can be initiated by a nonFederal party (or parties), an agent of a
landowner, a broker, a third party, or a

Each land exchange requires
preparation of an Agreement to Initiate,
as required by Title 36 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), part 254, subpart C,
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including name and address
when provided, will become a matter of
public record. Comments will be
summarized and included in the request
section 254.4—Agreement to Initiate an
Exchange. This document specifies the
preliminary and non-binding intentions

Initiate can contain such information as
the description of properties being
considered in the land exchange, an
implementation schedule of action
items, identification of the party
responsible for each action item, as well
as target dates for completion of each
action item.
As the exchange proposal develops,
the Forest Service and the non-Federal
land exchange party may enter into
binding Exchange Agreement, pursuant
to Title 36 CFR part 254, subpart A,
section 254.14—Exchange Agreement.
The Exchange Agreement documents
the conditions that must be met to
complete the exchange. The Exchange
Agreement can contain information

complete the exchange.
The Forest Service collects the
information from the non-Federal party
(or parties) necessary to complete the
Agreement to Initiate and the Exchange
Agreement. The information is collected
by Forest Service personnel from parties
involved in the exchange via telephone
or in person. Data from this information
collection is unique to each land
exchange and is not available from other
sources. No standardized forms are
associated with this information
collection.
