Title: Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota
Licensing Program.
OMB Control Number: 0551–0001.
Summary of Collection: The Dairy
Tariff-Rate Import Quota regulation (the
Regulation) (7 CFR part 6) governs the
administration of the import licensing
system applicable to most dairy
products subject to tariff-rate quotas
(TRQs). The TRQs were established in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States as a result of certain
provisions in the Uruguay Round
Agreement Act (Pub. L. 103–465) that
converted existing absolute quotas to
TRQs. Imports of nearly all cheese made
from cow’s milk (except soft-ripened
cheese such as Brie) and certain noncheese dairy products (including butter
and dried milk) are subject to TRQs and
the Regulation. Licenses are issued each
quota year to eligible applicants and are
valid for 12 months (January 1 through
December 31). Importers without
licenses may enter dairy articles only at
the over-quota tariff-rates. The Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS) will collect
information using several forms.
Need and Use of the Information: FAS
will use the information to assure that
the intent of the legislation is correctly
administered and to determine
eligibility to obtain benefits under the
Regulation. If the information were
collected less frequently, FSA would be
unable to issue licenses on an annual
basis in compliance with the
Regulation.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other-for-profit; Individuals or
households.
Number of Respondents: 700.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping, Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 459.
