and a reassignment of surplus cane
sugar allotment to imports. The OAQ
was increased due to an increase in
estimated sugar demand since the FY
2011 OAQ was established in August
2010. The beet sugar allotment is now
5,108,900 STRV, and the cane sugar
allotment is 3,366,100 STRV. The FY
2011 cane sector allotment and cane
state allotments after the OAQ increase
were larger than could be fulfilled by
domestically-produced cane sugar; so
the surplus was reassigned to raw sugar
imports, as required by law. Upon
review of the domestic sugarcane
processors’ sugar marketing allocations
relative to their FY 2011 expected raw
sugar supplies, CCC determined that all
sugarcane processors had surplus
allocation. Therefore, all sugarcane
states’ sugar marketing allotments are
reduced with this reassignment. The
new cane state allotments are Florida,
1,464,666 STRV; Louisiana, 1,526,050
STRV; Texas, 147,138 STRV; and
Hawaii, 228,246 STRV. The FY 2011
sugar marketing allotment program will
not prevent any domestic sugarcane
processors from marketing all of their
FY 2011 sugar supply.
On August 5, 2010, USDA established
the FY 2011 TRQ for raw cane sugar at
1,231,497 STRV (1,117,195 metric tons
raw value, MTRV*), the minimum to
which the United States is committed
under the World Trade Organization
(WTO) Uruguay Round Agreements. On
April 11, 2011, USDA announced a
reassignment of surplus sugar under
domestic cane sugar allotments of
325,000 STRV (294,835 MTRV) to
imports, and increased the FY 2011 raw
sugar TRQ by the same amount.
Pursuant to Additional U.S. Note 5 to
Chapter 17 of the U.S. Harmonized
Tariff Schedule (HTS) and Section 359k
of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of
1938, as amended, the Secretary of
Agriculture today further increased the
quantity of raw cane sugar imports of
the HTS subject to the lower tier of
duties during FY 2011 by 120,000 STRV
(108,862 MTRV). With this increase, the
overall FY 2011 raw sugar TRQ is now
1,676,497 STRV (1,520,892 MTRV). Raw
cane sugar under this quota must be
accompanied by a certificate for quota
eligibility and may be entered under
subheading 1701.11.10 of the HTS until
September 30, 2011. The Office of the
U.S. Trade Representative will allocate
this increase among supplying countries
and customs areas.
This action is being taken after a
determination that additional supplies
of raw cane sugar are required in the
U.S. market. USDA will closely monitor
stocks, consumption, imports and all
sugar market and program variables on
