Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 251 / Friday, December 30, 2011 / Notices
ACTION:
Notice of determination.
Section 423(c) of the Tax
Reform Act of 1986, as amended (19
U.S.C. 2703 note), requires the United
States International Trade Commission
to determine annually the amount
(expressed in gallons) that is equal to 7
percent of the U.S. domestic market for
fuel ethyl alcohol during the 12-month
period ending on the preceding
September 30. This determination is to
be used to establish the ‘‘base quantity’’
of imports of fuel ethyl alcohol with a
zero percent local feedstock requirement
that can be imported from U.S. insular
possessions or CBERA-beneficiary
countries. The base quantity to be used
by U.S. Customs and Border Protection
in the administration of the law is the
greater of 60 million gallons or 7 percent
of U.S. consumption, as determined by
the Commission.
For the 12-month period ending
September 30, 2011, the Commission
has determined the level of U.S.
consumption of fuel ethyl alcohol to be
12.955 billion gallons; 7 percent of this
amount is 906.9 million gallons (these
figures have been rounded). Therefore,
the base quantity for 2012 should be
906.9 million gallons. The
Commission’s determination is based on
official data of the U.S. Department of
Energy.
ADDRESSES: All Commission offices,
including the Commission’s hearing
rooms, are located in the United States
International Trade Commission
Building, 500 E Street SW., Washington,
DC. All written submissions should be
