Section
702 of the Trade Agreements Act of
1979 (as amended) (the Act) requires the
Department of Commerce (the

consultation with the Secretary of

government is providing a subsidy with
respect to any article of cheese subject
to an in-quota rate of duty, as defined
in section 702(h) of the Act, and to
publish quarterly updates to the type
and amount of those subsidies. We
hereby provide the Department’s
quarterly update of subsidies on articles
of cheese that were imported during the
periods October 1, 2013, through

The Department has developed, in
consultation with the Secretary of

as defined in section 702(h) of the Act,
being provided either directly or
indirectly by foreign governments on
articles of cheese subject to an in-quota
rate of duty. The appendix to this notice
lists the country, the subsidy program or
programs, and the gross and net
amounts of each subsidy for which
information is currently available. The
Department will incorporate additional
programs which are found to constitute
subsidies, and additional information
on the subsidy programs listed, as the
information is developed.
The Department encourages any
person having information on foreign
government subsidy programs which
benefit articles of cheese subject to an
in-quota rate of duty to submit such
information in writing to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution
Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20230.
This determination and notice are in
accordance with section 702(a) of the
Act.
