SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June
15, 2015, USDA announced the
establishment of the in-quota quantity of
the FY 2016 refined sugar TRQ at
132,000 MTRV for which the sucrose
content, by weight in the dry state, must
have a polarimeter reading of 99.5
degrees or more (FR 80, No. 114, June
15, 2015, page 34129). This amount
includes the minimum level to which
the United States is committed under
the WTO Uruguay Round Agreements
(22,000 MTRV of which 1,656 MTRV is
reserved for specialty sugar) and an
additional 110,000 MTRV reserved for
specialty sugars.
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 today
increases the overall FY 2016 refined
sugar TRQ by 20,000 MTRV to 152,000
MTRV. The increased amount is
reserved for specialty sugar. Entry of
this sugar will be permitted beginning
May 9, 2016. The sugar entered under
this tariff-rate quota is reserved for
organic sugar and other specialty sugars
not currently produced commercially in
the United States or reasonably
available from domestic sources.
The provisions of paragraph (a)(i) of
the Additional U.S. Note 5, Chapter 17
in the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule
(HTS) authorize the Secretary to
establish the in-quota tariff-rate quota
(TRQ) amounts (expressed in terms of
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 during each fiscal
year. 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 TRQs for raw cane 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 the
Secretary has 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 may be entered
or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption during FY 2017. This is
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:20 May 05, 2016
Jkt 238001
the minimum amount to which the
United States is committed under the
WTO Uruguay Round Agreements. The
Secretary has further determined that an
aggregate quantity of 162,000 MTRV of
sugars, syrups, and molasses may be
entered or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption during FY 2017. This
quantity includes the minimum amount
to which the United States is committed
under the WTO Uruguay Round
Agreements, 22,000 MTRV, of which
20,344 MTRV is established for any
sugars, syrups and molasses, and 1,656
MTRV is reserved for specialty sugar.
An additional amount of 140,000 MTRV
is added to the specialty sugar TRQ for
a total of 141,656 MTRV.
Because the specialty sugar TRQ is
first-come, first-served, tranches are
needed to allow for orderly marketing
throughout the year. The FY 2017
specialty sugar TRQ will be opened in
five tranches. The first tranche, totaling
1,656 MTRV, will open October 3, 2016.
All specialty sugars are eligible for entry
under this tranche. The second tranche
will open on October 26, 2016, and be
equal to 40,000 MTRV. The third
tranche of 38,344 MTRV will open on
January 6, 2017. The fourth and fifth
tranches of 30,000 MTRV each will
open on April 7, 2017, and July 7, 2017,
respectively. 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.
