The Department of Agriculture has
submitted the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for
review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. Comments are
requested regarding: Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of burden including
the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments regarding this information
collection received by September 27,
2021 will be considered. Written
comments and recommendations for the
proposed information collection should
be submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/

An agency may not conduct or

Jkt 253001
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Foreign Agricultural Service
Title: Specialty Sugar Certificate
Application.
OMB Control Number: 0551–0025.
Summary of Collection: The collect of
information is necessary to fulfill the
legal obligations of the regulation at 15
CFR 2011 subpart B to issue specialty
sugar certificates, letters to importers
signed by the Foreign Agricultural
Service (FAS) Certifying Authority, and
ensuring that U.S. importers comply
with the program’s requirements. The
regulation sets forth the terms and
conditions under which the Certifying
Authority in FAS issues certificates to
importers allowing them to enter
specialty sugars under the tariff-rate
quota (TRQ) for refined sugar.
Need and Use of the Information: The
collected information will be used to:
(1) Determine whether applicants for the
program meet the regulation’s eligibility
criteria; (2) ensure that sugar to be
imported is specialty sugar and meets
the requirements of the regulation; (3)
audit participants’ compliance with the
regulation; and (4) prevent entry of
world-priced program sugar from
entering the domestic commercial
market instead of domestic specialty
sugar market. The Certifying Authority
needs the information to manage, plan,
evaluate, and account for program
activities. Less frequent collection or no
collection would impede administration
of the specialty sugar certificate program
and reduce or eliminate imports
essential to U.S. organic food and
beverages processors.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 45.
