SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
The Secretary’s authority under
paragraph (a)(i) of the Additional U.S.
Note 5, Chapter 17 in the HTS and
Section 359(k) of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended,
has been delegated to the Under
Secretary for Trade and Foreign
Agricultural Affairs (7 CFR 2.26). The
Under Secretary has subsequently
delegated this authority to the
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural
Service (7 CFR 2.601).
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
Notice is hereby given that I have
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or withdrawn from warehouse for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 2022. This is
the minimum amount to which the
United States is committed under the
WTO Uruguay Round Agreements. The
conversion factor is 1 metric ton raw
value equals 1.10231125 short tons raw
value. I have further determined that an
aggregate quantity of 222,000 MTRV of
sugars, syrups, and molasses (refined
sugar) may be entered or withdrawn
from warehouse for consumption during
FY 2022. 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 200,000 MTRV is added to
the specialty sugar TRQ for a total of
201,656 MTRV.
Because the specialty sugar TRQ is
first-come, first-served, tranches are
needed to allow for orderly marketing
throughout the year. The FY 2022
specialty sugar TRQ will be opened in
five tranches. The first tranche, totaling
1,656 MTRV, will open October 1, 2021.
All specialty sugars are eligible for entry
under this tranche. The second tranche
of 60,000 MTRV will open on October
8, 2021. The third tranche of 60,000
MTRV will open on January 21, 2022.
The fourth tranche of 40,000 MTRV will
open on April 15, 2022. The fifth
tranche of 40,000 MTRV will open on
July 15, 2022. 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.

Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
