Overall Sugar Marketing Allotment,

Allotments and Company Allocations
Commodity Credit Corporation,
USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) is issuing this
notice to increase the fiscal year (FY)
2022 overall sugar marketing allotment
SUMMARY:
quantity (OAQ), State cane sugar
allotments, and revise company
allocations to sugar beet and sugar cane
processors, which apply to all domestic
beet and cane sugar marketed for human
consumption in the United States from
October 1, 2021, through September 30,
2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
On
September 30, 2021, USDA announced
the initial fiscal year 2022 OAQ, which
was established at 10,370,000 short
tons, raw value, (STRV) equal to 85
percent of the estimated quantity of
sugar for domestic human consumption
for the fiscal year of 12,200,000 STRV as
forecast in the September 2021 World
Agricultural Supply and Demand
Estimates report. The Agricultural
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended,
requires that 54.35 percent of the OAQ
be distributed among beet processors
and 45.65 percent be distributed among
the sugarcane States and cane
processors.
Some beet processors anticipate that
their FY 2022 beet sugar supplies will
exceed their FY 2022 marketing
allocation, a phenomenon known as
‘‘blocked stocks.’’ Given the expected
large amount of blocked beet sugar
stocks and current high sugar prices,
USDA is increasing the FY 2022 OAQ
to 10,802,657 STRV. The revised beet
sector allotment is 5,871,244 STRV (an
increase of 235,149) and the revised
cane sector allotment is 4,931,413 STRV
(an increase of 197,508). The revised
beet and cane sector allotments are
distributed to individual processors
according to formulas contained in the
authorizing legislation for the Sugar
Program,1 as shown in the Table below
(see the column titled ‘‘Preliminary
Adjusted Allocation’’).

In accordance with section 359e of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as
amended, after evaluating each sugar
beet processor’s ability to market its full
allocation after the OAQ increase,
USDA is transferring allocations from
beet sugar processors with surplus
allocation to those with deficit
allocation as shown in the Table above,
in the column titled ‘‘Adjusted FY 2022
Allocations as of December 2021.’’
These actions will result in a transfer
of 304,674 STRV of allocation to beet
processors with a deficit allocation, an
amount sufficient to allow them to
market their entire FY 2022 beet sugar
supply. USDA has determined that no
reassignment of allotments among
sugarcane States and allocations among
cane processors is necessary at this
time.
USDA will closely monitor stocks,
consumption, imports and all sugar
market and program variables on an
ongoing basis and may make further
program adjustments during FY 2022 if
needed.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is issuing
this notice to increase the fiscal year (FY) 2022 overall sugar
marketing allotment quantity (OAQ), State cane sugar allotments, and
revise company allocations to sugar beet and sugar cane processors,
which apply to all domestic beet and cane sugar marketed for human
consumption in the United States from October 1, 2021, through
