Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 180 / Monday, September 19, 2022 / Notices provision (WEP) of the Act. The Eighth Circuit rejected our interpretation of 42 U.S.C. 415(a)(7)(A)(III) that monthly payments based on noncovered civilian employment, including the CSRS payments to dual-status National Guard technicians, are subject to the WEP. On January 13, 2022, in Babcock v. Kijakazi, 142 S. Ct. 641 (2022), the Supreme Court upheld our interpretation of 42 U.S.C. 415(a)(7)(A)(III) that the CSRS payments to dual-status National Guard technicians do not qualify for the uniformed services exception to the WEP because they are not based wholly on the technicians’ service as a members of a uniformed service. The Supreme Court explained that even though dualstatus technicians must maintain National Guard membership and wear military uniforms, their technician work is not performed ‘‘as’’—in the role, capacity, or function of—a member of the National Guard. ‘‘[T]he role, capacity, or function in which a technician serves is that of a civilian, not a member of the National Guard.’’ 142 S. Ct. at 645. In addition, the Court explained, Congress explicitly classified the dual-status technicians as civilian employees of the Federal government. Id. at 646. Because, in Babcock, the Supreme Court rejected the holding in Petersen by upholding our policy of applying the WEP to the CSRS payments of dualstatus National Guard technicians, we are rescinding AR 12–1(8) in accordance with 20 CFR 404.985(e)(1).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin Nicholson, Office of Agricultural Affairs, at 202–395–9419, or Erin.H.Nicholson@ustr.eop.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Additional U.S. Note 5 to chapter 17 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), the United States maintains TRQs for imports of raw cane sugar and refined sugar. Pursuant to Additional U.S. Note 8 to chapter 17 of the HTSUS, the United States maintains a TRQ for imports of sugar-containing products. Section 404(d)(3) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3601(d)(3)) authorizes the President to allocate the in-quota quantity of a TRQ for any agricultural product among supplying countries or customs areas. The President delegated this authority to the U.S. Trade Representative under Presidential Proclamations 6763 (60 FR 1007) and 7235 (64 FR 55611). On September 15, 2022, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the establishment of the inquota quantity of the FY2023 refined sugar TRQ at 222,000 metric tons raw value (MTRV) for which the sucrose content, by weight in the dry state, must have a polarimeter reading of 99.5 degrees or more. This amount includes the minimum level to which the United States is committed under the WTO Agreement (22,000 MTRV of which 1,656 MTRV is reserved for specialty sugar) and an additional 200,000 MTRV for specialty sugar. The U.S. Trade Representative is allocating the refined sugar TRQ as follows: 10,300 MTRV of refined sugar to Canada, 2,954 MTRV to Mexico, and 7,090 MTRV to be administered on a first-come, firstserved basis. Imports of all specialty sugar will be administered on a firstcome, first-served basis in five tranches. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00080 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 57247 USDA has announced that the total inquota quantity of specialty sugar will be the 1,656 MTRV included in the WTO minimum plus an additional 200,000 MTRV. The first tranche of 1,656 MTRV will open October 3, 2022. All types of specialty sugar are eligible for entry under this tranche. The second tranche of 60,000 MTRV will open on October 10, 2022. The third tranche of 60,000 MTRV will open on January 20, 2023. The fourth tranche of 40,000 MTRV will open on April 14, 2023. The fifth tranche of 40,000 MTRV will open on July 14, 2023. The second, third, fourth, and fifth tranches will be reserved for organic sugar and other specialty sugar not currently produced commercially in the United States or reasonably available from domestic sources. Refined and specialty sugar for the FY2023 TRQ may enter the United States as of October 3, 2022. Greta Peisch, General Counsel, Office of the United States Trade Representative.
