SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
establishes the aggregate levels of the
World Trade Organization (WTO) TRQ
for refined sugars each fiscal year and
may reserve a quantity for specialty
sugar imports. This specialty sugar TRQ
is administered globally on a first-come,
first-served basis.
Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 3601 and
Presidential Proclamation 6763, USTR
has the authority to promulgate
regulations to administer the TRQs
relating to certain agricultural products,
including the sugar TRQs as defined in
additional U.S. Note 5 to Chapter 17 of
the HTSUS. USTR issued rules, codified
at 15 CFR part 2011, subpart B, setting
forth the terms and conditions under
which certificates will be issued to U.S.
importers for importing specialty sugars
from source countries. For the purposes
of subpart B, the term ‘specialty sugar’
is defined in section 2011.202(i).
The interim final rule published on
October 4, 1990 (55 FR 40646), included
in the last subparagraph of the
definition of ‘specialty sugar’ (section
2011.202(j)(3)) the criterion that
specialty sugar ‘‘[r]equire no further
refining, processing, or other
preparation prior to consumption, other
than incorporation as an ingredient in
human food.’’ In the final rule
published on May 29, 1996 (61 FR
26783), USTR addressed certain
amendments to the definition of
‘specialty sugar,’ including the addition
of specific products to the list of eligible
PO 00000
Frm 00180
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
sugars and a provision for ‘‘other sugars,
as determined by the United States
Trade Representative, that would be
considered specialty sugar products
within the normal commerce of the
United States’’. The final rule also made
conforming changes to reflect updates to
the HTSUS and redesignated the
definition from section 2011.202(j) to
section 2011.202(i) (61 FR at 26783–
26784). The final rule did not clearly
indicate whether the criterion in the last
subparagraph was maintained or had
been eliminated. However, this criterion
was not reflected in the amended
definition published in the CFR.
II. Input Requested
Some stakeholders have suggested
that USTR amend the definition of
specialty sugar at 15 CFR part 2011 to
reflect the criterion that specialty sugar
‘‘[r]equire no further refining,
processing, or other preparation prior to
consumption, other than incorporation
as an ingredient in human food.’’ In this
regard, USTR seeks information from
stakeholders on the following questions:
1. Please indicate whether you would
support amending the specialty sugar
definition to reflect this criterion as part
of the definition of specialty sugar.
Please explain the rationale for your
position.
2. Are there current circumstances,
including with respect to market
dynamics, that would support USTR
amending the specialty sugar definition
to reflect this criterion? Please explain
your answer.
3. How could the U.S. Government
best enforce compliance with this
criterion?
4. How would this criterion improve
or harm the operation of the specialty
sugar TRQ? Please explain your views.
5. How would this criterion impact
U.S. imports of sugar, including any
impacts on trade from particular
supplying countries?
6. How would this criterion impact
U.S. sugar prices, including prices for
conventional sugars, organic sugars, raw
sugars, refined sugars, or other sugarcontaining products?

Trade Representative.
