ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: This notice announces the transfer of amounts for certain dairy articles from the historical license category (Appendix 1) to the lottery (nonhistorical) license category (Appendix 2) pursuant to the Dairy Tariff-Rate Quota Import Licensing regulations for the 2024 quota year. DATES: August 20, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Riley, (202) 720–6868, Elizabeth.riley@usda.gov. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The Foreign Agricultural Service, under a delegation of authority from the Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs, administers the Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota Licensing Regulation codified at 7 CFR 6.20–6.36 that provides for the issuance of licenses to import certain dairy articles under tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) as set forth in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) of the United States. These dairy articles may only be entered into the United States at the low-tier tariff by or for the account of a person or firm to whom such licenses have been issued and only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the regulation. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Licenses are issued on a calendar year basis, and each license authorizes the license holder to import a specified quantity and type of dairy article from a specified country of origin. The Imports Program, Foreign Agricultural Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, issues these licenses and, in conjunction with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, monitors their use. 7 CFR 6.34(a) provides that whenever a historical license (Appendix 1) is permanently surrendered, revoked by the Licensing Authority, or not issued to an applicant pursuant to the provisions of § 6.23, the amount of such license will be transferred to Appendix 2. Section 6.25(b) of the regulations provides that beginning with the 2024 quota year, a historical licensee who has surrendered more than 50% of such historical license in at least three of the past five quota years will have their historical license reduced to the average of their imports over those five years. When issuing historical licenses for the 2024 quota year, FAS used license usage data from 2019–2023 to implement this provision of the regulations. Section 6.34(b) provides that the cumulative annual transfers to Appendix 2 will be published by notice in the Federal Register. Accordingly, this document sets forth the revised Appendices in the table below. Although there are no changes to the quantities for designated licenses (Appendix 3 and Appendix 4), those numbers are also included in the table below for completeness. Daniel R. Williams II, Acting Deputy Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service. E:\FR\FM\20AUN1.SGM 20AUN1
