cane sugar exempt from the tariff-rate
quota (TRQ) for the raw cane sugar
imports and related requirements on the
condition that an equivalent quantity of
refined sugar be: (1) Exported as refined
sugar; (2) exported as an ingredient in
sugar containing products; or (3) used in
production of certain polyhydric
alcohols. The information requirements
set forth in the regulation are necessary
to enable FAS to administer the
licensing program in full compliance
with the regulation and to ensure that
licensed imports do not enter the
commercial sugar market in
circumvention of the TRQ for raw cane
sugar.
Need and Use of the Information: FAS
will collect information to verify that
the world-priced sugar is actually
exported and not diverted onto the
domestic market, thereby undermining
the objectives of politically sensitive
U.S. sugar policies. This collection
enables USDA to monitor participants
in an effort to ensure compliance with
program parameters. Without the
collection, there would be increased
opportunity to divert sugar onto the
domestic market.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 325.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Reporting; Quarterly.
Total Burden Hours: 414.
Foreign Agricultural Service
Title: Specialty Sugar Certificate
Application.
OMB Control Number: 0551–0025.
Summary of Collection: The collect of
information is necessary to fulfill the
legal obligations of the regulation at 15
CFR 2011 subpart B to issue specialty
sugar certificates, letters to importers
signed by the Foreign Agricultural
Service (FAS) Certifying Authority, and
ensuring that U.S. importers comply
with the program’s requirements. The
regulation sets forth the terms and
conditions under which the Certifying
Authority in FAS issues certificates to
importers allowing them to enter
specialty sugars under the tariff-rate
quota (TRQ) for refined sugar.
Need and Use of the Information: The
collected information will be used to:
(1) Determine whether applicants for the
program meet the regulation’s eligibility
criteria; (2) ensure that sugar to be
imported is specialty sugar and meets
the requirements of the regulation; (3)
audit participants’ compliance with the
regulation; and (4) prevent entry of
world-priced program sugar from
entering the domestic commercial
market instead of domestic specialty
sugar market. The Certifying Authority

needs the information to manage, plan,
evaluate, and account for program
activities. Less frequent collection or no
collection would impede administration
of the specialty sugar certificate program
and reduce or eliminate imports
essential to U.S. organic food and
beverages processors.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 60.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 66.
