Summary of Collection: The Food
Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has
been delegated the authority to exercise
the functions of the Secretary as

and disposition of SRMs, and any
corrective actions taken to ensure that
such procedures are effective.
Need and Use of the Information:

establishments to ensure meat and meat
products distributed in commerce for
use as human food do not contain
SMRs.

Title: Certificates for Quota Eligibility.
OMB Number: 0551–0014.
Expiration Date of Approval: April 30,
2020.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Additional U.S. note 5 to
Chapter 17 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS),
established by Presidential
Proclamation 6763 of December 1994,
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
to establish for each fiscal year the
quantity of sugars, syrups, and molasses
that may be entered at the lower tariff

rates of TRQs established under the
Uruguay Round of multilateral trade
negotiations as reflected in the
provisions of Schedule XX (United
States), annexed to the Marrakesh
Agreement Establishing the World
Trade Organization (WTO).
Pursuant to 15 CFR part 2011,
Allocation of Tariff-Rate Quota on
Imported Sugars, Syrups, and Molasses,
Subpart A—Certificates of Quota, CQEs
are issued to foreign countries that have
been allocated a share of the WTO sugar
TRQ. This regulation provides for the
issuance of CQEs by the Secretary of
Agriculture and in general prohibits
sugar entered under the WTO TRQ from
being imported into the United States or
withdrawn from a warehouse for
consumption at the in-quota duty rates
unless such sugar is accompanied by a
valid CQE.
In addition, CQEs are required for the
import of sugar into the United States
under the sugar TRQs established under
the U.S.—Colombia, U.S.—Panama, and
U.S.—Peru Trade Promotion
Agreements, as set forth in 19 U.S.C.
3805.
CQEs for the aforementioned WTO
and FTA sugar TRQs are distributed to
foreign countries by the Senior Director
of the Multilateral Affairs Division,
Foreign Agriculture Service, or his or
her designee. The distribution of CQEs
is in such amounts and at such times as
the Senior Director determines are
appropriate to enable the foreign
country to fill its quota allocation for
such quota period in a reasonable
manner, taking into account harvesting
periods, U.S. import requirements, and
other relevant factors. The information
required to be collected on the CQE is
used to monitor and control the imports
of products subject to the WTO and FTA
sugar TRQs. A valid CQE, duly executed
and issued by the Certifying Authority
of the foreign country, is required for
eligibility to enter the products into U.S.
customs territory under the TRQs.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for the collection
directly varies with the number of CQEs
issued.
Respondents: Foreign governments.
Estimated Number of WTO
Respondents: 30.
Estimated Number of FTA
Respondents: 2.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 124 per fiscal year.
Estimated Total Annual Reporting
Burden: 3,968 hours

Coordinator, at (202) 690–1578.

Requests for Comments: Send
comments regarding (a) Whether the
information collection is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the collection of
information including validity of the
methodology and assumption used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Copies of this information collection
may be obtained from Ronald
Croushorn, the Agency Information
Collection Coordinator, at (202) 720–

1400 Independence Avenue SW,
Washington, DC 20250–1021 or
telephone (202) 720–2194 or email
[email protected]. All comments
received will be available for public
inspection in Room 5526 at the above
address.
Persons with disabilities who require
an alternative means of communication
for information (Braille, large print,
audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA’s
target center at (202) 720–2600 (voice
and TDD). All responses to this notice
will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments also will become a matter of
public record.
FAS is committed to complying with
the Government Paperwork Elimination
Act which requires Government
agencies, to the maximum extent
feasible, to provide the public the
option of electronically submitting
information collection. CQEs permit
exporters to ship raw cane sugar to the
United States at the U.S. sugar price,
which is ordinarily higher than the
world sugar price. Therefore, in contrast
to most information collection
documents, CQEs have a monetary
value equivalent to the substantial
benefits to exporters. CQEs have always
been carefully handled as secure
documents and distributed only to
foreign government-approved Certifying
Authorities.
