SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Dairy Tariff-rate Import Quota
Licensing Program.
SUMMARY:

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:57 May 18, 2020

Jkt 250001

OMB Number: 0551–0001.
Expiration Date of Approval: June 30,
2020.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The currently approved
information collection supports the
Dairy Tariff-rate Import Quota
regulation (the Regulation) (7 CFR 6.20–
6.36) which governs the administration
of the import licensing system
applicable to most dairy products
subject to tariff-rate quotas (TRQs). The
TRQs were established in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS) as a result of the
entry into force of certain provisions in
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act
(Pub. L. 103–465) that converted
existing absolute quotas to TRQs.
Imports of nearly all cheeses made from
cow’s milk (except soft-ripened cheese
such as Brie) and certain non-cheese
dairy products (including butter and
dried milk) are subject to TRQs and the
Regulation. Licenses are issued each
quota year to eligible applicants and are
valid for 12 months (January 1 through
December 31). Only licensees may enter
specified quantities of the subject dairy
articles at the applicable in-quota tariffrates. Importers who do not hold
licenses may enter dairy articles only at
the over-quota tariff-rates.
Each quota year, all applicants must
submit form FAS 923 (rev. 7–96). This
form, available online, requires
applicants to: (1) Certify they are an
importer, manufacturer or exporter of
certain dairy products; (2) certify they
meet the eligibility requirements of
§ 6.23 of the Regulation; and (3) submit
documentation required by § 6.23 and
§ 6.24 as proof of eligibility for import
licenses. Applicants for non-historical
licenses must also submit form FAS
923–A (rev. 7–96) (cheese) and/or FAS
923–B (rev. 7–96) (non-cheese dairy
products). This form requires applicants
to request licenses in descending order
of preference for specific products and
countries listed on the form.
After licenses are issued, § 6.26
requires licensees to surrender by
October 1 on form FAS 924–A, License
Surrender Form, any license amount
that a licensee does not intend to enter
that year. These amounts are
reallocated, to the extent practicable, to
existing licensees for the remainder of
that year based on requests submitted
on form FAS 924–B, Application for
Additional License Amounts. Forms
924A and 924B require the licensee to
complete a table listing the surrendered
amount by license number, or listing the
additional amounts requested by dairy

article and supplying country in
descending order of preference.
The estimated total annual burden of
479 hours in the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) inventory for the
currently approved information
collection will remain at 479 hours. The
public reporting burden for this
collection of currently approved forms
FAS 923, FAS 923–A and 923–B (one
form) (rev. 7–96) is estimated to average
446 hours; and FAS 924–A and FAS
924–B (one form) is 33 hours.
Estimate of burden: The average
burden, including the time for
reviewing instructions, gathering data
needed, completing forms, and record
keeping is estimated at .75 hour for form
FAS 923, 923–A, 923–B (rev. 7–96) and
.15 hour for form 924–A, 924–B.
Respondents: Importers and
manufacturers of cheese and non-cheese
dairy products, and exporters of noncheese dairy products.
Estimated number of respondents:
550 for form FAS 923, 923–A, 923–B
(rev. 7–96) and 150 for form 924–A,
924–B (rev. 7–96), total 700.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 479
hours.
Copies of this information collection
may be obtained from Connie Ehrhart,
the Agency Information Collection
Coordinator, at (202) 690–1578.
Requests for Comments: Send
comments regarding (a) whether the
information 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.
FAS is committed to compliance with
the Government Paperwork Elimination
Act, which requires Government
agencies, in general, to provide the
public the option of submitting
information or transacting business
electronically to the maximum extent
possible. 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.
