DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Office of the Secretary 

USDA Reassigns Domestic Cane 

Sugar Allotments and Increases the 

Fiscal Year 2011 Raw Sugar Tariff-Rate 

Quota 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Agriculture 

today announced a reassignment of 

surplus sugar under domestic cane 

sugar allotments of 325,000 short tons 

raw value (STRV) to imports, and 

increased the fiscal year (FY) 2011 raw 

sugar tariff-rate quota (TRQ) by the same 

amount. 

DATES: Effective: April 12, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USDA’s 

Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) 

today announces the reassignment of 

projected surplus cane sugar marketing 

allotments under the FY 2011 (October 

1, 2010–September 30, 2011) Sugar 

Marketing Allotment Program. The FY 

2011 cane sector allotment and cane 

state allotments are larger than can be 

fulfilled by domestically-produced cane 

sugar, so the surplus was reassigned to 

raw sugar imports as required by law. 

Upon review of the domestic sugarcane 

processors’ sugar marketing allocations 

relative to their FY 2011 expected raw 

sugar supplies, CCC determined that all 

sugarcane processors had surplus 

allocation. Therefore, all sugarcane 

states’ sugar marketing allotments are 

reduced with this reassignment. The 

new cane state allotments are Florida, 

1,856,850 STRV; Louisiana, 1,577,810 

STRV; Texas, 173,016 STRV; and 

Hawaii, 283,216 STRV. The FY 2011 

sugar marketing allotment program will 

not prevent any domestic sugarcane 

processors from marketing all of their 

FY 2011 sugar supply. 

On August 5, 2010, USDA established 

the FY 2011 TRQ for raw cane sugar at 

1,231,497 STRV (1,117,195 metric tons 

raw value, MTRV*), the minimum the 

United States is committed under the 

World Trade Organization (WTO) 

Uruguay Round Agreements. Pursuant 

to Additional U.S. Note 5 to Chapter 17 

of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

(HTS) and Section 359k of the 

Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as 

amended, the Secretary of Agriculture 

today increased the quantity of raw cane 

sugar imports of the HTS subject to the 

lower tier of duties during FY 2011 by 

325,000 STRV. With this increase, the 

overall FY 2011 raw sugar TRQ is now 

1,556,497 STRV (1,412,030 MTRV). Raw 

cane sugar under this quota must be 

accompanied by a certificate for quota 

eligibility and may be entered under 

subheading 1701.11.10 of the HTS until 

September 30, 2011. The Office of the 

U.S. Trade Representative will allocate 

this increase among supplying countries 

and customs areas. 

This action is being taken after a 

determination that additional supplies 

of raw cane sugar are required in the 

U.S. market. USDA will closely monitor 

stocks, consumption, imports and all 

sugar market and program variables on 

an ongoing basis, and may make further 

program adjustments during FY 2011 if 

needed.
