SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Foreign Agricultural Service, under a 

delegation of authority from the 

Secretary of Agriculture, administers the 

Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota 

Licensing Regulation codified at 7 CFR 

6.20–6.37 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 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. 

Licenses are issued on a calendar year 

basis, and each license authorizes the 

license holder to import a specified 

quantity and type of article from a 

specified country of origin. The Import 

Policies and Programs Division, Foreign 

Agricultural Service, U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, issues these licenses and, 

in conjunction with the U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection, U.S. Department 

of Homeland Security, monitors their 

use. 

The regulation at 7 CFR 6.34(a) states: 

‘‘Whenever a historical license 

(Appendix 1) is not issued to an 

applicant pursuant to the provisions of 

§ 6.23, is permanently surrendered or is 

revoked by the Licensing Authority, the 

amount of such license will be 

transferred to Appendix 2.’’ Section 

6.34(b) provides that the cumulative 

annual transfers will be published in the 

Federal Register. Accordingly, this 

document sets forth the revised 

Appendices for the 2006 tariff-rate quota 

year.
