OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

Implementation of United StatesColombia Trade Promotion Agreement 

Tariff-Rate Quota for Imports of Sugar 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: USTR is providing notice that 

the tariff-rate quota for sugar established 

by the United States-Colombia Trade 

Promotion Agreement will be 

administered using certificates of quota 

eligibility. 

DATES: Effective Date: May 15, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Inquiries may be mailed or 

delivered to Ann Heilman-Dahl, 

Director of Agriculture Affairs, Office of 

the United States Trade Representative, 

600 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 

20508. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann 

Heilman-Dahl, Office of Agriculture 

Affairs, telephone: (202) 395–6127 or 

facsimile: (202) 395–4579. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 22, 2006, the United States 

entered into the United States-Colombia 

Trade Promotion Agreement (the 

‘‘Agreement’’) and, on June 28, 2007, the 

Parties to the Agreement signed a 

protocol amending the Agreement. 

Congress approved the Agreement as 

amended in section 101(a) of the United 

States-Colombia Trade Promotion 

Agreement Implementation Act (the 

‘‘Implementation Act’’) (Pub. L. 112–42, 

125 Stat. 462) (19 U.S.C. 3805 note). The 

President is authorized under section 

201(d) of the Implementation Act to take 

such action as may be necessary in 

implementing the tariff-rate quotas set 

forth in Appendix I to the General Notes 

to the Schedule of the United States to 

Annex 2.3 of the Agreement to ensure 

the orderly marketing of commodities in 

the United States. Under a tariff-rate 

quota, the United States applies one 

tariff rate, known as the ‘‘in-quota tariff 

rate,’’ to imports of a product up to a 

particular amount, known as the ‘‘inquota quantity,’’ and a different, higher 

tariff rate, known as the ‘‘over-quota 

tariff rate,’’ to imports of the product in 

excess of that amount.) Appendix I of 

the Agreement establishes a tariff-rate 

quota for imports of sugar from 

Colombia. 

USTR is providing notice that the 

United States, consistent with Note 9(a) 

of Appendix I, is administering the 

duty-free quantities of sugar established 

under the Agreement through a 

certificate system substantially similar 

to that described in 15 CFR 2011.102(c) 

(2006). Consistent with 15 CFR 

2011.102(c), no sugar that is the product 

of Colombia may be permitted entry 

under the in-quota tariff-rate established 

for imports of sugar from Colombia 

unless at the time of entry the person 

entering such sugar presents to the 

appropriate customs official a valid and 

properly executed certificate of quota 

eligibility for such sugar. The Secretary 

of Agriculture will issue such 

certificates of quota eligibility to the 

Government of Colombia. These 

certificates, when duly executed and 

issued by the certifying authority of 

Colombia, will authorize entry into the 

United States at the in-quota tariff-rate 

established under the Agreement. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has approved the information 

collection requirements related to this 

notice in accordance with 44 U.S.C 

Chapter 25, and OMB control number 

0551–0014 has been assigned with 

corresponding clearance effective 

through May 31, 2013. 

Ronald Kirk, 

United States Trade Representative.
