the quantity of 4,656 metric tons, raw

value, is reserved for the importation of

specialty sugars. These quota amounts

may be allocated among supplying

countries and areas by the United States

Trade Representative.

I will issue Certificates of Quota

Eligibility (CQEs) to allow the

Philippines, Brazil, and the Dominican

Republic to ship up to 25 percent of

each country’s allocation at the low-tier

tariff during each quarter of FY 1998.

Australia, Guatemala, Argentina, Peru,

Panama, El Salvador, Columbia, South

Africa, and Nicaragua will be allowed to

ship up to 50 percent of their initial

allocations in the first six months of FY

1998. Unentered allocations, during any

quarter or six month period, may be

entered in any subsequent period. For

all other countries, CQEs corresponding

to each country’s allocation may be

entered at the low-tier tariff at any time

during the fiscal year. Should country

allocations result from the January,

March, and May blocks, they may be

entered subsequent to their allocation

by USTR.

Mexico’s North American Free Trade

Agreement (NAFTA) access to the U.S.

market is established at 25,000 metric

tons raw value (27,558 short tons raw

value). That access will be for either raw

or refined sugar, but total access under

the refined sugar allocation and the rawsugar allocation is not to exceed 25,000

metric tons. Mexico’s NAFTA access for

either raw or refined sugar is established

in Annex 703.2.

Signed at Washington, DC on September

16, 1997.

Secretary of Agriculture.
