Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 125 / Thursday, June 28, 2018 / Notices 30399 

cane sugar exempt from the tariff-rate 

quota (TRQ) for the raw cane sugar 

imports and related requirements on the 

condition that an equivalent quantity of 

refined sugar be: (1) Exported as refined 

sugar; (2) exported as an ingredient in 

sugar containing products; or (3) used in 

production of certain polyhydric 

alcohols. The information requirements 

set forth in the regulation are necessary 

to enable FAS to administer the 

licensing program in full compliance 

with the regulation and to ensure that 

licensed imports do not enter the 

commercial sugar market in 

circumvention of the TRQ for raw cane 

sugar. 

Need and Use of the Information: FAS 

will collect information to verify that 

the world-priced sugar is actually 

exported and not diverted onto the 

domestic market, thereby undermining 

the objectives of politically sensitive 

U.S. sugar policies. This collection 

enables USDA to monitor participants 

in an effort to ensure compliance with 

program parameters. Without the 

collection, there would be increased 

opportunity to divert sugar onto the 

domestic market. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 325. 

Frequency of Responses: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting; Quarterly. 

Total Burden Hours: 414. 

Foreign Agricultural Service 

Title: Specialty Sugar Certificate 

Application. 

OMB Control Number: 0551–0025. 

Summary of Collection: The collect of 

information is necessary to fulfill the 

legal obligations of the regulation at 15 

CFR 2011 subpart B to issue specialty 

sugar certificates, letters to importers 

signed by the Foreign Agricultural 

Service (FAS) Certifying Authority, and 

ensuring that U.S. importers comply 

with the program’s requirements. The 

regulation sets forth the terms and 

conditions under which the Certifying 

Authority in FAS issues certificates to 

importers allowing them to enter 

specialty sugars under the tariff-rate 

quota (TRQ) for refined sugar. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

collected information will be used to: 

(1) Determine whether applicants for the 

program meet the regulation’s eligibility 

criteria; (2) ensure that sugar to be 

imported is specialty sugar and meets 

the requirements of the regulation; (3) 

audit participants’ compliance with the 

regulation; and (4) prevent entry of 

world-priced program sugar from 

entering the domestic commercial 

market instead of domestic specialty 

sugar market. The Certifying Authority 

needs the information to manage, plan, 

evaluate, and account for program 

activities. Less frequent collection or no 

collection would impede administration 

of the specialty sugar certificate program 

and reduce or eliminate imports 

essential to U.S. organic food and 

beverages processors. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 60. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Annually.
