**DEPARTMENT OF STATE**

**[Public Notice 6930]**

**Executive Order 11423, as Amended; Notice of Receipt of Application To**  **Amend the Presidential Permit for the Nogales-Mariposa International Border**  **Crossing on the U.S.-Mexico Border**

**AGENCY :**  Department of State.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Department of State hereby gives notice that, on March 12, 2010, it received from the General Services Administration (GSA) an application to amend the Presidential permit that the Department issued in 2005 to the Arizona Department of Transportation for the Nogales-Mariposa port of entry (Mariposa) at Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. GSA intends to remodel and expand the existing border crossing. GSA’s application to the Department is in keeping with the determination that GSA is generally the appropriate permittee for at-grade ( i.e., those not located along the Rio Grande), federally owned border crossings along the U.S.- Mexico border. The Department and GSA agree that an amendment of the existing Presidential permit is required in this case because GSA’s project would widen the piercing of the border and would formally establish Mariposa as a border crossing for pedestrians.

According to the application, approximately 45% of the produce consumed in the United States during winter months crosses at Mariposa. In 2008, $12.85 billion of merchandise entered through the crossing, an increase of $8.25 billion over the total for 1995. The inadequacies of the existing facility cause long delays for commercial traffic during peak times. When it opened about 35 years ago, Mariposa was designed to accommodate 450 commercial vehicles per day. Currently, the port processes approximately 1,000 commercial vehicles per day. This figure is expected to increase to 1,730 per day by 2030. Furthermore, Mariposa was not designed to accommodate pedestrians and buses; lack of pedestrian facilities results in pedestrians crossing an active roadway to enter the U.S. facility. Inspection areas are too small to meet production standards, vehicle circulation routes are insufficient to efficiently move traffic, and critical security and operational facilities are poor and lacking. GSA’s $199 million project is funded by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 and is a priority project for both GSA and the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of the Department of Homeland Security because of the crossing’s importance to trade and its inability to facilitate current traffic flows safely and efficiently.

The Department’s jurisdiction over this application is based upon Executive Order 11423 of August 16, 1968, as amended. As provided in E.O. 11423, the Department is circulating this application to relevant federal and state agencies for review and comment. Under E.O. 11423, the Department has the responsibility to determine, taking into account input from these agencies and other stakeholders, whether amending the Presidential permit for this border crossing would be in the U.S. national interest.

**DATES :**  Interested members of the public are invited to submit written comments regarding this application on or before April 29, 2010 to Stewart Tuttle, U.S.- Mexico Border Affairs Coordinator via e-mail at WHA–BorderAffairs@state.gov or by mail at Office of Mexican Affairs— Room 3909, Department of State, 2201

**Reallocation of Unused Fiscal Year 2010 Tariff-Rate Quota Volume for Raw**  **Cane Sugar**

**AGENCY :**  Office of the United States Trade Representative. **ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is providing notice of country-by-country reallocations of the fiscal year (FY) 2010 in-quota quantity of the tariff-rate quota (TRQ) for imported raw cane sugar.

**DATES :**  Effective Date: March 25, 2010.

**ADDRESSES :**  Inquiries may be mailed or delivered to Leslie O’Connor, Director of Agricultural Affairs, Office of Agricultural Affairs, Office of the United States Trade Representative, 600 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20508.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Leslie O’Connor, Office of Agricultural Affairs, 202–395–6127.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Pursuant to Additional U.S. Note 5 to chapter 17 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), the United States maintains TRQs for imports of raw cane and refined sugar.

Section 404(d)(3) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3601(d)(3)) authorizes the President to allocate the in-quota quantity of a TRQ for any agricultural product among supplying countries or customs areas. The President delegated this authority to the United States Trade Representative under Presidential Proclamation 6763 (60 FR 1007).

On September 29, 2009, the Secretary of Agriculture established the FY 2010 TRQ for imported raw cane sugar at the minimum amount to which the United States committed to pursuant to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Uruguay Round Agreements (1,117,195 metric tons raw value (MTRV)). On October 6, 2009, USTR provided notice of country-by-country allocations of the FY 2010 in-quota quantity of the TRQ for imported raw cane sugar. Based on consultation with quota holders, USTR has determined to reallocate 81,946 MTRV of the original TRQ quantity from those countries that have stated they will be unable to fill their FY 2010 allocated raw cane sugar quantities. USTR is allocating the 81,946 MTRV to the following countries in the amounts specified below:

Country FY 2010 reallocation

Argentina .............................. 3,729 Australia ................................ 7,197 Belize .................................... 954 Bolivia ................................... 694 Brazil ..................................... 12,574 Colombia ............................... 2,081 Costa Rica ............................ 1,301 Dominican Republic .............. 15,262 Ecuador ................................ 954 El Salvador ........................... 2,255 Guatemala ............................ 4,162 Country FY 2010 reallocation

Guyana ................................. 1,041 Honduras .............................. 867 India ...................................... 694 Jamaica ................................ 954 Malawi ................................... 867 Mozambique ......................... 1,127 Nicaragua ............................. 1,821 Panama ................................ 2,515 Peru ...................................... 3,555 Philippines ............................ 11,706 South Africa .......................... 1,994 Swaziland ............................. 1,387 Thailand ................................ 1,214 Zimbabwe ............................. 1,041

These allocations are based on the countries’ historical shipments to the United States. The allocations of the raw cane sugar TRQ to countries that are net importers of sugar are conditioned on receipt of the appropriate verifications of origin and certificates for quota eligibility must accompany imports from any country for which an allocation has been provided.

Conversion factor: 1 metric ton = 1.10231125 short tons.
