**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.
