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

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:

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.
