SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS),

under a delegation of authority from the

Secretary of Agriculture, administers the

Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota

Licensing Regulation codified at 7 CFR

6.20–6.36 which provides for the

issuance of licenses to import certain

dairy articles which are subject to tariffrate quotas at the low-tier tariff (TRQs)

set forth in the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States. These

dairy articles may only be entered into

the United States by or for the account

of a person or firm to whom such

licenses have been issued and only in

accordance with the terms and

conditions of the regulation.

Licenses for the quota year are issued

on a calendar year basis, and each

license authorizes the license holder to

import a specified quantity and type of

dairy article from a specified country of

origin. The use of licenses by the license

holder to import dairy articles at the

low-tier tariff is monitored by the Dairy

Import Program Group, Import Policies

and Programs Division, Foreign

Agricultural Service, U.S. Department of

Agriculture, and the U.S. Customs

Service.

The regulation at 7 CFR 6.34(a) states

that whenever a historical license

(Appendix 1) is not issued to an

applicant pursuant to the provisions of

6.23, is permanently surrendered or is

revoked by the Licensing Authority, the

amount of such license will be

transferred to Appendix 2. Section

6.34(b) provides that the cumulative

annual transfers will be published in the

Federal Register. Accordingly, this

document sets out revised Appendices

for the 1998 tariff-rate quota year.

Issued at Washington, D.C. the 22nd day of

April, 1998.
