Candidates for employment use the

approximately 1 million applications 

per year, the majority of which are 

collected electronically using an 

applicant management system, 

Electronic Recruitment Application 

(ERA). Data that HR and hiring officials 

extract from the DS–0174 determine 

employment eligibility and 

qualifications for the position, and

agricultural product among supplying 

countries or customs areas. The 

President delegated this authority to the

Presidential Proclamation 6763 (60 FR

On August 24, 2021, the Secretary of 

Agriculture announced an additional inquota quantity of the TRQ for raw cane 

sugar for the remainder of FY 2021 

(ending September 30, 2021) in the 

amount of 90,100 metric tons raw value

metric ton equals 1.10231125 short tons.

minimum amount to which the United 

States is committed under the WTO 

Uruguay Round Agreements (1,117,195 

MTRV).

United States under the FY 2021 raw 

sugar TRQ will be permitted to enter 

U.S. Customs territory through October 

31, 2021, a month later than the usual 

last entry date. The U.S. Trade 

Representative is allocating this
