Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 168 / Thursday, September 2, 2021 / Notices 49289 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for 3 years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 4.882 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Agricultural producers, 

animal scientists and technicians, 

agricultural inspectors, and State animal 

health officials. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 40,050. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 13. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 519,950. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 2,538,300 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 25th day of 

August 2021.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Foreign Agricultural Service 

Adjustment of Appendices Under the 

Dairy Tariff-Rate Quota Import 

Licensing Regulation 

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

transfer of amounts for certain dairy 

articles from the historical license 

category (Appendix 1) to the lottery 

(nonhistorical) license category 

(Appendix 2) pursuant to the Dairy 

Tariff-Rate Quota Import Licensing 

regulations for the 2021 quota year. In 

addition, adjustments have been made 

to the Appendices to reflect changes to 

United Kingdom (UK) and European 

Union (EU) country allocations for 

certain tariff rate quotas (TRQs) and 

other changes to the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

made by the U.S. Trade Representative 

in response to the withdrawal of the UK 

from the EU and the accession of Croatia 

to the EU, which will go into effect for 

the 2022 quota year. Appendices 1 and 

2 for the EU–27 for Additional U.S. Note 

16 to Chapter 4 have also been adjusted 

to account for a clerical error in last 

year’s Appendices 1 and 2 published 

amounts. This correction does not 

increase the overall quantity allotted to 

the EU–27 and the UK. 

DATES: September 2, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Foreign Agricultural Service, under a 

delegation of authority from the Under 

Secretary for Trade and Foreign 

Agricultural Affairs, administers the 

Dairy Tariff-Rate Quota Import 

Licensing regulation codified at 7 CFR 

6.20 through 6.36 that provides for the 

issuance of licenses to import certain 

dairy articles under TRQs as set forth in 

the HTSUS. These dairy articles may 

only be entered into the United States 

at the low-tier tariff 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 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 

Imports Program, Foreign Agricultural 

Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 

issues these licenses and, in conjunction 

with U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, U.S. Department of 

Homeland Security, monitors their use. 

The regulation at 7 CFR 6.34(a) states 

that whenever a historical license 

(Appendix 1) is permanently 

surrendered, revoked by the Licensing 

Authority, or not issued to an applicant 

pursuant to the provisions of § 6.23, 

then the amount of such license will be 

transferred to Appendix 2. Section 

6.34(b) provides that the cumulative 

annual transfers will be published by 

notice in the Federal Register. 

Accordingly, this document sets forth 

the revised Appendices in the table 

below. The quantities for designated 

licenses (Appendix 3 and Appendix 4) 

are also included in the table below for 

completeness. 

In addition, the Appendices have 

been revised to reflect modified EU and 

UK country allocations under certain 

TRQs in Chapter 4 of the HTSUS made 

by the U.S. Trade Representative in 

response to the withdrawal of the UK 

from the EU and to acknowledge the 

accession of Croatia to the EU. On July 

6, 2021, the U.S. Trade Representative 

announced, inter alia, that: (1) The 

TRQs allocated to the EU under 

Additional U.S. Notes 6, 16, 17, and 18 

to Chapter 4 will be allocated between 

the EU and the UK according to the 

average percentage of in-quota imports 

for the 2013–2015 period; and (2) the 

UK would have access to a specific inquota quantity under these notes. 

Specifically, the U.S. Trade 

Representative announced that, effective 

with respect to articles entered for 

consumption, or withdrawn from 

warehouse for consumption, on or after 

January 1, 2022: 

1. Additional U.S. Note 2 to Chapter 

4 of the HTSUS is modified by: (a) 

Inserting ‘‘Croatia,’’ into the list of 

countries in alphabetical order; and (b) 

deleting ‘‘the Slovak Republic, Sweden 

or the United Kingdom’’ and inserting 

‘‘the Slovak Republic or Sweden’’ in 

lieu thereof. 

2. With respect to the published inquota quantity of 96,161 kilograms 

allocated to the EU 27 for the TRQ in 

Additional U.S. Note 6 to Chapter 4 of 

the HTSUS, the UK shall have access to 

a quantity of not less than 14,062 

kilograms and the EU 27 shall have 

access to a quantity of not less than 

82,099 kilograms. 

3. Additional U.S. Note 16 to Chapter 

4 of the HTSUS is modified by: (a) 

Inserting ‘‘United Kingdom’’ into the list 

of countries in alphabetical order; (b) 

inserting a quota quantity of 

‘‘2,213,374’’ in the Quantity (kg) column 

for the United Kingdom; (c) deleting the 

quantity ‘‘27,846,224’’ in the Quantity 

(kg) column for the EU27; and (d) 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
49290 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 168 / Thursday, September 2, 2021 / Notices 

‘‘25,632,850’’ in the Quantity (kg) 

column for the EU27 in lieu thereof. 

4. Additional U.S. Note 17 to Chapter 

4 of the HTSUS is modified by: (a) 

Inserting ‘‘United Kingdom’’ into the list 

of countries in alphabetical order; (b) 

inserting a quota quantity of ‘‘23,617’’’ 

in the Quantity (kg) column for the 

United Kingdom; (c) deleting the 

quantity ‘‘2,829,000’’ in the Quantity 

(kg) column for the EU27; and (d) 

inserting ‘‘2,805,383’’ in the Quantity 

(kg) column for the EU27 in lieu thereof. 

5. Additional U.S. Note 18 to Chapter 

4 of the HTSUS is modified by: (a) 

Inserting ‘‘United Kingdom’’ into the list 

of countries in alphabetical order; (b) 

inserting a quota quantity of ‘‘895,948’’ 

in the Quantity (kg) column for the 

United Kingdom; (c) deleting the 

quantity ‘‘1,31,000’’ in the Quantity (kg) 

column for the EU27; and (d) inserting 

‘‘417,052’’ in the Quantity (kg) column 

for the EU27 in lieu thereof. 

For U.S. TRQs under Additional U.S. 

Notes 19 to 23 and 25 to Chapter 4, the 

UK otherwise will be eligible to export 

under the in-quota quantities allocated 

to ‘‘other countries or areas.’’ See 

Modification of U.S. Tariff-Rate Quotas 

and the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (86 FR 35560 (July 6, 

2021)). Accordingly, the Licensing 

Authority has divided the amounts 

allocated to the EU under Additional 

U.S. Notes 6, 16, 17, and 18 in 

Appendices 1, 2, 3 and 4, as applicable, 

between the EU and the UK by directly 

applying the percentages used by the 

U.S. Trade Representative to allocate the 

overall TRQs under those notes. 

Entities that currently hold EU–27 

historical licenses for TRQs under 

Additional U.S. Notes 6, 16, 17, and 18 

that wish to retain their EU–27 

historical licenses and/or obtain UK 

historical licenses under these TRQs for 

the 2022 TRQ year and that otherwise 

qualify for carry over of such EU–27 

historical licenses will be instructed to 

apply to carry over the EU–27 historical 

license and/or to obtain a UK historical 

license. The quantities of the new EU– 

27 license and/or UK license for the 

2022 TRQ year that will be issued under 

these TRQs will be determined by 

allocating the original EU–27 license 

quantity between the two new licenses 

applying the same ratio that USTR used 

to split the applicable overall TRQ. Any 

discrepancies in quantities at the 

individual license level are due to 

rounding. 

Notice of this action and specific 

instructions on how to apply for the 

2022 TRQ year for EU–27 and UK 

historical licenses under these TRQs are 

being provided to all current holders of 

EU–27 historical licenses for TRQs 

under Additional U.S. Notes 6, 16, 17, 

and 18. The notice and instructions are 

also posted on USDA Foreign 

Agricultural Service’s Dairy Import 

Licensing Program’s website at: https:// 

www.fas.usda.gov/programs/dairyimport-licensing-program and also in 

the Community Notices section of the 

Agricultural Trade License 

Administration System (ATLAS). 

Finally, with regard to Additional 

U.S. Note 16, Cheese and Substitutes for 

Cheese, the quantity in Appendix 1 for 

EU–27 historical licenses includes an 

additional 21,768 kg and the quantity 

for EU–27 lottery licenses in Appendix 

2 includes a reduction of 21,768 kg. 

This corrects a clerical error in the 

previously published quantities for 

Appendices 1 and 2. The correction 

does not change the overall quantity 

allotted to the EU–27 or the UK under 

Additional U.S. Note 16.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Dairy 

Tariff-Rate Quota Import Licensing 

Regulation promulgated by the 

Department of Agriculture and codified 

at 7 CFR 6.20 through 6.36 provides for 

the issuance of licenses to import 

certain dairy articles that are subject to 

TRQs set forth in the HTS. Those dairy 

articles may only be entered into the 

United States at the in-quota TRQ tariffrates 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 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 

such licenses is monitored by the 

Import Program within the Foreign 

Agricultural Service, U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection, U.S. Department of 

Homeland Security. 

The regulation at 7 CFR 6.33(a) 

provides that a fee will be charged for 

each license issued to a person or firm 

by the Licensing Authority to defray the 

Department of Agriculture’s costs of 

administering the licensing system 

under this regulation. 

The regulation at 7 CFR 6.33(a) also 

provides that the Licensing Authority 

will announce the annual fee for each 

license and that such fee will be set out 

in a notice to be published in the 

Federal Register. Accordingly, this 

notice sets out the fee for the licenses to 

be issued for the 2022 calendar year. 

The total cost to the Department of 

Agriculture of administering the 

licensing system for 2022 has been 

estimated to be $728,600.00 and the 

estimated number of licenses expected 

to be issued is 2,250. Of the total cost, 

$518,600.00 represents staff and 

supervisory costs directly related to 

administering the licensing system, and 

$210,000.00 represents other 

miscellaneous costs, including travel, 

publications, forms, and Automatic Data 

Processing (ADP) system support. 

Accordingly, notice is hereby given 

that the fee for each license issued to a 

person or firm for the 2022 calendar 

year, in accordance with 7 CFR 6.33, 

will be $324 per license. 

Lori Tortora, 

Licensing Authority.
