DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

August 24, 2021. 

The Department of Agriculture has 

submitted the following information 

collection requirement(s) to OMB for 

review and clearance under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. Comments are 

requested regarding: 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; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of burden including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments regarding this information 

collection received by September 27, 

2021 will be considered. Written 

comments and recommendations for the 

proposed information collection should 

be submitted within 30 days of the 

publication of this notice on the 

following website www.reginfo.gov/ 

public/do/PRAMain. Find this 

particular information collection by 

selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day 

Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or 

by using the search function. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number and the agency informs 

potential persons who are to respond to 

the collection of information that such 

persons are not required to respond to 

the collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Foreign Agricultural Service 

Title: Specialty Sugar Certificate 

Application. 

OMB Control Number: 0551–0025. 

Summary of Collection: The collect of 

information is necessary to fulfill the 

legal obligations of the regulation at 15 

CFR 2011 subpart B to issue specialty 

sugar certificates, letters to importers 

signed by the Foreign Agricultural 

Service (FAS) Certifying Authority, and 

ensuring that U.S. importers comply 

with the program’s requirements. The 

regulation sets forth the terms and 

conditions under which the Certifying 

Authority in FAS issues certificates to 

importers allowing them to enter 

specialty sugars under the tariff-rate 

quota (TRQ) for refined sugar. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

collected information will be used to: 

(1) Determine whether applicants for the 

program meet the regulation’s eligibility 

criteria; (2) ensure that sugar to be 

imported is specialty sugar and meets 

the requirements of the regulation; (3) 

audit participants’ compliance with the 

regulation; and (4) prevent entry of 

world-priced program sugar from 

entering the domestic commercial 

market instead of domestic specialty 

sugar market. The Certifying Authority 

needs the information to manage, plan, 

evaluate, and account for program 

activities. Less frequent collection or no 

collection would impede administration 

of the specialty sugar certificate program 

and reduce or eliminate imports 

essential to U.S. organic food and 

beverages processors.

or other for-profit.
