information would not meaningfully 

alter TVA’s analysis of impacts. 

Mitigation Measures 

During the environmental review, 

TVA identified and considered ways in 

which the impacts associated with the 

mooring and use of nonnavigable 

houseboats and floating cabins could be 

reduced and mitigated and included in 

the alternatives a number of proposals 

to reduce or eliminate ongoing or 

potential future impacts. TVA would 

require that owners of these structures 

adhere to permit conditions and 

minimum standards, many of which are 

intended to mitigate potential impacts 

to the environment. These minimum 

standards have been established through 

formal rulemaking processes and 

address water quality, flotation 

materials, public safety mooring 

practices, size, and navigation. 

All floating cabins, including 

nonnavigable houseboats that have been 

previously permitted by TVA, must 

comply with the new standards by a 

specified deadline. Non-compliance 

with these terms could result in the 

termination or denial of the permit and 

removal from the reservoir, consistent 

with timeframes identified in the WIIN 

Act. The requirements and the 

successful implementation of an 

enforcement and compliance system 

will reduce environmental impacts 

associated with the mooring and use of 

these structures on TVA reservoirs. 

Because this is a programmatic NEPA 

review, measures to reduce potential 

environmental impacts of site-specific 

activities associated with this policy 

were not identified. Additional 

environmental reviews would be 

required if changes to specific marina 

operations are proposed affecting 

nonnavigable houseboats and floating 

cabins and additional mitigation 

measures may be identified. 

To address potential effects of 

implementing the policy on cultural and 

historic resources, TVA completed a 

programmatic agreement in May 2016 

with the State Historic Preservation 

Officers (SHPO) of Alabama, Georgia, 

Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee 

and Virginia. This programmatic 

agreement was amended and executed 

in January 2021. Under the agreement, 

TVA will consult with the appropriate 

SHPO and consulting parties when 

reviewing either plans submitted to 

TVA by marina owners related to harbor 

limits or plans for individual floating 

cabin owners moored outside of marina 

harbor limits.

Refined and Specialty Sugar, and 

Sugar-Containing Products 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Office of the United 

States Trade Representative is providing 

notice of allocations of the Fiscal Year 

(FY) 2022 (October 1, 2021 through 

September 30, 2022) in-quota quantity 

of the tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) for 

imported raw cane sugar, certain sugars, 

syrups and molasses (also known as 

refined sugar), specialty sugar, and 

sugar-containing products. 

DATES: The changes made by this notice 

are applicable as of September 16, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin 

Nicholson, Office of Agricultural 

Affairs, at 202–395–9419, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to Additional U.S. Note 5 to Chapter 17 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (HTSUS), the United 

States maintains TRQs for imports of 

raw cane sugar and refined sugar. 

Pursuant to Additional U.S. Note 8 to 

Chapter 17 of the HTSUS, the United 

States maintains a TRQ for imports of 

sugar-containing products. 

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 U.S. Trade Representative under 

Presidential Proclamation 6763 (60 FR 

1007). 

On September 13, 2021, the 

Administrator of the Foreign 

Agricultural Service of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture 

(Administrator) announced the sugar 

program provisions for FY2022. The 

Administrator announced an in-quota 

quantity of the TRQ for raw cane sugar 

for FY2022 of 1,117,195 metric tons raw 

value (MTRV) (conversion factor: 1 

metric ton raw value = 1.10231125 short 

tons raw value), which is the minimum 

amount to which the United States is 

committed under the World Trade 

Organization (WTO) Agreement. The 

U.S. Trade Representative is allocating 

this quantity (1,117,195 MTRV) to the 

following countries in the amounts 

specified below:

These allocations are based on the 

countries’ historical shipments to the 

United States. The allocations of the inquota quantities of the raw cane sugar 

TRQ to countries that are net importers 

of sugar are conditioned on receipt of 

the appropriate verifications of origin. 

Certificates for quota eligibility must 

accompany imports from any country 

for which an allocation has been 

provided. 

On September 13, 2021, the 

Administrator also announced the 

establishment of the in-quota quantity of 

the FY2022 refined sugar TRQ at 

222,000 MTRV, for which the sucrose 

content, by weight in the dry state, must 

have a polarimeter reading of 99.5 

degrees or more. This amount includes 

the minimum level to which the United 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 177 / Thursday, September 16, 2021 / Notices 51713 

States is committed under the WTO 

Agreement (22,000 MTRV of which 

1,656 MTRV is reserved for specialty 

sugar) and an additional 200,000 MTRV 

for specialty sugars. The U.S. Trade 

Representative is allocating the refined 

sugar TRQ as follows: 10,300 MTRV to 

Canada, 2,954 MTRV to Mexico, and 

7,090 MTRV to be administered on a 

first-come, first-served basis. 

Imports of all specialty sugar will be 

administered on a first-come, firstserved basis in five tranches. The 

Administrator has announced that the 

total in-quota quantity of specialty sugar 

will be the 1,656 MTRV reserved within 

the WTO minimum plus an additional 

200,000 MTRV. The first tranche of 

1,656 MTRV will open on October 1, 

2021. All types of specialty sugars are 

eligible for entry under this tranche. The 

second tranche of 60,000 MTRV will 

open on October 8, 2021. The third 

tranche of 60,000 MTRV will open on 

January 21, 2022. The fourth tranche of 

40,000 MTRV will open on April 15, 

2022. The fifth tranche of 40,000 MTRV 

will open on July 15, 2022. The second, 

third, fourth, and fifth tranches will be 

reserved for organic sugar and other 

specialty sugars not currently produced 

commercially in the United States or 

reasonably available from domestic 

sources. 

With respect to the in-quota quantity 

of 64,709 metric tons of the TRQ for 

imports of certain sugar-containing 

products maintained under Additional 

U.S. Note 8 to chapter 17 of the HTSUS, 

the U.S. Trade Representative is 

allocating 59,250 metric tons to Canada. 

The remainder of the in-quota quantity, 

5,459 metric tons, is available for other 

countries on a first-come, first-served 

basis. 

Raw cane sugar, refined and specialty 

sugar, and sugar-containing products for 

FY2022 TRQs may enter the United 

States as of October 1, 2021.
