SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Specialty Sugar Import 

Certificates. 

OMB Number: 0551–0025. 

Expiration Date of Approval: March 

31, 2008. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: The quota system 

established by Presidential 

Proclamation 4941 of May 5, 1982 

prevented the importation of certain 

sugars used for specialized purposes 

which originated in countries which did 

not have quota allocations. Therefore, 

the regulation at 15 CFR part 2011 

(Allocation of Tariff-Rate Quota on 

Imported Sugars, Syrups, and Molasses, 

Subpart B—Specialty Sugar) established 

terms and conditions under which 

certificates are issued permitting U.S. 

importers holding certificates to enter 

specialty sugars from specialty sugar 

source countries at the in-quota tariff 

rates under the sugar tariff-rate quota 

(TRQ). Nothing in this subpart affects 

the ability to enter specialty sugars at 

the over-quota tariff rate. Applicants for 

certificates for the import of specialty 

sugars must supply the information 

required by 15 CFR 2011.205 to be 

eligible to receive a specialty sugar 

certificate. The specific information 

required on an application must be 

collected from those who wish to 

participate in the program in order to 

grant specialty sugar certificates, ensure 

that imported specialty sugar does not 

disrupt the current domestic sugar 

program, and administer the issuance of 

the certificates effectively. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 2 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Importers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

30. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 60 hours. 

Copies of this information collection 

can be obtained from Tamoria 

Thompson-Hall, the Agency Information 

Collection Coordinator, at (202) 690–

1690. 

Request for Comments: The public is 

invited to submit comments and 

suggestions to the above address 

regarding the accuracy of the burden 

estimate, ways to minimize the burden, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, or any other 

aspect of this collection of information. 

Comments on issues covered by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act are most 

useful to OMB if received within 30 

days of publication of the Notice and 

Request for Comments, but should be 

submitted no later than 60 days from the 

date of this publication to be assured of 

consideration. All responses to this 

notice will be summarized and included 

in the request for OMB approval. All 

comments will also be a matter of public 

record. Persons with disabilities who 

require an alternative means to 

communicate information (Braille, large 

print, audiotape, etc.) should contact 

USDA’s Target Center at (202) 720–2600
