SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Dairy 

Tariff-Rate Import Quota Licensing 

Regulation promulgated by USDA and 

codified at 7 CFR 6.20–6.37 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 Dairy 

Import Licensing Program, Import 

Policies and Export Reporting Division, 

Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA, 

and the 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 in order to 

defray USDA’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 2011 calendar year. 

Notice: The total cost to USDA of 

administering the licensing system for 

2011 has been estimated to be $333,000, 

and the estimated number of licenses 

expected to be issued is 2,300. Of the 

total cost, $280,000 represents staff and 

supervisory costs directly related to 

administering the licensing system, and 

$53,000 represents other miscellaneous 

costs, including travel, postage, 

publications, forms, and Automated 

Data Processing system support. 

Accordingly, notice is hereby given 

that the fee for each license issued to a 

person or firm for the 2011 calendar 

year, in accordance with 7 CFR 6.33, 

will be $150 per license. 

Issued at Washington, DC, August 11, 

2010.
