accordance with Federal recordkeeping 

regulations. This requirement is 

provided in the FMPP Guidelines, 

which are published at AMS’ Marketing 

Services Branch Web site at: http:// 

www.ams.usda.gov/FMPP. 

The 2008 Farm Bill increases funding 

for grants under FMPP, allocating 

mandatory funds from the Commodity 

Credit Corporation, from 2009 through 

2012 with $5 million for each of FY 

2009 through 2010, and $10 million for 

each of FY 2011 and 2012. Additionally, 

not less than 10 percent of the grant 

funds in a fiscal year shall be used to 

support the use of electronic benefit 

transfers (EBT) for Federal nutrition 

programs at farmers’ markets. Eligible 

EBT projects must (1) not be used for 

funding the ongoing cost of carrying out 

any EBT project; and (2) demonstrate a 

plan to continue to provide EBT card 

access at one or more farmers’ markets 

following the receipt of a grant. 

With the increase in funds available 

annually and focus of funding new EBT 

projects, AMS anticipates an increase in 

the number of applications submitted. 

As such, AMS submits the following 

revisions in information collection:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Initial FY 2010 State Allotments and 

Company Allocations 

On September 25, 2009, CCC 

established the initial FY 2010 

allocation of the sugar overall allotment 

quantity (OAQ) at 9,235,250 short tons, 

raw value (tons). As required by the 

Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as 

amended, the sugar beet sector was 

allotted 54.35 percent of the OAQ 

(5,019,358 tons), while the cane sugar 

sector was allotted 45.65 percent 

(4,215,892 tons). CCC distributed the 

sector allotments among domestic sugar 

beet and sugarcane processors according 

to the statute and the regulations in 7 

CFR part 1435 and made several 

structural changes in the allocation to 

certain sugarcane processors. 

CCC combined the Louisiana cane 

sugar allocations of Alma Plantation, 

L.L.C, Cajun Sugar Cooperative, Inc., 

Cora-Texas Mfg. Co. Inc., Lafourche 

Sugars, L.L.C., Louisiana Sugar Cane 

Cooperative, Inc., Lula-Westfield, L.L.C. 

and St. Mary Sugar Cooperative, Inc. 

into one allocation under the name of 

Louisiana Sugar Cane Products, Inc. 

(LSCPI). CCC also modified the FY 2010 

cane sugar allocations of mills in 

Louisiana to reflect grower petitions to 

transfer allocation commensurate with 

their cane deliveries to the new mill of 

their choice. CCC permanently 

transferred allocations between 

Louisiana mills for those growers whose 

petitions met all CCC requirements. 

However, for those growers whose 

petitions did not meet all CCC 

requirements, CCC temporarily 

increased the FY 2010 allocations of the 

recipient mills specified in the 

petitions. Surplus allocation from 

Hawaii was reassigned to these recipient 

mills (see below). The allocations of the 

mills which the growers asked to leave 

were not reduced. 

In FY 2004, CCC determined that 

Puerto Rican processors permanently 

terminated operations because no sugar 

had been processed for two complete 

years. The Puerto Rico allocation of 

6,356 tons was reassigned to Hawaii in 

FY 2010, as required, and then further 

reassigned to the mainland sugarcaneproducing States. This reassignment 

will also occur in FY 2011 as Hawaii is 

again not expected to use all of its cane 

sugar allotment. 

First Revision to the FY 2010 Sugar 

Marketing Allotment Program 

The May 7, 2010, announcement of 

sugar marketing allotment changes 

implemented CCC’s reassignment of 

200,000 tons of surplus cane sugar 

allotments to imports, announced on 

April 23, 2010. The May 7, 2010, 

revisions included a reassignment of 

projected surplus beet sugar marketing 

allocations under the FY 2010 Sugar 

Marketing Allotment Program from beet 

sugar processors with surplus allocation 

to those with deficit allocation. Further, 

CCC noted the addition of the allocation 

of Wyoming Sugar Company, LLC 

(WSC) to the allocation of Minn-Dak 

Farmers Cooperative (MDFC). This was 

done in accordance with section 

359d(b)(2)(G) of the Agricultural 

Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended (7 

U.S.C. 1359dd(b)(2)(G)) to reflect 

MDFC’s purchase of WSC’s Worland, 

WY, factory in December 2009. 

Second Revision to the FY 2010 Sugar 

Marketing Allotment Program 

USDA revised cane processor 

allocations, and cane State allotments, 

on August 19, 2010, to implement the 

July 6, 2010, reassignment of 300,000 

tons of surplus domestic cane sugar 

allotment to a raw Tariff Rate Quota 

(TRQ) import increase. Since all cane 

processors were still expected to have 

more allocation than could be fulfilled 

by domestically-produced cane sugar in 

FY 2010, CCC reassigned an additional 

200,000 tons of surplus cane allotment 

to raw cane sugar imports already 

expected from non-TRQ sources. With 

respect to the beet sector, CCC on 

August 19, 2010 reassigned surplus beet 

sector allotment from beet processors 

not expected to fill their allocation to 

beet processors still requiring allocation 

to market all their FY 2010 supply. CCC 

then determined that 170,000 tons of 

beet sugar allotment could not be filled 

by the beet sector and the surplus was 

reassigned to raw cane sugar imports 

already expected from non-TRQ 

sources. In total, CCC reassigned 

670,000 tons of surplus beet and cane 

sugar allotments to raw cane sugar 

imports—300,000 tons to an increase in 

the raw sugar tariff-rate quota per the 

July 6, 2010, announcement and 

370,000 tons to raw cane sugar imports 

already expected from non-TRQ sources 

on August 19th. Final FY 2010 beet and 

cane sector allotments were reduced to 

4,849,358 and 3,515,892 tons, 

respectively. 

Initial FY 2011 Sugar Marketing 

Allotments and Processor Allocations 

On August 19, 2010, CCC further 

announced the initial FY 2011 OAQ of 

9,235,250 tons, the same level as FY 

2010, as well as sugar beet and 

sugarcane sector allotments and 

allocations. Establishing the OAQ at this 

level will supply over 85 percent of 

expected FY 2011 domestic sugar needs 

and permit domestic sugarcane and 

sugar beet processors to market all of 

their expected sugar production in FY 

2011. Processors are expected to be able 

to market all of their expected 

production in FY 2011 because the 

market is expected to be firm—domestic 

demand is projected to be strong relative 

to available supplies and prices are 

expected to remain firm. Due to this 

expected firm market situation, CCC 

announced that it would not implement 

the Feedstock Flexibility Program (FFP) 

or the Louisiana Proportionate Share 

Program for FY 2011. CCC also 

established a beet allocation for a new 

beet processor who acquired an existing 

factory with production history. 

On August 19, 2010, CCC distributed 

the FY 2011 beet sugar allotment of 

5,019,358 tons (54.35 percent of the 

OAQ) among the sugar beet processors 

and the cane sugar allotment of 

4,215,892 tons (45.65 percent of the 

OAQ) among the sugarcane States and 

processors, as required by the 

Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as 

amended. The accompanying table is 

identical to the August 19 allotments. 

The allotments recognize the sale by 

Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative (MDFC) 

of its beet processing factory located in 

Worland, Wyoming to Wyoming Sugar 

Growers, LLC (WSG). As a result, 

0.8373168 percent of the total beet sugar 

marketing allotment and the associated 

production history will be transferred 

from MDFC to WSG, effective October 1, 

2010. In addition, the allotments reflect 

reassignment of Puerto Rico’s allocation 

of 6,356 tons to Hawaii, and then further 

reassignment to the mainland 

sugarcane-producing States, because 

Hawaii is not expected to use all of its 

cane sugar allotment.
