7 CFR Part 1530
Sugar Re-Export Program, the Sugar-Containing Products Re-Export
Program, and the Polyhydric Alcohol Program
AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.
ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) is withdrawing the
proposed rule published at 70 FR 3150 on January 21, 2005, to implement
Chapter 17 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), Additional U.S. Note 6, which authorizes entry of raw cane sugar
under subheading 1701.11.20 of the HTS for the production of polyhydric
alcohols, except polyhydric alcohols for use as a substitute for sugar
in human food consumption, or to be refined and re-exported in refined
form or in sugar-containing products, or to be substituted for
domestically produced raw cane sugar that has been or will be exported.
The proposed rule would have revised the current regulation at 7 CFR
part 1530.
DATES: Effective date: May 4, 2010.

Branch, Import Programs and Export Reporting Division, Foreign

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The U.S. and Mexican sugar markets have become increasingly
integrated since duty-free, quota-free trade in sugar was fully
implemented on January 1, 2008 under the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA). FAS is withdrawing this proposed rule because market
conditions have changed. FAS intends to publish an advance notice of
proposed rulemaking concerning trade under the Sugar Re-Export Program
with Mexico, requesting comments on revisions to the regulation, in
particular with respect to issues not fully addressed in previous
comments on the proposed rule that is being withdrawn by this action.
Signed at Washington, DC on the 26th of April, 2010.
John D. Brewer,
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
