Foreign Agricultural Service
Title: Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota Licensing Program.
OMB Control Number: 0551-0001.
Summary of Collection: The Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota
regulation (the Regulation) (7 CFR part 6) governs the administration
of the import licensing system applicable to most dairy products
subject to tariff-rate quotas (TRQs). The TRQs were established in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States as a result of certain
provisions in the Uruguay Round Agreement Act (Pub. L. 103-465) that
converted existing absolute quotas to TRQs. Imports of nearly all
cheese made from cow's milk (except soft-ripened cheese such as Brie)
and certain non-cheese dairy products (including butter and dried milk)
are subject to TRQs and the Regulation. Licenses are issued each quota
year to eligible applicants and are valid for 12 months (January 1
through December 31). Importers without licenses may enter dairy
articles only at the over-quota tariff-rates. The Foreign Agricultural
Service (FAS) will collect information using several forms.
Need and Use of the Information: FAS will use the information to
assure that the intent of the legislation is correctly administered and
to determine eligibility to obtain benefits under the Regulation. If
the information were collected less frequently, FSA would be unable to
issue licenses on an annual basis in compliance with the Regulation.
Description of Respondents: Business or other-for-profit;
Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 700.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping, Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 459.
