OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
Country Allocation of the Tariff-Rate Quota for Certain Imported
Sugars, Syrups, and Molasses
AGENCY: Office of the United States Trade Representative.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is
providing notice of the country-by-country allocations of the tariff-
rate quota for certain imported sugars, syrups, and molasses
established for the period January 1, 1995, through September 30, 1995.
The new allocations replace the allocations previously made for the
period of August 1, 1994, through September 30, 1995.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Inquiries may be mailed or delivered to Tom Hushek, Senior
Economist, Office of Agricultural Affairs (Room 421), or to Daniel
Brinza, Senior Advisor and Special Counsel for Natural Resources,
Office of the General Counsel (Room 223); Office of the United States
Trade Representative, 600 Seventeenth Street, Washington, DC 20506.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom Hushek, Office of Agricultural
Affairs, 202-395-6127, or Daniel Brinza, Office of the General Counsel,
202-395-7305.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Presidential Proclamation No. 6763 of
December 23, 1994 established a tariff-rate quota for certain sugars,
syrups, and molasses effective January 1, 1995, to implement the
Uruguay Round Agreements approved by the Congress in the Uruguay Round
Agreements Act (URAA) (P.L. 103-465). This tariff-rate quota replaced
the tariff-rate quota that had been in effect previously. Presidential
Proclamation No. 6763 also provided an additional amount under the
tariff-rate quota for the period January 1 through September 30, 1995,
of 8,000 metric tons, raw value, of refined sugars originating in
Canada.
Presidential Proclamation No. 6763 also delegated to the United
States Trade Representative (USTR) the President's authority under
section 404(d)(3) of the URAA (19 U.S.C. 3601) to allocate the in-quota
quantity of a tariff-rate quota for any agricultural product among
supplying countries or customs areas and to modify any allocation as
the President determines appropriate.
Since the tariff-rate quota established by Presidential
Proclamation No. 6763 replaced the previous tariff-rate quota, USTR is
providing notice of the allocation of the new tariff-rate quota for the
quota period January 1, 1995, through September 30, 1995.
Notice

January 1 through September 30, 1995, is allocated to each of the
following countries and customs areas in an amount equal to the
remaining quantity available, if any, from the allocation for that

announced on July 1, 1993. The allocations for the quota period which
began on August 1, 1994, were announced by USTR on August 11, 1994.
Signed at Washington, DC, on March 24, 1995.
