SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice has been reviewed under
Executive Order 12866 and Departmental Regulation 1512-1 and has been

Furthermore, to the extent, if any, that the provisions of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601) apply to this notice, the
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service, hereby certifies that this
notice will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. The adjustment of the country of origin from
which the quota article specified herein may be entered does not

to be imported from certain other countries.
Notice
Subchapter IV of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS) contains import limitations imposed on certain
dairy products, including certain chocolate crumb. U.S. note 3(a)(iii)
of subchapter IV of chapter 99 of the HTS permits the reallocation of
the quota quantity of a dairy article listed in chapter 99 among the
countries of origin specified for a given article if it is determined
that the quota quantity assigned to a particular country is not likely
to be entered from that country within a given calendar year. I hereby
determine that it is not likely that 1,750,000 kilograms of chocolate
crumb containing over 5.5 percent butterfat specified in HTS subheading
9904.10.63 for Australia will be entered from that country during
calendar year 1994.
Notice is hereby given that 1,750,000 kilograms of chocolate crumb
containing over 5.5 percent butterfat specified in HTS subheading
9904.10.63 for Australia may be imported from Australia, Ireland, the
Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom for the remainder of
the 1994 quota year.
The entire quota quantity for HTS subheading 9904.10.63 will revert
to Australia on January 1, 1995.
Issued at Washington, D.C. this 21st day of September 1994.
Christopher E. Goldthwait,
Acting Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
