SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Foreign Agricultural Service, under a 
delegation of authority from the Secretary of Agriculture, administers 
the Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota Licensing Regulation codified at 7 
CFR 6.20-6.36 that provides for the issuance of licenses to import 
certain dairy articles under tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) as set forth in 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. These dairy 
articles may only be entered into the United States at the low-tier 
tariff by or for the account of a person or firm to whom such licenses 
have been issued and only in accordance with the terms and conditions 
of the regulation.
    Licenses are issued on a calendar year basis, and each license 
authorizes the license holder to import a specified quantity and type 
of dairy article from a specified country of origin. The Import 
Policies and Export Reporting Division, Foreign Agricultural Service, 
U.S. Department of Agriculture, issues these licenses and, in 
conjunction with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Department of 
Homeland Security, monitors their use.
    The regulation at 7 CFR 6.34(a) states: ``Whenever a historical 
license (Appendix 1) is not issued to an applicant pursuant to the 
provisions of Sec.  6.23, is permanently surrendered or is revoked by 
the Licensing Authority, the amount of such license will be transferred 
to Appendix 2.'' Section 6.34(b) provides that the cumulative annual 
transfers will be published in the Federal Register. Accordingly, this 
document sets forth the revised Appendices for the 2016 tariff-rate 
quota year.

    Issued at Washington, DC, the 13th day of July, 2016.
Ronald Lord,
Licensing Authority.
