Adjustment of Appendices Under the Dairy Tariff-Rate Quota Import 
Licensing Regulation for the 2017 Tariff-Rate Quota Year

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the revised appendices under the Dairy 
Tariff-Rate Import Quota Licensing Regulation for the 2017 quota year 
reflecting the cumulative annual transfers from Appendix 1 to Appendix 
2 for certain dairy product import licenses permanently surrendered by 
licensees or revoked by the Licensing Authority.

DATES: September 13, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Abdelsalam El-Farra, Dairy Import 
Licensing Program, Import Policies and Export Reporting Division, U.S. 
Department of Agriculture, at (202) 720-9439; or by email at: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Foreign Agricultural Service, under a 
delegation of authority from the Secretary of Agriculture, administers 
the Dairy Tariff-Rate Quota Import 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 by notice in the Federal Register each 
year. Accordingly, this document sets forth the revised Appendices for 
the 2017 tariff-rate quota year below.

    Issued at Washington, DC on July 21, 2017.
