ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is providing notice that the individual quota amounts for each foreign country and area in the category of ``Other specified countries and areas'' for imports of certain sugars, syrups, and molasses for the period August 1, 1994, through September 30, 1995, will be 8,468 metric tons, raw value. On August 8, 1994, the Secretary of Agriculture announced the total amount and quota period for the tariff-rate quota for these sugars, syrups and molasses at 1,322,978 metric tons (1,458,333 short tons), raw value, for the period August 1, 1994, through September 30, 1995. EFFECTIVE DATE: September 9, 1994. ADDRESSES: Inquiries may be mailed or delivered to Tom Hushek, Senior Economist, Office of Agricultural Affairs (Room 423A), 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, 202-395-5006, or Daniel Brinza, Office of the General Counsel, 202-395-7305. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 2011.303 of 15 CFR provides for the allocation of individual quota amounts to each foreign country and area in the category of ``Other specified countries and areas'' specified pursuant to Additional U.S. Note 3(b) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The individual quota amount is specified in 15 CFR 2011.303(b), and has normally been 7,258 metric tons, raw value for a 12-month quota period (October 1-September 30). However, the USTR is authorized under 15 CFR 2011.303(c)(2) to modify this individual tariff-rate quota amount to ensure an orderly transition in the circumstance of a change from an annual quota period (October 1-September 30) to another quota period. Notice of any such modification is to be published in the Federal Register. Notice On August 8, 1994, the Secretary of Agriculture determined and announced by press release that 1,322,978 metric tons, raw value of the aforementioned sugars, syrups and molasses may be entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, during the period of August 1, 1994 through September 30, 1995. This is a change from an annual tariff-rate quota period (October 1-September 30) to another quota period. Accordingly, in order to ensure an orderly transition, I have determined that, for the period August 1, 1994 through September 30, 1995, the individual quota amount for each of the foreign countries and areas in the category of ``Other specified countries and areas'' is 8,468 metric tons, raw value. Signed at Washington, DC, on September 1, 1994. Michael Kantor, United States Trade Representative. [FR Doc. 94-22111 Filed 9-7-94; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3190-01-M
