FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard P. Warsack, Dairy Import Quota

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice has been reviewed under 
Executive Order 12866 and Departmental Regulation 1512-1 and has been 
determined not to be a significant regulatory action since it will not 
have any of the significant effects specified in that order. 
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 
restrict the ability of importers to import this quota article, but 
only permits 1,750,000 kilograms of the article allocated to Australia 
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.
