Foreign Agricultural Service

    Title: Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota Licensing Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0551-0001.
    Summary of Collection: The Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota 
regulation (the Regulation) (7 CFR part 6) governs the administration 
of the import licensing system applicable to most dairy products 
subject to tariff-rate quotas (TRQs). The TRQs were established in the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States as a result of certain 
provisions in the Uruguay Round Agreement Act (Pub. L. 103-465) that 
converted existing absolute quotas to TRQs. Imports of nearly all 
cheese made from cow's milk (except soft-ripened cheese such as Brie) 
and certain non-cheese dairy products (including butter and dried milk) 
are subject to TRQs and the Regulation. Licenses are issued each quota 
year to eligible applicants and are valid for 12 months (January 1 
through December 31). Importers without licenses may enter dairy 
articles only at the over-quota tariff-rates. The Foreign Agricultural 
Service (FAS) will collect information using several forms.
    Need and Use of the Information: FAS will use the information to 
assure that the intent of the legislation is correctly administered and 
to determine eligibility to obtain benefits under the Regulation. If 
the information were collected less frequently, FSA would be unable to 
issue licenses on an annual basis in compliance with the Regulation.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other-for-profit; 
Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 700.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping, Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 459.
