Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), [email protected] or

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 6.20-6.37) which governs the 
administration of the import licensing system applicable to most dairy 
products subject to tariff-rate quotas (TRQs). The importation of most 
cheese made from cow's milk and certain non-cheese dairy articles 
(butter, dried milks, and butter substitutes) are subject to TRQs and 
must be accompanied by an import license issued by the Department to 
enter at the lower tariff. Importers without licenses may enter these 
dairy articles, but are required to pay the higher tariff. The Foreign 
Agricultural Service (FAS) will collect information using several 
forms.
    Need and Use of the Information: FAS will use the collected 
information in the administration of the tariff-rate import quota 
licensing system for certain dairy products and the issuance of 
licenses in accordance with the Regulation. If the information were 
collected less frequently, FSA would be unable to issue licenses on an 
annual basis in compliance with the Import Regulation.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other-for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 700.
    Frequency of Responses: Record keeping, Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 479.
