SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Foreign Agricultural Service announces
that all sugar entering the United States under the FY 2021 raw sugar
TRQ will be permitted to enter U.S. Customs territory through December
31, 2021, two months later than the previous extension of October 31.
The Department previously announced on August 24, 2021, that sugar
entering under the FY 2021 raw sugar TRQ will be permitted to enter
U.S. Customs territory through October 31, 2021, a month later than the
usual last entry date. Additional U.S. Note 5(a)(iv) of Chapter 17 of
the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule provides: ``(iv) Sugar entering the
United States during a quota period established under this note may be
charged to the previous or subsequent quota period with the written
approval of the Secretary.'' The Secretary's authority under paragraph
(a)(iv) of Additional U.S. Note 5 has been delegated to the Under
Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs (7 CFR 2.26). The
Under Secretary has subsequently delegated this authority to the
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (7 CFR 2.601).
These actions are being taken after a determination that additional
supplies of raw cane sugar are required in the U.S. market. USDA will
closely monitor stocks, consumption, imports and all sugar market and
program variables on an ongoing basis.

Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
