    Title: Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota Licensing Regulation.
    OMB Control Number: 0551-0001.
    Summary of Collection: The Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota 
regulation (7 CFR 6.20-6.37) 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 noncheese 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.
    Each quota year, applicants for historical, non-historical and 
designated licenses must certify their eligibility for the following 
quota year through the online Agricultural Trade License Administration 
System (ATLAS) platform. The ATLAS application process requires 
applicants to: (1) certify they are an importer, manufacturer, or 
exporter of certain dairy products; and (2) certify they meet the 
eligibility requirements of Sec.  6.23 of the Regulation. Applicants 
for non-historical licenses must request licenses in descending order 
of preference for specific products and countries listed on the form.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collected will be 
used by the Foreign Agricultural Service, Dairy Import Licensing Group, 
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. The Regulation requires records pertaining to an 
applicant's eligibility to be retained for 5 years after the end of a 
quota year.
    Description of Respondents: Importers and manufacturers of cheese 
and non-cheese dairy products, and exporters of non-cheese dairy 
products.
    Number of Respondents: 700.
    Frequency of Responses: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 394.
