Regulation 7 CFR part 1530 authorizes the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) to issue under particular circumstance import licenses to enter raw cane sugar exempt from the tariff-rate quota (TRQ) for raw cane sugar imports. Raw cane sugar exempt from the TRQ enters under three conditions. An equivalent quantity of refined sugar must be: (1) exported as refined sugar; (2) exported as an ingredient in sugar containing products; or (3) used in productions of certain polyhydric alcohols.

There is an adjusted decrease in the number of responses from 1,653 to 1,412, a minus of 241, while the burden hours expanded from 410 to 481, a plus of 71. The number of respondents slightly decreased to 172 from 202. Decreased responses come from a smaller difference between domestic and international refined sugar prices. This reduced price differential makes the license less valuable to the licensee. Issuing 14 new licenses required more burden hours from program participants, who must explain documents to be used in a proposed documentation agreement.
