End-Use Certificate Program
AGENCY: | Farm Service Agency, Agriculture. |
ACTION: | Proposed Rule |
SUMMARY: | The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is proposing to amend regulations governing the End-Use Certificate Program for imported Canadian wheat to allow FSA to collect additional information regarding distinguishing characteristics of imported wheat. The proposal also will revise the definition of importer to include only the importer of record as recognized by the U.S. Customs Service. Lastly, FSA proposes to revise the deadline for submission of the End-Use Certificate from 15 work days to 10 work days after the date of entry. These changes are necessary to facilitate a cooperative effort between FSA and the U.S. Customs Service to make End-Use Certificates a part of the official entry summary package. These changes will also help ensure that Canadian wheat will not benefit from U.S.-export programs. |
