P art 821S ugar Quotas SUGAR QUOTAS FOR 1948

By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of Agriculture by the Sugar Act of 1948 61 Stat. 922 and the Admin istrative Procedure Act 60 Stat. 237, General Sugar Quota Regulations, Series 10, No. 1 13 P. R. 133 as amended 13
P. R. 1303, 3109, 4009, 4660, establishing quotas for 1948, are hereby amended as hereinafter set forth.
Basis and purpose. This amendment is issued pursuant to the Sugar Act of 1948 and is made for the purpose of changing the effective date of Amend ment 4 to General Sugar Quota Regula tions, Series 10, No. 1, and to prorate among the foreign countries other than Cuba and the Republic of the Philippines that part of the prorations of the basic quota to such foreign countries remain ing unfilled on September 1. This amendment also reallots to certain for eign countries the unfilled portions of the Philippine deficit heretofore allotted to other foreign countries.
Among other things, Am endm ents, which was published in the F ederal R egister on August 12, 1948, revised the basic quota for foreign countries other than Cuba and the Republic of the Phil ippines. This change in such quota re sulted from the revision of the deter mination of sugar consumption require ments made by the Secretary of Agri culture on July 26, 1948. At the same time the proration of such basic quota among the foreign countries was also re vised. Section 204 b of the act pro vides that if on the first day of Sep tember in any calendar year any part or all of any such proration to a foreign country has not been filled the Secre tary may revise the prorations and allot the unfilled portions to those foreign countries which have filled their prora tions by such date. In order to accom
plish the objectives of the act, particu larly those relating to consumer pro tection and the promotion of export trade, it is deemed necessary to reallo cate the unfilled prorations of the quota based on the revised estimate of con sumption made July 26,1948. To do this, such revised prorations must be made effective before September 1. Accord ingly, it is hereby found that compliance with the effective date requirement of the Administrative Procedure Act is imprac ticable and contrary to the public inter est and Amendment 4 shall become ef fective on the date of its publication in the F ederal R egister.
This amendment revises the prorations to foreign countries other than Cuba and the Republic of the Philippines of the basic quota for such foreign countries and reallots to certain foreign countries the unfilled prorations of the Philippine deficit allotted to other foreign countries other than Cuba. In order to afford af fected countries adequate opportunity to ship the additional sugar authorized by this amendment, and thereby protect the interest of consumers, it is essential that the revised prorations be made effective immediately. It should be noted that the Act accords to each country the right to import the amount of its basic prora tion by providing that no reduction therein shall be made by reason of a determination under section 204 b.
Therefore, it is hereby determined and found that compliance with the notice, procedure and effective date require ments of the Administrative Procedure Act is unnecessary, impracticable and contrary to the public interest and the amendments herein made shall become effective on the date of their publication in the F ederal R egister.
General Sugar Quota Regulations, Se ries 10, No. 1 13 F. R. 133 as amended 13 F. R. 1303, 3109, 4009, 4660 are hereby further amended as follows:
1. The effective date of Amendment 4
to these regulations is hereby changed to August 12, 1948.
2. Section 821.5 is amended by adding thereto new paragraphs g and h as follows:
