BILLING CODE 3410-02-P DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Commodity Credit Corporation Domestic Sugar Program—FY 2025 Reassignment of the Overall Sugar Marketing Allotment, Cane Sugar and Beet Sugar Marketing Allotments and Company Allocations and No Actions Under the Feedstock Flexibility Program AGENCY: Commodity Credit Corporation, U.S. Department of Agriculture. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA)is issuing this notice to: revise fiscal year
(FY)2025 (crop year 2024) beet sugar allocations to sugar beet processors; state cane sugar allotments and allocations to sugarcane processors; and to reassign FY 2025 cane sugar marketing allocations to raw cane sugar imports already anticipated. These actions apply to all domestic beet and cane sugar marketed in the United States from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025. USDA's Commodity Credit Corporation
(CCC)also announced today that it does not expect to purchase and sell sugar under the Feedstock Flexibility Program for crop year 2024, which runs from Oct. 1, 2024, to Sept. 30, 2025. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carlann Unger; telephone:
(773)573-5163; or email: *Carlann.Unger@usda.gov.* Individuals with disabilities who require alternative means for communication should contact the USDA Target Center at
(202)720-2600 (voice and text telephone (TTY mode)) or dial 711 for Telecommunications Relay service (both voice and text telephone users can initiate this call from any telephone). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Reassignments of FY 2025 Beet Sugar Allocations and Cane Sugar Allotments and Allocations In accordance with section 359e of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1359ee), after evaluating each sugar beet and sugarcane processor's ability to market its full allocation, USDA is transferring FY 2025 allocations from sugar beet processors with a surplus allocation to those with a deficit allocation. Similarly, USDA is transferring FY 2025 allocations from Florida sugarcane processors with a surplus allocation to Louisiana sugarcane processors with a deficit allocation. USDA has determined that, after these actions, domestic cane sugar supplies are still inadequate to fill the FY 2025 cane sugar marketing allotment. In accordance with 7 U.S.C. 1359ee(b)(1), USDA is reassigning 500,000 STRV of the cane allotment deficit to raw cane sugar imports already anticipated, given the absence of any CCC stocks of sugar. In Table 1 below, the amount of change in each processor's allocation is in the column labeled “Reassignments.” Each processor's allocation resulting from these changes is shown in the column labeled “Revised FY25 Allocations.” USDA is not reassigning any FY 2025 beet allocations to raw cane sugar imports at this time given the uncertainty about how much beet sugar will be produced from new crop sugar beets in the final two months (August-September) of FY 2025.
