U.S. Customs Service to Determine Base Quantity of Fuel Ethyl Alcohol Imports

The U.S. Customs Service must determine the base quantity of fuel ethyl alcohol imports that can be imported with a zero percent local feedstock requirement, based on the domestic market for fuel ethyl alcohol in the U.S. during the 12-month period ending September 30, and use this quantity to establish the base quantity for imports, which is the greater of 60 million gallons or 7 percent of U.S. consumption as determined by the Commission.
