To amend and extend the Sugar Act of 1948, as amended, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That section 101 (d) of the Sugar Act of 1948, as amended, is amended to read as follows: " (d) The term 'raw sugar' means any sugars (exclusive of liquid sugar from foreign countries having liquid sugar quotas), whether or not principally of crystalline structure, which are to be further refined or improved in quality to produce any sugars principally of crystalline structure or liquid sugar." SEC. 2. Section 101(e) of such Act is amended to read as follows: "(e) The term 'direct-consumption sugar' means any sugars principally of crystalline structure and any liquid sugar (exclusive of liquid sugar from foreign countries having liquid sugar quotas), which are not to be further refined or improved in quality." SEC. 3. Section 101(i) of such Act is amended by deleting the parenthetical word "(Clerget)". SEC. 4. Section 101 of such Act is amended by adding at the end thereof a new paragraph to read as follows: " (n) The term 'to be further refined or improved in quality' means to be subjected substantially to the processes of (1) affination or defecation, (2) clarification, and (3) further purification by adsorption or crystallization. The Secretary is authorized, after such hearing and upon such notice as he may by regulations prescribe, to determine whether specific processes to which sugars are subjected are sufficient to meet the requirements of this paragraph (n) and whether sugars of specific qualities are raw sugar within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this section, or direct-consumption sugar within the meaning of paragraph (e) of this section." SEC. 5. Section 201 of such Act is amended by striking in the second sentence thereof the words "1947 prior to the termination of price control of sugar" and inserting in lieu thereof "1947-1949".
