Article of Cheese

in

Continuing my occasional theme of poking fun at the Federal Register (see this post and this one), here's another fascinating bit of insight into our weird republic:

Quarterly Update to Annual Listing of Foreign Government Subsidies on Articles of Cheese Subject to an In-Quota Rate of Duty

Section 702 of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (as amended) (``the Act'') requires the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') to determine, in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, whether any foreign government is providing a subsidy with respect to any article of cheese subject to an in-quota rate of duty, as defined in section 702(h) of the Act, and to publish an annual list and quarterly updates of the type and amount of those subsidies. We hereby provide the Department's quarterly update of subsidies on articles of cheese that were imported during the period July 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007.

You can read the full text here, but even after doing that, I'm left wondering: exactly what is an "article of cheese"? I'm pretty sure this posting would count as an article about cheese, but I don't receive any foreign subsidies, so hopefully The Act (as amended) won't require The Department to list dovdox.com next year.
