Beef Promotion and Research; Board and State Beef Council
Addresses
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document updates the notice published in the Federal
Register on Friday, April 15, 1994 (59 FR 18095). This Notice provides
the addresses of the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board
(Board) and the current addresses of the 45 Qualified State Beef
Councils (QSBCs) which are authorized under the Cattlemen's Beef
Promotion and Research Order (Order) to receive assessments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ralph L. Tapp, Chief, Marketing
Programs Branch, 202/720-1115.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Beef Promotion and Research
Act of 1985 (Act) (7 U.S.C. 2901 et seq.), the Order was published in
the July 18, 1986, Federal Register (51 FR 26132). Regulations
implementing the Order were published in the October 1, 1986, issue of
the Federal Register (51 FR 35196).
The Order and the Regulations provide that, beginning October 1,
1986, cattle sold in the United States are subject to an assessment of
$1 per head. Persons who collect assessments from producers under the
Order and Regulations are required to remit those assessments to the
QSBC in the State where they reside or to the Board if there is no QSBC
located in their State. Imported cattle, beef, and beef products are
also subject to equivalent assessments; these are paid through the U.S.
Customs Service.
[[Page 50283]]
The Act required that a referendum be conducted by the Secretary
within 22 months after the issuance of the Order to determine if the
Order should be continued or suspended. Any person had the right to
demand and receive from the Board a one-time refund on cattle sold
during the period prior to the approval of the continuation of the
order pursuant to the referendum. On May 10, 1988, the referendum was
conducted and producers voted to continue the checkoff program. After
the passage of the referendum, refunds were no longer available.
This notice provides the current addresses of the Board and 45
QSBCs. Since the publication of the addresses in the Federal Register
on April 15, 1994 (59 FR 18095), one additional State Beef Council, the
New Jersey Beef Industry Council, has been certified by the Board.
However, some of the addresses have changed. QSBCs have different
addresses for different purposes. Accordingly, this notice includes two
columns for such addresses; one for inquires and general business and
one for remitting assessments and accompanying reports. For inquires
and general business, the address of the Board is: Cattlemen's Beef
Promotion and Research Board; P.O. Box 3316; 5420 South Quebec Street
(80111); Englewood, Colorado 80155. For remitting assessments and
accompanying reports, the address of the Board is Cattlemen's Beef
Promotion and Research Board; P.O. Box 17382; Denver, Colorado 80217-
0382.
