Title: Exemption of Organic Producers From Research and Promotion/Marketing Order Assessment (PY-02-006 and FV-03-900-1)
Abstract: Under the 2002 Farm Bill, section 501 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (FAIR Act) was amended on May 13, 2002. The amendment exempts any person that produces and markets solely 100 percent organic products from paying assessments under a commodity promotion law. The FAIR Act governs all research and promotion programs and certain marketing order programs. Therefore, the Department of Agriculture is proposing amendments to the 16 research and promotion regulations and 28 applicable marketing order programs for which it has oversight. These amendments will be handled in two separate regulatory actions that will be published simultaneously.
