National Dairy Promotion and Research Program

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Announcement of finding.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) hereby gives notice 
that no changes will be made to the current distribution of domestic 
National Dairy Promotion and Research Board (Dairy Board) members in 12 
regions as outlined in Section 1150.131(b) of the Dairy Research and 
Promotion Order (Dairy Order). The Dairy Order provides that the Dairy 
Board shall review the geographic distribution of milk production 
throughout the United States (U.S.) and, if warranted, shall recommend 
to the Secretary a reapportionment of the regions and/or modification 
of the number of domestic members from the regions in order to better 
reflect the geographic distribution of milk production volumes in the 
U.S. The number of domestic Dairy Board members was last modified in 
2011 based on 2010 U.S. milk production.

DATES: Effective date: September 13, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jill Hoover, Deputy Director, 
Promotion, Research, and Planning Division, Dairy Program, AMS, USDA, 
1400 Independence Ave. SW., Room 2958-S, Stop 0233, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 
1983 authorizes a national program for dairy product promotion, 
research and nutrition education. Congress found that it is in the 
public interest to authorize the establishment of an orderly procedure 
for financing (through assessments on all milk produced in the U.S. for 
commercial use and on imported dairy products) and carrying out a 
coordinated program of promotion designed to strengthen the dairy 
industry's position in the marketplace and to maintain and expand 
domestic and foreign markets and uses for fluid milk and dairy 
products.
    Section 1150.131 of the Dairy Order (7 CFR 1150.131) provides that 
the Dairy Board shall review the geographic distribution of milk 
production throughout the U.S. and, if warranted, shall recommend to 
the Secretary a reapportionment of the regions and/or modification of 
the number of members from the regions in order to better reflect the 
geographic distribution of milk production volume in the U.S. The Dairy 
Order is administered by a 37-member Dairy Board, 36 members 
representing 12 geographic regions within the U.S. and 1 representing 
importers. The number of domestic Dairy Board members was last modified 
in 2011 based on 2010 U.S. milk production.
    Based on a review of the 2014 geographic distribution of milk 
production, the Dairy Board has concluded that the number of Dairy 
Board members and regions represented should be maintained. This 
finding was submitted by the Dairy Board, which administers the Dairy 
Order.
    In 2014, total milk production was 206,586 million pounds and each 
of the Dairy Board members would represent 5,738.5 million pounds of 
milk. Table 1 summarizes by region, the volume of milk production 
distribution for 2014, the percentage of total milk production, and the 
regions and number of Dairy Board seats for each region.
