USDA Extends Comment Period
WASHINGTON - May 26/04 - SNS -- The organic industry in the United States has until June 25 to submit written comments on proposed changes to commodity research and promotion programs. The original deadline for submitting written comments was May 26, 2004.
This proposal would exempt producers and marketers of solely 100% organic products from paying commodity promotion assessments.
The 2002 Farm Bill directed USDA to issue regulations exempting any person who produces and markets solely 100% organic products and who does not produce any conventional or non-organic products from paying assessments under a commodity promotion law.
Comments may be sent via mail to Angela C. Snyder, Office of the Deputy Administrator, Poultry Programs, Agricultural Marketing Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1400 Independence Ave., SW, STOP 0256, Room 3932 South, Washington, D.C. 20250 or via fax at (202) 720 5631.
