Mushroom Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Order; Referendum Procedures

الملخص

This rule provides procedures which the Department of Agriculture (Department) will use in conducting the referendum to determine whether mushroom producers and importers favor continuance of the Mushroom Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Order (Order). In order to continue, the Order must be approved by a simple majority of producers and importers voting in the referendum and that majority must represent more than 50 percent of the mushrooms produced and imported by those voting in the referendum. These procedures will also apply to any subsequent referenda to amend, continue, or terminate the order.
