Guidelines for AMS Oversight of Commodity Research and Promotion Programs

The Department of Agriculture (USDA) is seeking comments on the ``Guidelines for AMS Oversight of Commodity Research and Promotion Programs'' (Guidelines). USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) developed the guidelines to facilitate uniform oversight of national research and promotion programs which have been implemented under numerous Federal statutes. The guidelines are part of the findings and recommendations of the Research and Promotion Task Force (task force) that was created by Secretary Glickman in November 1998. The task force held a public meeting in March 1999 and held several working meetings to review the oversight responsibilities of AMS and board operations.
