Pork Promotion and Research
Pursuant to the Pork Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act (Act) of 1985 and the Order issued thereunder, this final rule increases the amount of the assessment per pound due on imported pork and pork products to reflect an increase in the 1993 six market average price for domestic barrows and gilts. This action brings the equivalent market value of the live animals from which such imported pork and pork products were derived in line with the market values of domestic porcine animals. This rule also revises the Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) numbers which identify imported live porcine animals, pork, and pork products to conform with recent changes in these numbers made by the United States Customs Service (USCS). These changes will facilitate the continued collection of assessments on imported porcine animals, pork, and pork products.
