In the April 1, 2016, Federal Register, USDA's
AMS proposed to amend its Dairy Promotion and Research Order to
modify the number of National Dairy Promotion and Research Board
("Dairy Board") importer members. The total number of
domestic Dairy Board members would remain the same at 36, and the
total number of importer members would be reduced from two to one.
The Dairy Order requires that importer representation on the Dairy
Board be reviewed and adjusted at least once every three years to
reflect the proportional shares of the U.S. market served by
domestic production and imported dairy products.
