Beef Promotion and Research; Board and State Beef Council 
Addresses

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document updates the Notice published in the Federal 
Register on Monday, October 15, 1990 (55 FR 41730). This Notice 
provides the addresses of the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research 
Board (Board) and the current addresses of the 44 Qualified State Beef 
Councils (QSBCs) which are authorized under the Cattlemen's Beef 
Promotion and Research Order (Order) to receive assessments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ralph L. Tapp, Chief, Marketing 
Programs Branch 202/720-1115.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Beef Promotion and Research 
Act (Act) (7 U.S.C. 2901 et. seq.), the Order was published in the July 
18, 1986, Federal Register (51 FR 26132). Regulations implementing the 
Order were published in the October 1, 1986, issue of the Federal 
Register (51 FR 35196).
    The Order and the Regulations provide that, beginning October 1, 
1986, cattle sold in the United States are subject to an assessment of 
$1 per head. Persons who collect assessments from producers under the 
Order and Regulations are required to remit those assessments to the 
QSBC in the State where they reside or to the Board if there is no QSBC 
located in their State.
    Imported cattle, beef, and beef products are also subject to 
equivalent assessments; these are paid through the U.S. Customs 
Service.
    The Act (7 U.S.C. 2901 et. seq.) required that a referendum be 
conducted by the Secretary within 22 months after the issuance of the 
Order to determine if the Order should be continued or suspended. Any 
person had the right to demand and receive from the Board a one-time 
refund on cattle sold during the period prior to the approval of the 
continuation of the order pursuant to the referendum. On May 10, 1988, 
the referendum was conducted and producers voted to continue the 
checkoff program. After the passage of the referendum, refunds were no 
longer available.
    This Notice provides the current addresses of the Board and 44 
QSBCs. Since the publication of the addresses in the Federal Register 
on October 15, 1990 (55 FR 41730), no additional State Beef Councils 
have been certified by the Board. However, some of the addresses have 
changed. QSBCs have different addresses for different purposes. 
Accordingly, this notice includes two columns for such addresses; one 
for inquires and general business and one for remitting assessments and 
accompanying reports. For inquires and general business, the address of 
the Board is Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board; P.O. Box 
3316; Englewood, Colorado 80155. For remitting assessments and 
accompanying reports, the address of the Board is Cattlemen's Beef 
Promotion and Research Board; P.O. Box 27-275; Kansas City, Missouri 
64180-0001.

                                 Addresses of the Qualified State Beef Councils
