Rules of Practice and Procedure Governing Proceedings Under Research, Promotion, and Education Programs

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is amending the Rules of Practice and Procedure Governing Proceedings under Research, Promotion, and Education Programs to make the headings for Part 1200 and its subparts more reflective of the programs covered by them; to delete inapplicable statutes from one subpart and to add three statutes to the other subpart; to redesignate subpart headings; to arrange the definitions in each subpart in alphabetical order; and to remove an incorrect citation. This rule also makes several minor and non-substantive changes for clarity and uniformity of style. These changes will make the rules of practice more accurate and easier to follow.
