USDA is proposing a rule to change the membership of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board (CBB) to reflect cattle inventory levels and changes in cattle and beef imports.
The changes would decrease the CBB’s membership from 101 to 99 members, as well as update the list of Qualified State Beef Councils after the Maryland Industry Beef Council voted to dissolve their state beef council.
Under the proposal, Idaho would gain one member, and Montana, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin would each lose one member.
Board membership is recalculated at least every three years. Comments on the proposed rule may be submitted until June 1. To submit a comment, search for document No. AMS-LP-22-0002 at regulations.gov.
