SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9002 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107– 171) established a program for the procurement of USDA designated biobased products by Federal agencies and a voluntary program for the labeling of USDA Certified Biobased Products. USDA refers to the Federal procurement preference program and the voluntary labeling program together as the BioPreferred® Program. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) (Pub. L. 110–246) and the Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Bill) (Pub. L. 113–79) continued the BioPreferred Program and made changes to the procedures for its implementation. The 2014 Farm Bill amends Section 9002 to include a directive that the BioPreferred Program shall ‘‘promote biobased products, including forest products, that apply an innovative approach to growing, harvesting, sourcing, procuring, processing, manufacturing, or application of biobased products regardless of the date of entry into the marketplace.’’ Thus, products that were previously considered to be mature market products (those that had a significant market share prior to 1972) and were ineligible for the BioPreferred Program, will now be included in the program if manufacturers demonstrate that they PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 apply an ‘‘innovative approach’’ in the life cycle of their product. Working in conjunction with the USDA Forest Products Laboratory, as required by the 2014 Farm Bill (Section 9002(h)), USDA is developing a process to evaluate the eligibility of biobased products for the BioPreferred Program based on the use of ‘‘innovative approaches’’ within the life cycle of the products. USDA is holding a public meeting to gather input from interested stakeholders on ‘‘innovation.’’ Dated: July 2, 2014. Gregory L. Parham, Assistant Secretary for Administration.
