organizations representing cotton
producers and importers (76 FR 31573).
Five comments, including comments
from four certified producer
organizations that nominate producers
to the Cotton Board, claimed strong
support for the continuance of the
program, noting that the administration
of the Act has been proper, carries out
the intent and purpose in a timely and
superior manner, and requires no
changes or adjustment.
USDA reviewed the Cotton Research
and Promotion Program major program
activities and accomplishments,
including third-party evaluations of
advertising and marketing activities and
other functional areas; the results of
producer and importer awareness and
satisfaction surveys; and data from the
Foreign Agricultural Service. USDA also
reviewed the results of the Cotton
Board’s 2011 independent program
evaluation, which assessed the
effectiveness of the Cotton Research and
Promotion Program; the strength of
cotton’s competitive position; the ability
to maintain and expand domestic and
foreign markets; increases in the number
of uses for cotton; and estimates of a
return on investment for stakeholders
and qualitative benefits and returns
associated with the Cotton Research and
Promotion Program. The review report
concluded that the 1990 amendments to
the Act were successfully implemented
and are operating as intended. The
report also noted that there is a general
consensus within the cotton industry
that the Cotton Research and Promotion
Program and the 1990 amendments to
the Act are operating as intended.
Written comments, economic data, and
results from independent evaluations
support this conclusion.
USDA found no compelling reason to
conduct a referendum regarding the
1990 Act amendments to the Cotton
Research and Promotion Order although
some program participants support a
referendum. In 2013, USDA announced
its view not to conduct a referendum
regarding the 1991 amendments to the
Order (78 FR 32228). Therefore, USDA
allowed all eligible persons to request
the conduct of a continuance
referendum on the 1990 amendments
through a sign-up period. The results of
this sign-up period did not meet the
criteria as established by the Act for a
continuance referendum and, therefore,
referenda were not conducted.
With this announcement of the results
of the sign-up period, USDA has
completed all requirements set forth in
Section 8(c) (1) and (2) of the Act
regarding the review of the Cotton
Research and Promotion Program to
determine if a continuance referendum

is warranted. A referendum will not be
conducted, and no further actions are
planned in connection with this review.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 2101–2118.
