ACTION: Agenda I. Abstract Wednesday, March 13, 2024, at 3:30 p.m. (CT) This is a request for an extension of an already approved collection of information. In 2021 the Secretary held a referendum among eligible manufacturers to determine whether they favored the implementation of an Order to establish an orderly program for developing, financing, and carrying out an effective, continuous, and coordinated program of research, education and promotion, to support the concrete masonry products industry. The referendum passed and the Order went into effect in December 2021. The law requires the Secretary to conduct an additional referendum in the event: the Board requests such action or if after five years (2026) at least 25 percent of those eligible request such action. Continuation of this approved collection will cover both of these potential occurrences. In 2022, the Secretary appointed members to the Concrete Masonry Products Board (Board) to develop and implement programs of research, education, and promotion. In 2023, the Board began collecting assessments Form, which can be obtained online at www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/ documents/ad-3027.pdf, or from any USDA office, by calling (866) 632–9992, or by writing a letter addressed to USDA.
