Department of Agriculture October 9, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Land Between the Lakes Advisory Board will hold a meeting on Thursday, October 29, 2009. Notice of this meeting is given under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App.2.

The notice to seek comment on the Agricultural Research Services (ARS) intent to seek approval from OMB to reinstatement the ARS Animal Health National Program Assessment Survey was published in the Federal Register on August 6, 2009. The document contained the wrong date for public comment.

This rule invites comments on revisions to the administrative regulations governing voting procedures for the California Walnut Board (Board). The Board locally administers the marketing order that regulates the handling of walnuts grown in California (order). This rule would specify the voting procedures to be used for expanded types of non-assembled meetings and remove voting by telegraph. This would enable the Board to conduct business using current communication methods, which would result in time and cost savings to the Board and its members.
