What US Beef Research and Information Act (7 USC ch 62): The Beef Checkoff and Cattlemen's Beef Board requires
The Beef Research and Information Act (7 U.S.C. ch. 62, sections 2901 to 2911) authorizes the national beef promotion and research program, commonly known as the beef checkoff, administered by the Secretary of Agriculture through the Agricultural Marketing Service. Section 2901 sets out the congressional findings and declaration of policy, and section 2902 defines terms including cattle, beef, producer, and importer. Section 2903 authorizes the Secretary to issue a beef promotion and research order, and section 2904 prescribes the required terms in the order, including the establishment of the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board and an Operating Committee and the imposition of an assessment at the rate of one dollar per head of cattle, or the equivalent thereof in the case of imported beef and beef products. Section 2905 governs the certification of organizations to nominate Board members, section 2906 requires a referendum, and section 2907 provides for refunds. Section 2908 provides for enforcement, section 2909 authorizes investigations, subpoenas, and judicial enforcement, and section 2910 addresses preemption and amendments to orders. Section 2911 authorizes appropriations. The Act is the federal commodity research and promotion regime for beef and the legal basis of the one-dollar-per-head assessment.
