What US Honey Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Act (7 USC ch 77): Honey Board and Assessments requires
The Honey Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Act (7 U.S.C. ch. 77, sections 4601 to 4613) authorizes a coordinated national program of research, promotion, and consumer information for honey and honey products, administered by the Secretary of Agriculture through the Agricultural Marketing Service. Section 4601 sets out the findings and purposes, and section 4602 defines terms including honey, handler, importer, and producer. Section 4603 authorizes the Secretary to issue and amend an order applicable to persons engaged in the production, sale, or handling of honey. Section 4606 prescribes the required terms of the order, including the establishment of a National Honey Board and the mechanism for collecting assessments, with the default assessment rate set at 0.01 dollars per pound and an alternative rate of 0.015 dollars per pound if approved. Section 4608 governs the collection of assessments and refunds, providing that first handlers collect assessments from producers and that importers remit assessments at the time of entry. Section 4611 requires that an order become effective only on approval by a majority in a referendum of producers, importers, and handlers, and section 4612 provides for termination or suspension of the order and for referenda. The Act is the federal commodity research and promotion regime for honey.
