What US Mushroom Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act of 1990 (7 USC ch 90): Mushroom Council and Assessments requires
The Mushroom Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. ch. 90, sections 6101 to 6112) authorizes a coordinated program of promotion, research, and consumer information for mushrooms funded by assessments, administered by the Secretary of Agriculture through the Agricultural Marketing Service. Section 6101 sets out the findings and declaration of policy, recognizing that mushrooms are an important food that is a valuable part of the human diet and that mushroom production plays a significant role in the Nation's economy, and authorizing an orderly procedure for developing, financing through adequate assessments, and carrying out an effective, continuous, and coordinated program. Section 6102 defines the terms, providing that producer means a person producing over 500,000 pounds of mushrooms per year and that importer means a person importing over 500,000 pounds annually. Section 6103 authorizes the issuance of orders, and section 6104 sets the required terms, providing for the establishment of a Mushroom Council with at least 4 members and not more than 9 members appointed by the Secretary from nominations, and limiting the assessment rate to one-quarter cent per pound in the first year, increasing in steps to one cent per pound thereafter. Section 6105 sets the referenda, providing that an order becomes effective if approved by a majority of producers producing more than 50 percent of the mushrooms voted upon. Section 6106 provides for petition and review, section 6107 provides for enforcement, including a civil penalty of not less than 500 dollars nor more than 5,000 dollars for each violation, and section 6108 provides investigations and power to subpoena. Section 6110 provides for the suspension or termination of orders. The Act is the federal checkoff regime for mushrooms.
