Amendment to the Beef Promotion and Research Rules and Regulations

Docket Number: AMS-LPS-15-0084
Effective Date: June 29, 2017
 
Summary

This final rule amends the Beef Promotion and Research Order (Order) established under the Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985 (Act) by adding six Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes for imported veal and veal products and updating assessment levels for imported veal and veal products based on revised determinations of live animal equivalencies. In addition to the foregoing, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is amending the Order's definition of “Imported beef or beef products” by deleting its reference to tariff numbers that are no longer in use and obsolete.
