USDA Announces Deadline for Egg Producer Organizations to Request Certification - US - The U.S. Department of Agriculture is inviting egg producer organizations, that are not already USDA-certified as eligible to nominate members and alternates to the American Egg Board, to request certification by May 14, 2004.

USDA will seek nominations this summer from all USDA-certified egg producer groups to fill two-year terms of nine members and their alternates, whose terms expire at the end of 2004.

The Board administers an egg research and promotion program, authorized by the Egg Research and Consumer Information Act. The program is monitored by AMS, an agency within USDA’s marketing and regulatory mission area.
