soybean producers wanted a referendum 

on the Soybean Promotion and Research 

Order (Order) for one to be conducted. 

The Request for Referendum was 

conducted from May 5, 2014, through 

May 30, 2014, at the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture’s (USDA) Farm Service 

Agency county offices. To trigger a 

referendum, 56,999 soybean producers 

needed to complete a valid Request for 

Referendum. The total number of 

soybean producers participating in the 

referendum was 355. The number of 

valid petitions received was 324.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Soybean Promotion, Research, 

and Consumer Information Act (Act)

Export of Further Processed Eggs and Egg Products. 

that at least 10 percent of U.S. producers 

engaged in growing soybeans (not in 

excess of one-fifth of which may be 

producers in any one State) support the 

conduct of a referendum, the Secretary 

must conduct a referendum within 1 

year of that determination. If these 

requirements are not met, a referendum 

is not conducted. 

A notice of opportunity to Request a 

Soybean Referendum was published in 

the Federal Register (79 FR 12037) on 

March 4, 2014. To be eligible to 

participate in the Request for 

Referendum, producers or the producer 

entity that they are authorized to 

represent must provide supporting 

documentation showing that they or the 

producer entity they represent paid an 

assessment sometime during the 

representative period between January 

1, 2012, and December 31, 2013. Based 

on USDA data, there are 569,998 

soybean producers in the United States. 

A total of 355 producers participated 

in the Request for Referendum. Only 

324 valid requests for a referendum 

were completed by eligible soybean 

producers. This number does not meet 

the requisite number of 56,999. 

Therefore, based on the results, a 

referendum will not be conducted. In 

accordance with the provisions of the 

Act, soybean producers will be provided 

another opportunity to request a 

referendum in 5 years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 3, 2013, the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS) announced 

the establishment of the Processed Egg 

and Egg Products Export Program. 

Established under the Agricultural 

Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621 et 

seq.), the new program 1 facilitates the 

export of FDA-regulated prepared or 

manufactured food products containing 

eggs or egg products. Under the new 

program, AMS certifies a wide range of 

foods, including cooked omelets, frozen 

egg patties, crepes, hard boiled eggs, 

mayonnaise, and foods containing egg 

extracts. AMS performs onsite 

verification of public health certification 

statements and issues export certificates 

on a fee-for-service basis as part of the 

program. 

While FDA regulates the safe 

production, sanitary processing, and 

labeling of food products containing egg 

products (Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act) (21 U.S.C. 301–399(d)), 

FSIS has been issuing export certificates 

of wholesomeness for prepared or 

manufactured food products that
