The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is reopening the comment period for a proposed rule to amend the Lamb Promotion, Research, and Information Order. This rule change involves requiring market agencies to fully collect and remit assessments on lamb sales. The comment period, initially closed on December 4, 2020, is now extended to March 24, 2021, providing more time for stakeholders to give input. AMS is particularly interested in feedback on allowing flexible remittance schedules for smaller market agencies to reduce their regulatory burden.
Simple Explanation
Imagine there's a plan to change how people selling lambs pay some money to help with lamb promotion. The people in charge are giving everyone more time to say what they think about this plan, especially since they're thinking about making it easier for smaller sellers but haven't explained how that would work yet.
