USDA To Conduct Referendum On Paper Packaging Research Program The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that it will conduct a referendum July 14-25 for eligible domes- tic manufacturers and importers of paper and paper-based packaging to decide whether to continue their research and promotion program. USDA also announced a mora- torium on the Paper and Packaging Board’s collection of assessments from domestic manufacturers and importers under the Paper and Paper-Based Packaging Promotion, Research and Information Order. The moratorium will re- main in place throughout the referendum process. Persons eligible to vote in the referendum include current domestic manufacturers who have domestically manufactured 100,000 short tons or more of paper and paper-based packaging, and persons who are currently importers and have imported 100,000 short tons or more of paper and paper-based packaging, during the repre- sentative period January 1 through December 31, 2024. AMS staff will express mail ballots and voting instruc- tions, including how to vote electronically, to all known eli- gible domestic manufacturers and importers of paper and paper-based packaging before the voting period. Com- pleted ballots must be delivered to AMS via express mail or electronic means no later than 11:59 p.m. ET on Jul. 25, 2025. For information, visit paperandpackaging.com .
