Abstract

This document delays the effective date of the final rule published on September 15, 2021, setting forth the proposed Concrete Masonry Products Research, Education, and Promotion Order, as authorized by the Concrete Masonry Products Research, Education, and Promotion Act of 2018, which establishes a Concrete Masonry Products Board (Board) composed of industry members appointed by the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to develop and implement programs of research, education, and promotion in the concrete masonry products industry. The effective date is delayed from November 29, 2021, to December 18, 2021. There have been longer-than-expected delays in delivery of timely completed ballots, and the Department wants to ensure it has time to adequately review and process all ballots received. The change in the effective date of the Order does not affect the referendum period which ends on November 15. If the referendum fails, the Department will publish a document in the Federal Register to withdraw the final rule before the effective date.
