Abstract

This final rule terminates the Federal research and promotion program for paper and paper-based packaging and the rules and regulations issued thereunder. This action is necessary because termination of the program was favored by a majority of manufacturers and importers voting in the referendum who also represent a majority of the volume of paper and paper-based packaging represented in the referendum. This rulemaking also removes the Paper and Paper-Based Packaging Promotion, Research and Information Order from the Code of Federal Regulations.
