The Department of Commerce
(Department) seeks to establish an orderly program for developing,
financing, and carrying out an effective, continuous, and
coordinated program of research, education and promotion, to
support the concrete masonry products industry. The Department has
published a proposed Order in the Federal Register to establish the
program. The purpose of the proposed Order is to strengthen the
position of the concrete masonry products industry in the domestic
marketplace; maintain, develop, and expand markets and uses of
concrete masonry products in the domestic marketplace; and promote
the use of concrete masonry products in construction and building.
The proposed Order allows a Concrete Masonry Products Board (Board)
made up of industry members appointed by the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) to develop and implement programs of research,
education, and promotion. The funding of the Board’s activities and
programs will be through assessments paid by manufacturers of
concrete masonry units. The initial assessment will be $.01 per
concrete masonry unit sold.
