Abstract: The Department of Commerce (Department) seeks to continue 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. In December of 2021 the concrete masonry products industry voted to adopt the Order the Department published to establish a checkoff program. The purpose of the 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 Order established the 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 is through assessments paid for by manufacturers of concrete masonry units. The initial and current assessment is $.01 per concrete masonry unit sold.
