AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This final rule adjusts the number of members on the United Soybean Board (Board) to reflect changes in production levels that have occurred since the Board was reapportioned in 2009.

accordingly. This change results in an increase in Board membership for Mississippi, increasing the total number of Board members from 69 to 70. The change will be effective for the 2013 nomination and appointment process.
DATES: Effective Date: January 3, 2012.
