Sec.  1150.133  Nominations.

    Nominations for members of the Board shall be made in the following 
manner:
    (a) Upon effectuation of this provision, the Secretary shall solicit 
nominations for the initial Board from all eligible organizations. If 
the Secretary determines that a substantial number of producers are not 
members of, or their interests are not represented by, such eligible 
organizations, the Secretary shall also solicit nominations from such 
producers through general farmer organizations or by other means.
    (b) After the appointment of the initial Board, the Secretary shall 
announce at least 120 days in advance when a Board member's term is 
expiring and shall solicit nominations for that position in the manner 
described in paragraph (a) of this section. Nominations for such 
position should be submitted to the Secretary not less than 60 days 
prior to the expiration of such term.
    (c) An eligible organization may submit nominations only for 
positions on the Board that represent regions in which such eligible 
organization can establish that it represents a substantial number of 
producers. If there is more than one Board position for any such region, 
the organization may submit nominations for each position.
    (d) Where there is more than one eligible organization representing 
producers in a specific region, they may caucus and jointly nominate 
producers for each position representing that region on the Board for 
which a member is to be appointed. If joint agreement is not reached 
with respect to any such nominations, or if no caucus is held, each 
eligible organization may submit to the Secretary nominations for each 
appointment to be made to represent that region.
