Sec.  1160.200  Establishment and membership.

    (a) There is hereby established a National Fluid Milk Processor 
Promotion Board of 20 members, 15 of whom shall represent geographic 
regions and five of whom shall be at-large members of the Board. To the 
extent practicable, members representing geographic regions shall 
represent fluid milk processing operations of differing sizes. No fluid 
milk processor shall be represented on the Board by more than three 
members. The at-large members shall include at least three fluid milk 
processors and at least one member from the general public. Except for 
the non-processor member or members from the general public, nominees 
appointed to the Board must be active owners or employees of a fluid 
milk processor. The failure of such a member to own or work for such 
fluid milk processor shall disqualify that member for membership on the 
Board except that such member shall continue to serve on the Board for a 
period not to exceed 6 months following the disqualification or until 
appointment of a successor Board member to such position, whichever is 
sooner, provided that such person continues to meet the criteria for 
serving on the Board as a processor representative. Should a member 
representing the general public cease to be employed by the entity 
employing that member when appointed, gain employment with a new 
employer, or cease to own or operate the business which that member 
owned or operated at the date of appointment, such member shall be 
disqualified for membership on the Board, except that such member shall 
continue to serve on the Board for a period not to exceed 6 months, or 
until appointment of a successor Board member, whichever is sooner.

regions, one member shall be selected from each of the following
