Sec.  1219.36  Vacancies.

    (a) In the event any member or alternate of the Board ceases to be a 
member of the category of members from which the member was appointed to 
the Board, such member or alternate shall be disqualified from serving 
on the Board and the position shall automatically become vacant.
    (b) If a member of the Board consistently refuses to perform the 
duties of a member of the Board, or if a member of the Board engages in 
acts of dishonesty or willful misconduct, the Board may recommend to the 
Secretary that the member be removed from office. If the Secretary finds 
that the recommendation of the Board shows adequate cause, the member 
shall be removed from office.
    (c) Should any Board member position become vacant in the event of 
the death, removal, resignation, or disqualification, the alternate of 
that member shall automatically assume the position of said member. The 
alternate shall serve until the end of the member's normal term. If 
there is no alternate member to assume the position of member, the 
successor member and alternate shall be nominated and selected in the 
manner specified in Sec. Sec.  1219.31, 1219.32, or 1219.33.
    (d) Should any alternate member become vacant in the event of death, 
removal, resignation, or disqualification, the Board may nominate 
persons to serve for the unexpired term of such alternate member. The 
nomination shall be conducted at a regularly scheduled Board meeting as 
soon as practicable after the vacancy occurs. The Board may solicit the 
names of nominees from producers and importers prior to the meeting and 
from the floor of the meeting. All nominees must meet the qualifications 
for nomination. The Board shall submit two nominees for each vacancy to 
the Secretary. A vacancy will not be required to be filled if the 
unexpired term is less than six months.
