Sec.  1240.34  Vacancies.

    (a) In the event any member of the Board ceases to be a member of 
the category of members from which the member was appointed to the 
Board, such position shall automatically become vacant: Provided, That 
if, as a result of Board reconstitution pursuant to Sec.  1240.33, a 
producer member or alternate is no longer from the region from which 
such person was appointed, the affected member and/or alternate may 
serve out the term for which such person was appointed, or if a member, 
whose position is based on the member's status as an importer is subject 
to reallocation by the Board, the affected member and/or alternate may 
serve out the term for which such person was appointed.
    (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 
the recommendation of the Board shows adequate cause, the Secretary 
shall remove such member from office.

alternate become vacant, successors for the unexpired terms of such
