End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The National Agricultural Research, Extension, Education, and Economics Advisory Board (the Board) was established by the Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-127, commonly called the 1996 Farm Bill) to provide advice to the Secretary of Agriculture and land-grant colleges and universities on national priorities and policies related to agricultural research, education, extension, and economics. An amendment in the 2002 Farm Security and Rural Investment Act (Pub. L. 107-171) states that the Board shall also provide consultation to: “the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives, the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate, the Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies of the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives, and the Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development and Related Agencies of the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate.” Also, this amendment added one new member category to the Board—“(R) 1 member representing a non-land grant college or university with a historic commitment to research in the food and agricultural sciences.” This addition brings the total representation on the Advisory Board to 31 members. Each Board member is selected based on his/her leadership, affiliation, knowledge and expertise that represents a “specific stakeholder category” on the Advisory Board, as delineated in the 1996 Farm Bill. Since the Advisory Board's inception in 1996, members were appointed to serve staggered terms, so that every year, the terms for approximately one-third of the members expire. This notice is to solicit individuals who are qualified to represent at least one of the ten stakeholder categories listed below:
Category B. Farm Cooperatives
Category D. Plant Commodity Producer
Category G. National Aquaculture Association
Category J. National Food Science OrganizationStart Printed Page 29475
Category L. National Nutritional Science Society
Category M. 1862 Land-Grant Colleges and Universities
Category S. Member of Scientific Community not closely associated with Agriculture
Category BB. An Agency of USDA that Lacks Research Capabilities
Category CC. Research Agency of the Federal Government Other than USDA
Category EE. National Organizations directly concerned with Agricultural Research, Education, and Extension
The nominees submitted for these categories will be considered by the Secretary of Agriculture for appointment to the Advisory Board. The ten appointed members will serve a three-year term, beginning October 1, 2005 and ending September 30, 2008.
Nominations will be open to all individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, mental or physical handicap, marital status, or sexual orientation. To assure that recommendations of the Advisory Board take into account the needs of the diverse groups served by the Department, membership shall include, to the extent practicable, individuals with demonstrated ability to represent minorities, women, and persons with disabilities.
Appointments to the National Agricultural Research, Extension, Education, and Economics Advisory Board will be made by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture.
Start SignatureDone at Washington, DC, this 13th day of May, 2005.
