SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Subcommittee will be known as the USDA
National Pollinator
[[Page 19662]]
Subcommittee; hereafter referred to as the Pollinator Subcommittee of
the National Agricultural Research, Extension Education, and Economics
(NAREEE) Advisory Board, which is implemented by the Research,
Education, and Economics (REE) Mission Area. Most recently, the NAREEE
Board was amended and extended through September 30, 2023 by the
Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018. This amended charter is
consistent with 7 U.S.C. 3123, as amended, and is in accordance with
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as
amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 2. Further, USDA is charged by the 2018 Farm
Bill, Title 10, Section 1672, Subsection 4, to identify annual
strategic pollinator priorities and goals for the Department in the
context of specific research mandates. USDA recommends the Pollinator
Subcommittee be initiated in 2022 as the newest subcommittee of the
NAREEE Advisory Board. The subcommittee is advisory in nature, and
members will be asked to make pollinator health-related
recommendations, reviews, and consultation to the NAREEE Advisory Board
and subsequently to REE, other USDA mission areas, and federal
pollinator coordinators. The NAREEE Advisory Board Office is requesting
that individuals who are interested in and qualified to serve on the
Pollinator Subcommittee apply for appointment. Please visit <a href="https://nareeeab.ree.usda.gov/nominations">https://nareeeab.ree.usda.gov/nominations</a> for additional information on vacant
positions.
Candidates selected to the Pollinator Subcommittee may serve 1-3
years with terms anticipated to start in July 2022 (based on
Secretarial action). The NAREEE Advisory Board requires a formal
application, and each electronic package MUST include the following:
<bullet> AD-755 Form (accessed from this link)--the NAREEE Advisory
Board Office will not consider applications submitted with incomplete
AD-755 forms.
<bullet> A summary of the most important accomplishments that
qualify you to serve on the Pollinator Subcommittee, in the form of
five to seven (5-7) bullets in fewer than 125 words total;
<bullet> Resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV); and
<bullet> Optional: One to two (1-2) letters of recommendation
addressed to the NAREEE Advisory Board Office are helpful, but not
mandatory for consideration.
Your application package must comprise 25 pages or fewer to be
considered by the NAREEE Advisory Board Office. Information contained
in your application package should clearly indicate your qualifications
to serve on the Pollinator Subcommittee. The NAREEE Advisory Board
Office will review the information contained in the application
packages to send to the Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary of
Agriculture will make selections based on candidates who will: (1) Work
collaboratively in representing diverse USDA pollinator stakeholders
and areas of study; (2) provide sound and informed scientific input on
pollinator research priorities; and (3) produce and utilize accurate,
scientifically informed input on the best available science pertaining
to various aspects of pollinator health.
The Pollinator Subcommittee will formally meet (i.e., public
meeting) once per year by video conference and/or in person. The NAREEE
Advisory Board does not pay Pollinator Subcommittee members for their
time but may reimburse travel expenses such as airfare (USDA must book
your flight), per diem to include hotel stays, and other transportation
costs within federal travel guidelines when approved by the Designated
Federal Officer.
USDA does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion,
sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital
status, political affiliation, disability and genetic information, age,
membership in an employee organization, or other non-merit factor. USDA
strives to achieve a widely diverse candidate pool for its recruitment
for all Board and committee/subcommittee appointments. Federal
Registered lobbyists and non-government contractors supporting
pollinator policies or programmatic activities at USDA may not apply to
be on the Pollinator Subcommittee. Entities that currently have
cooperative agreements, grants, or other types of agreements for the
purposes of research, education, and/or extension may apply.
