SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The General Conference Committee of the National Poultry
Improvement Plan was established in 1971. The committee is governed in
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and the
regulations of title 9, Code of Federal Regulations (9 CFR), section
147.43. The duties of the committee involve assisting the Department in
planning, organizing, and conducting the National Poultry Improvement
Plan (NPIP) Biennial Conference. Between Plan Conferences,
[[Page 23392]]
the committee represents the cooperating States in:
<bullet> Advising the Department on administrative procedures and
interpretations of the Plan provisions contained in 9 CFR.
<bullet> Helping the Department evaluate comments on proposed Plan
amendments.
<bullet> Recommending to the Secretary any changes in Plan
provisions when postponement until the next Plan Conference would
seriously impair program operations.
<bullet> Serving as a forum for the study of poultry health
problems.
The purpose of the General Conference Committee of the National
Poultry Improvement Plan (Committee) is to maintain and ensure industry
involvement in Federal administration of matters pertaining to poultry
health. The committee meets at least annually. In the even years, the
committee meets in conjunction with the NPIP Biennial Conference. The
NPIP Biennial Conference is the only national meeting where the
industry, State and Federal government consider poultry health issues
on a routine basis. The committee members are elected at the NPIP
Biennial conference by State delegates from their respective regions.
There are seven members with a 4-year staggered term. The poultry
industry elects the members of the Committee. The members represent six
geographic areas with one member-at-large. The Committee Chairperson
and the Vice Chairperson shall be elected by the Committee from among
its members.
