SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 and the regulations of title 9, Code of Federal Regulations (9
CFR), Sec. 147.43. The duties of the committee involve assisting the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (Department) in planning, organizing,
and conducting the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP or Plan)
Biennial Conference. Between Plan Conferences, the committee represents
the cooperating States in:
<bullet> Advising the Department on administrative procedures and
interpretations of the Plan provisions contained in the 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; and
<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 and 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.
Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified
individuals for membership. Interested candidates may nominate
themselves. Individuals who wish to be considered for membership on the
General Conference Committee must submit a nomination with information,
including a background disclosure form (Form AD-755). Applications and
nominations for membership on the Committee will be solicited in
subsequent notice in the Federal Register.
Equal opportunity practices, in accordance with USDA policies, will
be followed in all membership appointments to the Committee.
In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its
Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or
administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on
race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, marital
status, family/parental status, income derived from a public assistance
program, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil
rights activity, in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA
(not all bases apply to all programs). Remedies and complaint filing
deadlines vary by program or incident.
Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of
communication for program information (e.g., Braille, large print,
audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.) should contact the responsible
Agency or USDA's TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TTY) or
