Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The full Advisory Committee shall consist of a minimum 14 members up to a maximum of 20 members. Each member shall be appointed to serve a 2-year term and may reapply to be considered up to ( printed page 62049) two additional 2-year terms. All members serve at the pleasure of the Secretary of Agriculture. The Advisory Committee will meet at least once annually to explore issues affecting beginning farmers and ranchers, USDA policies and programs, and related matters challenging new farmers and ranchers. Advisory Committee meetings may be held in hybrid style giving participants the choice to attend in person or virtually. During public meetings, the Advisory Committee shall explore and deliberate upon specific topics and frame up recommendations involving: (1) principles to leverage and maximize existing programs that assist beginning farmers and ranchers; (2) methods and strategies that amplify and improve State collaboration and participation in USDA programs; (3) opportunity creation strategies and pilot programs (e.g., farm apprenticeships, farm incubators); and (4) ideas that provide relief from labor and taxation burdens.

Member Nominations. Any interested person may nominate individuals for membership. Interested candidates may also nominate themselves. Individuals who wish to be considered for membership on the Advisory Committee must submit a nomination package that includes (1) the background disclosure form (Form AD-755) [https://www.usda.gov/​sites/​default/​files/​documents/​ad-755.pdf ]; (2) a brief cover letter with a summary of nominee's qualifications to serve on the Advisory Committee; and (3) a resume providing the nominee's background, experience, and educational qualifications (5 pages or less). Nominees may also provide samples of published writings related to matters affecting new farmers and ranchers and letters of endorsement—both of which are optional. Nomination for membership is open to the public, including minorities, women, and persons with disabilities from within the United States and its territories (Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianna Islands). Final selection of Advisory Committee members is made by the Secretary.

The Advisory Committee was originally authorized pursuant to Section 5(b) of the Agricultural Credit Improvement Act of 1992, 7 U.S.C. 1929, as amended; and reauthorized under the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008; and is established and managed in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. 10.

The Advisory Committee is statutory, and its members may be designated as Representatives, Special Government Employees (SGEs), or Regular Government Employees (RGEs). Pursuant to the Advisory Committee's statutory composition, members should represent (1) new farmers and ranchers; (2) State beginning farming programs; (3) commercial lenders; (4) private nonprofit organizations with active beginning farmer or rancher programs; (5) educational institutions with demonstrated experience in training beginning farmers and ranchers; and (6) other organizations or persons who provide lending or technical assistance for farmers and ranchers. RGEs shall include employees from the Farm Service Agency and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture. SGEs shall be appointed for their personal knowledge, academic scholarship, background, and expertise in specific areas of focus as required during their terms.

Equal opportunity practices in accordance with USDA's policies will be followed in all appointments to the Committee. To ensure that the recommendations of the Committee have taken in account the needs of the diverse groups served by USDA, membership shall include, to the extent possible, individuals with demonstrated ability to represent minorities, women, and persons with disabilities.

Dated: September 1, 2023.

Cikena Reid,

USDA Committee Management Officer.
