study the scope and effectiveness of 

research, extension, and economics 

programs affecting the specialty crop 

industry. The congressional legislation 

defines ‘‘specialty crops’’ as fruits, 

vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits and 

nursery crops (including floriculture). In 

order to carry out its responsibilities 

effectively, the Committee is holding a 

stakeholder listening session. The 

listening session will elicit stakeholder 

input from industry and state 

representatives, researchers and 

educators, national organizations and 

institutions, local producers, and other 

groups about topics of relevance to 

research, extension or economics 

programs on which the Specialty Crop 

Committee is charged to report through 

the Board to the Secretary of Agriculture 

and Congress. The list of specific topics 

of interest is available on the Committee 

charge on the NAREEE Web site 

(http://nareeeab.ree.usda.gov). In 

addition, the Committee seeks input on 

the Specialty Crop Research Initiative 

priorities and program administration, 

as well as its interaction with any 

research undertaken by the state 

administered Specialty Crop Block 

Grant Program funded through the 

USDA. Several panel sessions will be 

organized to stimulate discussion, each 

relating to one or more specific issues 

delineated in the Committee’s charge. 

Each panel will be followed with 

questions by Committee members and 

opportunity for brief presentations and 

general discussion from the floor. An 

open session for further brief 

presentations will also be scheduled. 

Succinct written comments by attendees 

and other interested stakeholders will 

be welcomed as additional public input 

before and up to two weeks following 

the listening sessions. All statements 

will become part of the official public 

record of the Board’s Specialty Crop 

Committee. 

In order to encourage input from a 

wide array of interested parties and 

stakeholders from diverse regions of the 

country, the Committee will host an 

additional listening session focused on 

the same topics. This session will be 

held in Sacramento, CA on June 10, 

2010. Details regarding this meeting will 

be announced in the near future. 

Done at Washington, DC, this 11th day of 

April 2010.

Acting Under Secretary, Research, Education, 

and Economics.
