Nominations and Appointment of 

Members 

Nominations for APAC and ATAC 

membership are open to all individuals 

representing U.S. entities with an 

interest in agricultural trade without 

regard to race, color, religion, sex, 

national origin, age, mental or physical 

handicap, marital status, or sexual 

orientation. To ensure that the 

recommendations of the committee take 

into account the needs of the diverse 

groups served by the USDA, 

membership shall include, to the extent 

practicable, individuals with 

demonstrated ability to represent 

minorities, women, and persons with 

disabilities. 

Members must have expertise and 

knowledge of agricultural trade as it 

relates to policy and commodity specific 

products. No person, company, 

producer, farm organization, trade 

association, or other entity has a right to 

membership on a committee. In making 

appointments, every effort will be made 

to maintain balanced representation on 

the committees: from producers, farm 

and commodity organizations, 

processors, traders, and consumers. 

Geographical balance on each 

committee will also be sought. 

Nominating a person to serve on any 

of the committees requires submission 

of a current resume for the nominee and 

the following form: 

• AD–755 (Advisory Committee 

Membership Background Information), 

available on the Internet at http:// 

www.fas.usda.gov/admin/ad755.pdf.

Foreign Firms: Persons who are 

employed by firms that are 50 percent 

plus one share foreign-owned must state 

the extent to which the organization or 

interest to be represented by the 

nominee is owned by non-U.S. citizens, 

organizations, or interests. If the 

nominee is to represent an entity or 

corporation with 10 percent or greater 

non-U.S. ownership, the nominee must 

demonstrate at the time of nomination 

that this ownership interest does not 

constitute control and will not adversely 

affect his or her ability to serve as an 

advisor on the U.S. agriculture advisory 

committee for trade.
