SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

General Conference Committee (the 

Committee) of the National Poultry 

Improvement Plan (NPIP) is the 

Secretary’s Advisory Committee on 

poultry health. The Committee serves as 

a forum for the study of problems 

relating to poultry health and as 

necessary makes specific 

recommendations to the Secretary 

concerning ways the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture may assist the industry in 

addressing these problems. The 

Committee assists the Department in 

planning, organizing, and conducting 

the Biennial Conference of the NPIP. 

The Committee recommends whether 

new proposals should be considered by 

the delegates to the Biennial 

Conference. 

The Committee consists of an elected 

member-at-large who is a NPIP 

participant and an elected member (and 

alternate) from each of six regions. 

Terms will expire for three of the 

current regional members of the 

Committee as well as the member-atlarge in July 2014. We are soliciting 

nominations from interested 

organizations and individuals to replace 

the member-at-large and members on 

the Committee from the North Atlantic 

region (Connecticut, Maine, 

Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New 

Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode 

Island, and Vermont), the East North 

Central region (Illinois, Indiana, 

Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin), and 

the Western region (Alaska, Arizona, 

California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, 

Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, 

Washington, and Wyoming). 

Selection of members and their 

alternates is determined by a majority 

vote of the NPIP delegates from the 

respective region. The voting will be by 

secret ballot of official delegates from 

the respective region, and the results 

will be recorded. The member-at-large 

will be elected by all official delegates. 

There must be at least two nominees for 

each position. To ensure the 

recommendations of the Committee 

have taken into account the needs of the 

diverse groups served by the 

Department, at least one nominee from 

each of the three regions must have a 

demonstrated ability to represent 

underrepresented groups (minorities, 

women, persons with disabilities, and 

persons with limited English 

proficiency). All members serve for 4 

years, subject to the continuation of the 

Committee by the Secretary of 

Agriculture. 

Nominees wishing to be considered 

for election must complete Form AD– 

755. Nomination forms are available on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.ocio.usda.gov/forms/doc/AD755.pdf or may be obtained from the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 18th day of 

February 2014.
