## Office of the Secretary, White House Liaison Office

*Title:*                     Advisory Committee and Research and Promotion Board Membership Background Information.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0505-0001.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The Department is required under Section 1804 of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 (7 U.S.C. 2281,                     *et seq.*) to provide information concerning advisory committee members' principal place of residence, persons or companies by whom employed, and other major sources of income. The Agriculture and Food Act of 1981 (Pub. L. 97-98) reiterates this requirement. Similar information will be required of research and promotion boards/committees/councils in addition to the supplemental commodity specific questions. The Secretary appoints board members under each program. Some of the information contained on form AD-755 is used by the Department to conduct background clearances of prospective board members required by departmental regulations. The clearance is required for all committee members who are appointed by the Secretary. The White House Liaison Office (WHLO) will collect information using form AD-755, “Advisory Committee and Research and Promotion Board Membership Background Information.”                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     The WHLO will collect information on the background of the nominees to make sure there are no delinquent loans to the United States Department of Agriculture, (USDA), as well as making sure they have no negative record that could be a negative reflection to the USDA. The information obtained from the form is used in the compilation of an annual report to Congress. Failure of the Department to provide this information would require the Secretary to terminate the pertinent committee or board.                

*Description of Respondents:*                     Individuals or households.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     5,500.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: Annually.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     2,750.
