Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 9, 2001 / Notices 23665

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Agricultural Policy Advisory Committee

for Trade (APAC) and the Agricultural

Technical Advisory Committees for

Trade (ATACs) are authorized by

sections 135(c)(1) and (2) of the Trade

Act of 1974, as amended (Pub. L. No.

93–618, 19 U.S.C. 2155). The purpose of

the committees is to provide advice to

the Secretary and the U.S. Trade

Representative concerning agricultural

trade policy and are intended to ensure

that representative elements of the

private sector have an opportunity to

make known their views to the U.S.

Government.

Rechartering

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory

Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix), the

Foreign Agricultural Service gives

notice that the Secretary of Agriculture

and the U.S. Trade Representative have

reestablished the Agricultural Policy

Advisory Committee for Trade (APAC)

and the Agricultural Technical Advisory

Committees for Trade (ATACs). In 1974,

Congress established a private sector

advisory committee system to ensure

that U.S. trade policy and negotiation

objectives adequately reflect U.S.

commercial and economic interests. The

private sector advisory system now

consists of almost 40 committees,

arranged in three tiers:

• The President’s Advisory

Committee on Trade and Policy

Negotiations (ACTPN);

• Seven advisory committees,

including the APAC, and;

• Over 30 technical advisory

committees, including the ATACs. The

renewal of such committees is in the

public interest in connection with the

duties of the U.S. Department of

Agriculture (USDA) imposed by the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

General Committee Information

All APAC and ATAC committee

members are appointed by the Secretary

of Agriculture and the U.S. Trade

Representative (USTR), and serve at the

directions of the Secretary and the

USTR. To serve and attend committee

meetings, members must be U.S.

citizens, and have successfully

completed a confidential security

clearance. Committee members serve

without compensation; they are not

reimburbsed for their travel expense.

Committee meetings will be open to

the public, unless the U.S. Trade

Representative determines that the

committees will be discussing issues the

disclosure of which justify closing a

meeting or portions of the meeting, in

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(c).

All committee appointments expire

on May 1, 2003; by the Secretary and

USTR may renew an appointment for

one or more additional terms.

Each committee has a chairperson,

who is elected from the membership of

that committee. In addition to their

individual responsibilities, all

communities are required to meet at the

conclusion of negotiations for each trade

agreement, and to provide a report on

each agreement to the President,

Congress, and to the u.S. Trade

Representative.

[All meetings will be held in

Washington, D.C.]

Agricultural Policy Advisory

Committee for Trade (APAC)

The APAC has approximately 50

members, and is composed of a broad

spectrum of agricultural interests. It

provides advice concerning:

• Negotiating objectives and

bargaining positions before the United

States enters into a trade agreement;

• The operation of various U.S. trade

agreements; and

• Other matters arising from the

administration of U.S. trade policy.

Agricultural Technical Advisory

Committees for Trade (ATACs)

The ATACs provide advice and

information regarding trade issues

which affect both domestic and foreign

production in the commodities, drawing

upon the technical competence and

experience of its members. There are

five ATACs, one for each of the

following sectors:

• Grains, Feed, and Oilseeds;

• Animals and Animal Products;

• Fruits and Vegetables;

• Sweetners and Sweetner Products;

and

• Tobacco, Cotton, and Peanuts.

Each ATAC has approximately 25

members, for a total of approximately

125 members.

Nominations and Selection of Members

Nominations are open to all

individuals 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

committees take into account the needs

of the diverse groups served by the

Department, membership shall include,

to the extent practicable, individuals

with demonstrated ability to represent

minorities, women, and persons with

disabilities.

Members are slected primarily for

their expertise and knowledge of

agriculture 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 representation on a

committee. All members serve at the

discretion of the Secretary of

Agriculture and the U.S. Trade

Representative. In making selections,

every effort will be made tomaintain

balanced representation on the

committees: representation from

producers, farm and commodity

organizations, processors, traders,

consumers, as well as geographical

balance.

Issued at Washington, D.C. this 1st day of

May, 2001.

Dated: May 1, 2001.

Paul W. Fiddick,

Assistant Secretary for Administration.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Submission For OMB Review;

Comment Request

DOC has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following proposal for

collection of information under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.

Title: 2002 Economic Census Covering

The Wholesale Trade Sector.

Form Number(s): Too numerous to list

here.

Agency Approval Number: none.

Type of Request: New collection.

Burden: 720,000 hours in FY 2003.

Number of Respondents: 480,000.

Avg Hours Per Response: 1.5 hours.

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census

Bureau requests Office of Management

and Budget approval of the information

collection forms it will use in

conducting the 2002 Economic Census

covering the Wholesale Trade Sector.

The wholesale trade sector comprises

establishments primarily engaged in the

selling or arranging the purchase or sale

of durable nonconsumer goods, selling

goods for resale, and the sale of other

goods from establishments that operate

from a warehouse or office and do not

normally advertise directly to the

general public. The census will use a

mail canvass, supplemented by data

from Federal administrative records, to

measure the economic activity of more

than 480,000 wholesale establishments

classified in the North American

Industry Classification System (NAICS).

The economic census will produce

basic statistics by kind of business on

number of establishments, sales,

payroll, employment, inventories, and

operating expenses. It also will yield a

variety of subject statistics, including

sales by commodity line; e-commerce

sales; sales by class of customer;

employment by principal activity;

measures of gross margin and gross

profit; and other industry-specific

measures, such as bulk storage capacity

by type of facility for petroleum bulk

stations and terminals. Basic statistics

will be summarized for the United

States, states, and metropolitan areas,

and counties and places having 2,500

inhabitants or more. Tabulations of

subject statistics also will present data

for the United States and, in some cases,

for states and metropolitan areas.

The economic census is the primary

source of facts about the structure and

functioning of the Nation’s economy

and features unique industry and

geographic detail. Economic census

statistics serve as part of the framework

for the national accounts and provide

essential information for government,

business, and the general public. The

Federal Government uses information

from the economic census as an

important part of the framework for the

national income and product accounts,

input-output tables, economic indexes,

and other composite measures that serve

as the factual basis for economic policymaking, planning, and program

administration. Further, the census

provides sampling frames and

benchmarks for current surveys of

business which track short-term

economic trends, serve as economic

indicators, and contribute critical source

data for current estimates of gross

domestic product. State and local

governments rely on the economic

census as a unique source of

comprehensive economic statistics for

small geographic areas for use in policymaking, planning, and program

administration. Finally, industry,

business, academe, and the general

public use information from the

economic census for evaluating markets,

preparing business plans, making

business decisions, developing

economic models and forecasts,

conducting economic research, and
