questionnaire design and content,
publicity, publication plans, and data

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(5 U.S.C. Appendix II), notice is hereby
given that the Secretary of Agriculture
has re-established the charter for the
Advisory Committee on Agriculture
Statistics, hereafter referred to as
Committee. The purpose of the
Committee is to advise the Secretary of
Agriculture on the conduct of the
periodic censuses and surveys of
agriculture, other related surveys, and
the types of agricultural information to
obtain from respondents. The committee
also prepares recommendations
regarding the content of agriculture
reports, and presents the views and
needs for data of major suppliers and
users of agriculture statistics.
The Secretary of Agriculture has
determined that the work of the
Committee is in the public interest and
relevant to the duties of USDA. No other
advisory committee or agency of USDA
is performing the tasks that will be
assigned to the Committee.
The Committee, appointed by the
Secretary of Agriculture, shall consist of
25 members representing a broad range
of disciplines and interests, including,
but not limited to, agricultural
economists, rural sociologists, farm
policy analysts, educators, State
agriculture representatives, and
agriculture-related business and
marketing experts.
Representatives of the Bureau of the
Census, U.S. Department of Commerce,
and Economic Research Service, USDA,

agriculture statistics activities.
Equal opportunity practices, in line
with USDA policies, will be followed in
