AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Farm Security and Rural
Investment Act of 2002 requires the
Secretary of Agriculture to establish a
Peanut Standards Board (Board) for the
purpose of advising the Secretary on
quality and handling standards for
domestically produced and imported
peanuts. The initial Board was
appointed by the Secretary and
announced on December 5, 2002. USDA
seeks nominations for individuals to be
considered for selection to the Board to
fill two vacant Board positions for the
remainder of a term of office ending
June 30, 2010. The Board consists of 18
members representing producers and
industry representatives.
DATES: Written nominations must be
received on or before September 27,
2007.
ADDRESSES: Nominations should be sent
to Dawana J. Clark, Marketing Order
Administration Branch, Fruit and
Vegetable Programs, AMS, USDA, Unit
155, 4700 River Road, Riverdale, MD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
1308 of the Farm Security and Rural
Investment Act of 2002 (Farm Bill)
requires the Secretary of Agriculture to
establish a Peanut Standards Board
(Board) for the purpose of advising the
Secretary regarding the establishment of
quality and handling standards for all
domestic and imported peanuts
marketed in the United States. The Farm
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:52 Aug 27, 2007
Jkt 211001
Bill requires the Secretary to consult
with the Board before the Secretary
establishes or changes quality and
handling standards for peanuts.
The Farm Bill provides that the Board
consist of 18 members, with three
producers and three industry
representatives from the States specified
in each of the following producing
regions: (a) Southeast (Alabama,
Georgia, and Florida); (b) Southwest
(Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico);
and (c) Virginia/Carolina (Virginia and
North Carolina).
For the initial appointments, the Farm
Bill required the Secretary to stagger the
terms of the members so that: (a) One
producer member and peanut industry
member from each peanut producing
region serves a one-year term; (b) one
producer member and peanut industry
member from each peanut producing
region serves a two-year term; and (c)
one producer member and peanut
industry member from each peanut
producing region serves a three-year
term. The term ‘‘peanut industry
representatives’’ includes, but is not
limited to, representatives of shellers,
manufacturers, buying points, marketing
associations and marketing
cooperatives. The Farm Bill exempted
the appointment of the Board from the
requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act. The initial Board was
appointed by the Secretary and
announced on December 5, 2002.
USDA invites those individuals,
organizations, and groups affiliated with
the categories listed above to nominate
individuals for membership on the
Board. Nominees sought by this action
would fill one vacant producer member
position in each of the Southeast and
Virginia-Carolina producing regions.
The new members would serve for the
remainder of a 3-year term of office
ending June 30, 2010.
Nominees should complete a Peanut
Standards Board Background
Information form and submit it to Mrs.
Clark. Copies of this form may be
obtained at the internet site: https://
www.ams.usda.gov/fv/peanutfarmbill.htm, or from Mrs. Clark. USDA
seeks a diverse group of members
representing the peanut industry. Equal
opportunity practices will be followed
in all appointments to the Board in
accordance with USDA policies. To
ensure that the recommendations of the
Board have taken into account the needs
of the diverse groups within the peanut
industry, membership shall include, to
the extent practicable, individuals with
demonstrated abilities to represent
minorities, women, persons with
disabilities, and limited resource
agriculture producers.
