associations, lobbyist status, and prior involvement with USDA.
    This process is used to ensure that the finest candidates are 
selected to represent the interests of the United States Department of 
Agriculture. Individuals and organizations who wish to nominate experts 
for this or any other USDA advisory committee should submit a letter to 
the Secretary listing these individuals' names and business address, 
phone, and email contact information. These individuals may be 
contacted now or in the future to determine their interest in serving 
as a committee member.
