Notice and request for comments.

This notice announces the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) intention to revise to the currently approved through October 31, 2027, Advisory Committee and Research and Promotion Background Information AD-755 and Supplemental Lists—Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), Commodity (Research and Promotion and Marketing Order) specific questionnaire. The revised form will be changed to Advisory Committee or Commodity Board Background Information and include the supplemental information that will allow applicants to answer questions in more detail of their foreign citizenship identification (passport number, passport expiration date, and issuing country). In addition, if an applicant is a foreign national, identify if this person resided in the United States (U.S.) for 3 years or more continuous years. The revised form will meet the required U.S. Office of Management and Budget's Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 of standards for maintaining, collecting, and presenting Federal data. The primary objective is to determine the qualifications, suitability and availability of a candidate to serve on advisory committees and/or commodity boards. Lastly, the AD-755 Form and supplemental questionnaire are being digitized to allow applicants to access and complete the application form electronically.
