WASHINGTON, August 5, 2004 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced today that
nominees are being sought for membership on the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection (NACMPI).
Committee members advise and make recommendations to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ann M. Veneman on inspection issues.
Membership is drawn from a broad range of groups interested in food safety including producers, processors, exporters
and importers of meat and poultry products, as well as those in academia, federal and state government officials and
consumers. All of these groups are encouraged to nominate candidates as it is important for the NACMPI to represent
diverse constituencies. Committee appointments are made by the Secretary.
The NACMPI was established in 1971 to assist the Secretary of Agriculture on food safety concerns and policy issues
that affect the USDA. The committee consists of 16 to 18 members who meet at least twice annually and are expected
to serve a two-year term. No member may serve on the NACMPI for more than three consecutive terms.
Names of nominees and their typed curricula vitae, or resume, should be sent to Dr. Barbara J. Masters, Acting
Administrator, Food Safety and Inspection Service, USDA, Room 405-Aerospace Building, 1400 Independence Avenue,
SW., Washington, DC 20250-3700. The application must be postmarked no later than September 5, 2004.
Applications are also available online at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/OPPDE/NACMPI/Nominations.htm. Interested
persons who desire more information should contact Sonya L. West, Advisory Committee Specialist, at (202) 690-1079, or by e-mail at sonya.west@usda.fsis.gov.
