NACMPI Membership and Current Membership List

Membership in the Committee has been broadened to provide greater representation from state and consumer interests; this will result in more substantial contributions to USDA's regulatory policy development. The Committee will serve as a forum for significant sharing of ideas and insight about how our regulatory system can best serve both consumers and industry. The public is invited to participate in this process by making comments and suggestions in writing or by attending one of the meetings.
