Census Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics; Notice of 
Renewal

    In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, 5 U.S.C. app. 2, (1973), and after consultation with the General 
Services Administration, the Secretary of Commerce has determined that 
the renewal of the Census Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics 
is in the public interest in connection with the performance of duties 
imposed on the Department by law.
    The Committee was established July 16, 1962. It was initially 
chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act in January 1973. The 
Committee's purpose is to advise the Director, Bureau of the Census, on 
the conduct of the periodic censuses and surveys of agriculture and 
related surveys and the kind of information to obtain from respondents 
associated with agriculture production. The Committee also prepares 
recommendations regarding the content of agriculture reports, and 
presents the views and needs for data of major suppliers and users of 
agriculture statistics. The Committee draws on the experience and 
expertise of its members to form a collective judgment concerning 
agriculture data collected and the statistics the Census Bureau issues.
    The committee will function solely as an advisory body and will 
comply fully with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. 
The advisory committee shall consist of 21 member organizations. Each 
of the member organizations shall appoint a representative to the 
committee, subject to the concurrence of the Director, Bureau of the 
Census.
    The committee shall report to the Director, Bureau of the Census.
    The Department of Commerce will file copies of the committees' 
renewal charters with appropriate committees in Congress.
