[Docket No. 94-007N]

 

Membership on the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological 
Criteria for Foods; Nominations

    Notice is hereby given of the Department's intent to solicit 
nominations for membership on the National Advisory Committee on 
Microbiological Criteria for Foods. This Committee was established in 
April 1988, as a result of a recommendation in the 1985 report of the 
National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Committee on Food Protection, 
Subcommittee on Microbiological Criteria, titled ``An Evaluation of the 
Role of Microbiological Criteria for Foods.''
    The Committee provides advice and recommendations to the 
Secretaries of Agriculture and Health and Human Services concerning the 
development of microbiological criteria by which the safety and 
wholesomeness of food can be assessed, including criteria for 
microorganisms that indicate whether food has been processed using good 
manufacturing processes.
    Nominations for membership are being sought from individuals with 
scientific expertise in epidemiology, food science, microbiology, 
packaging, pathology, public health, toxicology, and other relevant 
disciplines.
    Appointment(s) to the Committee will be made by the Secretary of 
Agriculture after consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services. Nominees will be considered without discrimination for any 
reason such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or 
marital status. Because of the complexity of the issues to be 
addressed, it is anticipated that the full Committee will meet semi-
annually and subcommittees will meet as deemed necessary.
    Interested persons are invited to submit a typed resume to The 
Office of the Administrator, Food Safety and Inspection Service, room 
2151, South Agriculture Building, 14th and Independence Avenue, SW., 
Washington, DC 20250. Nominations for membership must be postmarked no 
later than March 31, 1994. For additional information please contact 
Mr. Craig Fedchock at the above address, or by telephone on (202) 720-
9150.

    Done at Washington, DC, on: March 7, 1994.
Terry L. Medley,
Acting Administrator.
