The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is soliciting nominations to serve on its Farm, Ranch, and Rural Communities Federal Advisory Committee (FRRCC). Established in 2008, the FRRCC provides independent policy advice, information, and recommendations to the USEPA Administrator on a range of environmental issues and policies that are of importance to agriculture and rural communities.
The FRRCC serves as an advisory body that will address specific topics of unique relevance to agriculture as identified by the Administrator, in such a way as to provide thoughtful advice and useful insights to USEPA as it considers environmental policies and programs that affect and engage agriculture and rural communities.
Members will be selected from a variety of relevant sectors. Members may represent farmers, ranchers, and rural communities; allied industries, including farm groups, rural suppliers, marketers, and processors; academia and researchers; State, local, and tribal government; and non-governmental organizations.
To be considered for an appointment to the FRRCC, applications should be submitted to FRRCC@epa.gov by March 2, 2026. For more information on how to apply, please visit https://www.epa.gov/faca/frrcc.
