        The
            Field Service, Laboratory and Processing Center Advisory Committees
            meet annually or as needed to review the Council on Dairy Cattle
            Breeding (CDCB) auditing manuals and submit recommendations for revision(s).
            Each advisory committee's minutes are written and made available
            to the service providers for their service area. The minutes are
            also made available to the Audit Review Committee (ARC) for review
            and action and to the QCS Advisory Committee and the National DHIA
            Board of Directors for discussion and comment. 
        The
            recommendation(s) of each advisory committee are only recommendations
            and are not final until approved by the ARC and subsequently the
            Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding. Once approved, the revised auditing
            guidelines are published and available
            for review and/or download.
        It
                is the responsibility of each participating service provider
                to ensure that they are using the most current version of
                the auditing guidelines for their service provider area. 
        Additional
            information on each of these advisory committees and their recent
