National Organic Program (NOP); Sunset Review (2008)
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking with request for
comments.
SUMMARY: Sunset of the exempted or prohibited use of substances
under the National Organic Program (NOP) is required by the
Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA). This ANPR announces
the sunset of 11 exempted substances and 1 prohibited substance
added to the National List on November 3 and 4, 2003. This ANPR
establishes November 3, 2008, as the date by which the sunset
review and renewal process must be concluded. This advance
notice of proposed rule-making (ANPR) also begins the public
comment process on whether the identified existing exemptions or
prohibitions should be continued. Finally, this ANPR discusses
how the NOP will manage the sunset review and renewal process.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before January 28, 2008.
