National Organic Program, Sunset Review (2011)
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking with request for

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 12
exempted substances added to the National List on September 12,
2006. This ANPR establishes September 12, 2011, as the date by
which the sunset review and renewal process must be concluded.
This advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) also begins
the public comment process on whether the identified existing
exemptions should be continued. Finally, this ANPR discusses how
the NOP will manage the sunset review and renewal process.
