National Organic Program: USDA Organic Regulations

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notification of 2017 sunset review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document addresses the 2017 sunset review submitted to 
the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) through the Agricultural 
Marketing Service's (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP) by the 
National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) following the NOSB's April 2015 
and October 2015 meetings. The 2017 sunset review pertains to the 
NOSB's sunset review of 198 substances on the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture's (USDA) National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances 
(National List). Consistent with the NOSB's sunset review, this 
publication provides notice on the renewal of 187 substances on the 
National List, and completes the 2017 National List sunset review for 
these renewed substances.

DATES: This document is effective March 15, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for a copy of this document 
should be sent to Robert Pooler, Standards Division, National Organic 
Program, USDA-AMS-NOP, 1400 Independence Ave. SW., Room 2642-S., Ag 
Stop 0268, Washington, DC 20250-0268. Telephone: (202) 720-3252.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Organic Program (NOP) is 
authorized by the Organic Foods Protection Act (OFPA) of 1990, as 
amended (7 U.S.C. 6501-6522). The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service 
(AMS) administers the NOP. Final regulations implementing the NOP, also 
referred to as the USDA organic regulations (7 CFR 205.1-205.690), were 
published December 21, 2000 (65 FR 80548), and became effective on 
October 21, 2002. Through these regulations, the AMS oversees national 
standards for the production, handling, and labeling of organically 
produced agricultural products. Since becoming effective, the USDA 
organic regulations have been frequently amended, mostly for changes to 
the National List in 7 CFR 205.601-205.606.
    The National List identifies the synthetic substances that may be 
used and the nonsynthetic (natural) substances that may not be used in 
organic production. The National List also identifies synthetic, 
nonsynthetic nonagricultural, and nonorganic agricultural substances 
that may be used in organic handling. The OFPA and the USDA organic 
regulations, as indicated in Sec.  205.105, specifically prohibit the 
use of any synthetic substance in organic production and handling 
unless the synthetic substance is on the National List. Section 205.105 
also requires that any nonorganic agricultural substance and any 
nonsynthetic nonagricultural substance used in organic handling appear 
on the National List.
    As stipulated by OFPA, recommendations to amend the National List 
are developed by the NOSB, operating in accordance with the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2 et seq.), to assist in the 
evaluation of substances to be used or not used in organic production 
and handling, and to advise the Secretary on the USDA organic 
regulations. OFPA also requires a review of all substances included on 
the National List within 5 years of their addition to or renewal on the 
list. During this sunset review, the NOSB considers any new information 
pertaining to a substance's impact on human health and the environment, 
its necessity, and its compatibility with organic production and 
handling. If a listed substance is not reviewed by NOSB and renewed by 
USDA within the five year period, its allowance or

[[Page 14421]]

prohibition on the National List is no longer in effect.
    AMS published a revision of the sunset review process in the 
Federal Register on September 16, 2013 (78 FR 56811). This revised 
process provides public notice on the renewal of National List 
substances. This renewal occurs after the NOSB review.
    At its April 2015 and October 2015 public meetings, the NOSB 
considered 198 National List substances which have a 2017 Sunset date. 
AMS has reviewed and accepted the NOSB 2017 sunset review and 
recommendations. Table 1 lists the 187 synthetic and nonsynthetic 
substances on the National List that are renewed. These substances 
continue to be included on the National List with a new sunset date of 
March 15, 2022. The NOSB also recommended removing eleven substances 
considered during the 2017 sunset review process from the National 
List; these recommendations will be addressed in a separate rulemaking.
