securing from the suppliers, as a

The OFPA
of 1990, as amended (7 U.S.C. 6501 et
seq.), requires the Secretary to establish
an organic certification program for
producers and handlers of agricultural
products that have been produced using
organic methods. In developing this
program, the Secretary is required to
establish an NOSB. The purpose of the
NOSB is to assist in the development of
a proposed National List of Allowed and
Prohibited Substances and to advise the
Secretary on other aspects of the
National Organic Program.
The current NOSB has made
recommendations to the Secretary
regarding the establishment of the initial
organic program. It is anticipated that
the NOSB will continue to make
recommendations on various matters,
including recommendations on
substances it believes should be allowed
or prohibited for use in organic
production and handling.
The NOSB is composed of 15
members; 4 organic producers, 2 organic
handlers, a retailer, 3 environmentalists,
3 public/consumer representatives, a
scientist, and a certifying agent.
Nominations are being sought to fill an
Environmentalist vacancy. Individuals
appointed to this NOSB position must
demonstrate expertise in areas of
environmental protection and resource
conservation as they relate to organic
agricultural production.
To nominate yourself or someone else
please submit, at a minimum, a cover
letter stating your interest and a copy of
the nominee’s resume. You may also
submit a list of endorsements or letters
of recommendation, if desired.
Nominees will be supplied with an
AD–755 background information form
that must be completed and returned to
USDA within 10 working days of its
receipt. Resumes and completed
background information forms are
required for a nominee to receive
consideration for appointment by the
Secretary.
Equal opportunity practices will be
followed in all appointments to the
NOSB in accordance with USDA
policies. To ensure that the members of
the NOSB take into account the needs
of the diverse groups that are served by
the Department, membership on the
NOSB will include, to the extent
practicable, individuals who
demonstrate the ability to represent
