AGENCY:
This document announces the
renewal of substances listed on the
National List of Allowed and Prohibited
Substances (National List) within the
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
(USDA) organic regulations. This
document reflects the outcome of the
2023 and 2024 sunset review processes
and addresses recommendations
submitted to the Secretary of
Agriculture (Secretary), through the
USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service
(AMS), by the National Organic
Standards Board (NOSB).

SUMMARY:
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Background
On December 21, 2000, the Secretary
established the Agricultural Marketing
Service’s (AMS) National Organic
Program (NOP) and the USDA organic
regulations (65 FR 80547, December 21,
2000). Within the USDA organic
regulations (7 CFR part 205) is the
National List of Allowed and Prohibited
Substances (or ‘‘National List’’). The
National List identifies the synthetic
substances that may be used and the
nonsynthetic (natural) substances that
may not be used in organic crop and
livestock production. It also identifies
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:10 Apr 13, 2023
Jkt 259001
the nonorganic substances that may be
used in or on processed organic
products.
The Organic Foods Production Act of
1990 (OFPA), as amended (7 U.S.C.
6501–6524), and the USDA organic
regulations specifically prohibit the use
of any synthetic substance in organic
production and handling unless the
synthetic substance is on the National
List (§§ 205.601, 205.603 and
205.605(b)). Section 205.105 also
requires that any nonorganic
agricultural substance and any
nonsynthetic nonagricultural substance
used in organic handling be on the
National List (§§ 205.605(a) and
205.606).
The OFPA at 7 U.S.C. 6518 authorizes
the NOSB, operating in accordance with
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(section 1 et seq., 5 U.S.C. App.2), to
evaluate substances for organic
production and handling and to advise
the Secretary on the USDA organic
regulations. The OFPA ‘‘sunset
provision’’ (7 U.S.C. 6517(e)) requires
review of all substances included on the
National List within five years of their
addition to or renewal on the list.
As required in OFPA, the NOSB
considered any new information about a
substance’s impact on human health
and the environment, its necessity, and
its consistency with organic production
and handling. The NOSB then voted on
whether to remove the substance from
the National List, with a 2⁄3 majority
needed to recommend removal of a
substance.
As delegated by the Secretary, AMS
evaluates the NOSB’s reviews and
recommendations for compliance with
the National List substance evaluation
criteria in the OFPA at 7 U.S.C. 6518(m)
and other federal statutes or regulations.
AMS also considers public comments
submitted in association with the sunset
review process, as described in the
notice published on September 16, 2013
(78 FR 56811).
AMS published notices in the Federal
Register announcing the NOSB
meetings (Spring 2021 & 2022 and Fall
2021 & 2022) and invited public
comments on the 2023 and 2024 sunset
review of the substances included in the
tables below. AMS also hosted public
webinars prior to these NOSB meetings
to provide additional opportunities for
public comment. At these public
meetings, the NOSB reviewed

substances scheduled to sunset from the
National List and recommended that
they either be removed or remain on the
National List.
AMS has reviewed and accepted all
NOSB sunset review recommendations
for substances with sunset dates in 2023
and 2024. AMS is renewing the listings
of these substances until 2028 and 2029,
respectively.1 AMS determined that the
substance allowances listed in this
notice are still necessary because of the
unavailability of organic forms or
wholly natural substitutes for the
specified uses (section 6517(c)(1)(A)(ii)).
The renewal of these substances will
avoid potential disruptions to the
organic industry that may otherwise
result from removal from the National
List. AMS also has determined that the
prohibited nonsynthetic substances
listed in this notice should remain
prohibited because their use remains
inconsistent with organic production
(section 6517(c)(2)(A)(ii)).
In 2016, the NOSB passed a proposal
to redistribute material reviews across
several years. Because most materials
were added to the National List when
the organic regulations published, the
majority of sunset reviews occurred in
the same year. This resulted in an
inefficient use of resources and time. To
adjust this, the NOSB and NOP
redistributed the National List
substances more evenly over a five-year
span. To maintain this distribution,
some substances in this notice will have
a sunset date less than five years from
their current date. This document
covers the last year of this
redistribution.2
In addition to the substances in the
tables below, this document renews
beta-carotene extract color, included on
the National List at § 205.606(d)(2). This
substance currently has a sunset date of
May 29, 2023, but was reviewed early
by the NOSB in 2020 along with the
other allowed agricultural, non-organic
colors. AMS discussed these meetings
and renewals in the 2021 and 2022
sunset renewals (August 3, 2021; 86 FR
41699). This document renews betacarotene extract color and establishes a

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document announces the renewal of substances listed on
the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances (National List)
within the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) organic regulations.
This document reflects the outcome of the 2023 and 2024 sunset review
processes and addresses recommendations submitted to the Secretary of
Agriculture (Secretary), through the USDA's Agricultural Marketing
Service (AMS), by the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB).
DATES: Applicable May 29, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jared Clark, Standards Division,
Telephone: (202) 720-3252; Fax: (202) 260-9151.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 21, 2000, the Secretary established the Agricultural
Marketing Service's (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP) and the USDA
organic regulations (65 FR 80547, December 21, 2000). Within the USDA
organic regulations (7 CFR part 205) is the National List of Allowed
and Prohibited Substances (or ``National List''). The National List
identifies the synthetic substances that may be used and the
nonsynthetic (natural) substances that may not be used in organic crop
and livestock production. It also identifies the nonorganic substances
that may be used in or on processed organic products.
The Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA), as amended (7
U.S.C. 6501-6524), and the USDA organic regulations specifically
prohibit the use of any synthetic substance in organic production and
handling unless the synthetic substance is on the National List
(Sec. Sec. 205.601, 205.603 and 205.605(b)). Section 205.105 also
requires that any nonorganic agricultural substance and any
nonsynthetic nonagricultural substance used in organic handling be on
the National List (Sec. Sec. 205.605(a) and 205.606).
The OFPA at 7 U.S.C. 6518 authorizes the NOSB, operating in
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (section 1 et seq.,
5 U.S.C. App.2), to evaluate substances for organic production and
handling and to advise the Secretary on the USDA organic regulations.
The OFPA ``sunset provision'' (7 U.S.C. 6517(e)) requires review of all
substances included on the National List within five years of their
addition to or renewal on the list.
As required in OFPA, the NOSB considered any new information about
a substance's impact on human health and the environment, its
necessity, and its consistency with organic production and handling.
The NOSB then voted on whether to remove the substance from the
National List, with a \2/3\ majority needed to recommend removal of a
substance.
As delegated by the Secretary, AMS evaluates the NOSB's reviews and
recommendations for compliance with the National List substance
evaluation criteria in the OFPA at 7 U.S.C. 6518(m) and other federal
statutes or regulations. AMS also considers public comments submitted
in association with the sunset review process, as described in the
notice published on September 16, 2013 (78 FR 56811).
AMS published notices in the Federal Register announcing the NOSB
meetings (Spring 2021 & 2022 and Fall 2021 & 2022) and invited public
comments on the 2023 and 2024 sunset review of the substances included
in the tables below. AMS also hosted public webinars prior to these
NOSB meetings to provide additional opportunities for public comment.
At these public meetings, the NOSB reviewed substances scheduled to
sunset from the National List and recommended that they either be
removed or remain on the National List.
AMS has reviewed and accepted all NOSB sunset review
recommendations for substances with sunset dates in 2023 and 2024. AMS
is renewing the listings of these substances until 2028 and 2029,
respectively.\1\ AMS determined that the substance allowances listed in
this notice are still necessary because of the unavailability of
organic forms or wholly natural substitutes for the specified uses
(section 6517(c)(1)(A)(ii)). The renewal of these substances will avoid
potential disruptions to the organic industry that may otherwise result
from removal from the National List. AMS also has determined that the
prohibited nonsynthetic substances listed in this notice should remain
prohibited because their use remains inconsistent with organic
production (section 6517(c)(2)(A)(ii)).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 2016, the NOSB passed a proposal to redistribute material
reviews across several years. Because most materials were added to the
National List when the organic regulations published, the majority of
sunset reviews occurred in the same year. This resulted in an
inefficient use of resources and time. To adjust this, the NOSB and NOP
redistributed the National List substances more evenly over a five-year
span. To maintain this distribution, some substances in this notice
will have a sunset date less than five years from their current date.
This document covers the last year of this redistribution.\2\

\2\ National Organic Standards Board, formal recommendation,
sunset review efficient work load reorganization, November 18, 2016,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to the substances in the tables below, this document
renews beta-carotene extract color, included on the National List at
Sec. 205.606(d)(2). This substance currently has a sunset date of May
29, 2023, but was reviewed early by the NOSB in 2020 along with the
other allowed agricultural, non-organic colors. AMS discussed these
meetings and renewals in the 2021 and 2022 sunset renewals (August 3,
2021; 86 FR 41699). This document renews beta-carotene extract color
and establishes a
[[Page 22894]]
new sunset date for this substance of March 15, 2027, to match the
sunset dates of the other colors.
The following tables list specific substance allowances and
prohibitions renewed by this notice.
