Title: National Organic Program.
OMB Control Number: 0581–0191.
Summary of Collection: The Organic
Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA),
as amended (7 U.S.C. chapter 94)
(Attachment 1), authorized the Secretary
of Agriculture to establish the National
Organic Program (NOP) and accredit
certifying agents to certify that farms
and businesses meet national organic
standards. Under OFPA, the purpose of
the NOP is to: (1) establish national
standards governing the marketing of
certain agricultural products as
organically produced products; (2)
assure consumers that organically
produced products meet a consistent
standard; and (3) facilitate interstate
commerce in fresh and processed food
that is organically produced (7 U.S.C.
6501).
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collected is used by USDA,
State program governing State officials,
and certifying agents. The information is
used to evaluate compliance with OFPA
and NOP for administering the program,
for management decisions and planning,
for establishing the cost of the program
and to support any administrative and
regulatory actions in response to noncompliance with OFPA. Certifying
agents will have to submit an
application to USDA to become
accredited to certify organic production
and handling operations. Auditors will
review the application, perform site
evaluation and submit reports to USDA,
who will make a decision to grant or
deny accreditation. Producers, handlers
and certifying agents whose operations
are not approved have the right to
mediation and appeal the decision.
Reporting and recordkeeping are
essential to the integrity of the organic
certification system. If the collection of
information was not conducted, the
AMS would not be able to carry out the
intent of Congress as it enforces the
OFPA.
Description of Respondents: Farms;
Business or other for-profit; State, Local
or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 55,285.

to inspect, certify, and verify
agricultural products under such rules
and regulations as the Secretary may
prescribe, including assessment and
