SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD 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 80548, 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
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.
chapter 94), 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 (7 CFR 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 National Organic Standards Board
(‘‘NOSB’’ or ‘‘Board’’), 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 5
years of their addition to, or renewal on,
the list. A list of all National List sunset
dates is posted online for public access
in the ‘‘NOSB Work Agenda’’ document
on the NOP’s NOSB web page, https://
www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/
organic/nosb.
As required by the OFPA, during a
sunset review, the NOSB considers 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 votes on
proposals to remove individual
substances 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
PO 00000

notice published on September 16, 2013
(78 FR 56811).
Review of Sunset Substances
AMS published notices in the Federal
Register announcing the Spring 2023
(88 FR 9426, February 14, 2023) and
Fall 2023 (88 FR 37505, June 08, 2023)
NOSB meetings and invited public
comments on the 2025 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
2025. AMS is renewing the listings of
these substances until 2030. 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 (7
U.S.C. 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 natural
substances listed in this notice should
remain prohibited because their use
remains inconsistent with organic
production (7 U.S.C. 6517(c)(2)(A)(ii)).
Sunset Renewals
This document renews 46 of the 47
substances in this notice for another 5
years past their existing sunset date of
June 22, 2025.
One of the forty-seven substances
renewed in this notice currently has an
existing sunset date of December 7,
2025. This notice renews tamarind seed
gum another 4 years and 6–1/2 months
past its existing sunset date of December
7, 2025, to establish a new sunset date
for this substance that matches the
sunset dates of the other substances
renewed in this notice.
This document establishes a new
sunset date for the following substances
as outlined in the header for table 1.

National Organic Program: 2025 Sunset Review and Substance
Renewals
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
ACTION: 2025 sunset review and substance renewals.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document announces the renewal of 47 substances listed on
the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances within the U.S.
Department of Agriculture's organic regulations. This document reflects
the outcome of the 2025 sunset review processes and addresses
recommendations submitted to the Secretary of Agriculture, through the
USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service, by the National Organic
Standards Board.
DATES: Applicable June 22, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jared Clark, National List Manager,
Standards Division, National Organic Program, Phone: (202) 720-3252;
Email: [email protected].
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 80548, 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. chapter 94), 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 (7 CFR
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 National Organic Standards
Board (``NOSB'' or ``Board''), 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 5 years of their addition to, or
renewal on, the list. A list of all National List sunset dates is
posted online for public access in the ``NOSB Work Agenda'' document on
the NOP's NOSB web page, https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/organic/nosb.
As required by the OFPA, during a sunset review, the NOSB considers
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 votes on proposals to remove individual
substances 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).
Review of Sunset Substances
AMS published notices in the Federal Register announcing the Spring
2023 (88 FR 9426, February 14, 2023) and Fall 2023 (88 FR 37505, June
08, 2023) NOSB meetings and invited public comments on the 2025 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 2025. AMS is
renewing the listings of these substances until 2030. 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 (7 U.S.C. 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 natural
substances listed in this notice should remain prohibited because their
use remains inconsistent with organic production (7 U.S.C.
6517(c)(2)(A)(ii)).
Sunset Renewals
This document renews 46 of the 47 substances in this notice for
another 5 years past their existing sunset date of June 22, 2025.
One of the forty-seven substances renewed in this notice currently
has an existing sunset date of December 7, 2025. This notice renews
tamarind seed gum another 4 years and 6-1/2 months past its existing
sunset date of December 7, 2025, to establish a new sunset date for
this substance that matches the sunset dates of the other substances
renewed in this notice.
This document establishes a new sunset date for the following
substances as outlined in the header for table 1.
