National Organic Program: 2023 and 
2024 Sunset Review and Substance Renewals 
AGENCY : Agricultural Marketing Service, 
USDA. 
ACTION : 2023 and 2024 sunset review 
and renewals. 
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.

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 (§§ 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 
2⁄3majority 
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.
1AMS 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.

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 beta- carotene extract color and establishes a

AGENCY : Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA), DOT. 
ACTION : Final rule; request for 
comments. 
SUMMARY : The FAA is superseding 
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022–27– 07, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 747–400 and 747–8 series airplanes. AD 2022–27–07 required inspecting for wear of the transfer pump housing inlet check valves and transfer pump motor impeller inlet adapters for the horizontal stabilizer fuel tank and doing corrective actions, if necessary. This AD was prompted by the discovery that certain airplanes were incorrectly included in the applicability of AD 2022–27–07. This AD continues to require inspecting for wear of the transfer pump housing inlet check valves and transfer pump motor impeller inlet adapters for the horizontal stabilizer fuel tank and doing corrective actions, if necessary. This AD also removes certain airplanes from the applicability, redefines the definition of an ‘‘activated’’ horizontal stabilizer fuel tank, and limits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. 
DATES : This AD is effective May 1, 2023. 
The Director of the Federal Register 
approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 13, 2023 (87 FR 80028, December 29, 2022). The FAA must receive comments on 
this AD by May 30, 2023. 
ADDRESSES : You may send comments, 
using the procedures found in 14 CFR 11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods: 
•Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 
regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

docket at regulations.gov by searching 
for and locating Docket No. FAA–2023– 0925; or in person at Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains this final rule, any comments received, and other information. The street address for Docket Operations is listed above.
