**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

AMS published the USDA organic regulations final rule in the Federal Register on December 21, 2000 (65 FR 80637), which established the USDA National Organic Program (NOP).

This document makes these technical corrections which mostly involve word changes, citation changes and updates to program information. List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 205
