4Organic Trade Association’s 2011 Organic 

Industry Survey, http://www.ota.com. 

food sales in 2009. Between 1990 and 

2008, organic food sales historically 

demonstrated a growth rate between 15 

to 24 percent each year. In 2010, organic 

food sales grew 7.7%.4

In addition, USDA has 94 accredited 

certifying agents who provide 

certification services to producers and 

handlers. A complete list of names and 

addresses of accredited certifying agents 

may be found on the AMS NOP Web 

site, at http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop. 

AMS believes that most of these 

accredited certifying agents would be 

considered small entities under the 

criteria established by the SBA. 

D. Paperwork Reduction Act 

No additional collection or 

recordkeeping requirements are 

imposed on the public by this final rule. 

Accordingly, OMB clearance is not 

required by § 350(h) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501, 

et seq., or OMB’s implementing 

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320. 

E. Comments Received on Proposed 

Rule AMS–TM–07–0136 

AMS received nine comments on 

proposed rule AMS–TM–07–0136. 

Comments were received from an 

organic producer, trade associations, 

handlers, and private citizens. Most 

comments expressed positions in 

support of the 12 substances considered 

under this sunset review. One 

individual did not refer to subjects 

within the scope of this rulemaking. 

Some commenters specifically 

supported substances that they promote, 

represent, or rely on. A comment 

submitted in support of Ferric 

phosphate emphasized the importance 

of the substance to reduce snail damage 

on organic crops. A comment received 

on Hydrogen chloride voiced that there 

are no good alternatives to the use of the 

substance for removal of residual lint 

from ginned cottonseed, a process 

necessary to facilitate mechanical 

planting. A comment received on Egg 

white lysozyme stated that the 

substance is essential for organic wine 

production. A comment submitted in 

support of L-Malic acid underscored 

that no alternatives exist for this 

substance and stated its importance as 

a processing aid for pH adjustment in 

organic products. Multiple comments 

received on Microorganisms 

emphasized the critical need for 

microorganisms in organic food 

processing for production of dairy, 

bread, fruit, vegetable, and meat 

products. Comments received in 

support of the allowance for Activated 

charcoal confirmed the necessity of this 

substance as a filtering aid in organic 

processing. Comments submitted 

supporting the allowance for the 

substances Cyclohexylamine, 

Diethylaminoethanol, and 

Octadecylamine, all boiler water 

additives, stated that these substances 

are important for packaging 

sterilization. Comments supporting the 

use of Peracetic acid/Peroxyacetic acid 

for sanitizing food contact surfaces 

indicated that there are no alternative 

materials with equivalent functionality. 

One comment submitted in support of 

Sodium acid pyrophosphate stated that 

without the allowance for this substance 

as a leavening agent, many organic 

baked goods would no longer be 

available because a satisfactory 

alternative does not exist. The same 

commenter also emphasized the 

necessity of Tetrasodium pyrophosphate 

in the manufacturing of meat analog 

products to facilitate proper flow in the 

extrusion process and ensure the 

development of suitable product 

texture. Overall, at least one comment 

was received in favor of renewal for all 

12 substances considered under this 

sunset review. 

Changes Requested But Not Made 

One commenter opposed the 

continued use of six of the 12 

substances: Cyclohexylamine, 

Diethylaminoethanol, Octadecylamine, 

Peracetic acid/Peroxyacetic acid, 

Sodium acid pyrophosphate, and 

Tetrasodium pyrophosphate. The 

commenter based their objection on the 

safety of the substances as described in 

the material safety data sheets (MSDS) 

for each substance and recommended 

removal of these substances from the 

National List. However, the NOSB 

reviewed these substances against the 

evaluation criteria in 7 U.S.C. 6517 and 

6518 of the OFPA, and found that when 

these substances are used as limited by 

the annotations for each substance, they 

do not pose any danger to the 

environment or to manufacturing 

personnel or consumers. The NOSB 

concluded that these substances remain 

essential to organic production since no 

organic alternatives exist and 

recommended that the exemption for 

these substances on the National List 

continue. The NOP concurs with the 

NOSB’s evaluation and 

recommendation of these substances 

and, therefore, does not find that 

sufficient information was provided by 

the commenter to justify the removal of 

these substances from the National List. 

F. Effective Date 

This final rule reflects 

recommendations submitted to the 

Secretary by the NOSB for the purpose 

of fulfilling the requirements of 7 U.S.C. 

6517(e) of the OFPA. Section 7 U.S.C. 

6517(e) requires the NOSB to review 

each substance on the National List 

within 5 years of its publication. The 

substances being reauthorized for use on 

the National List were initially 

authorized for use in organic agriculture 

on September 12, 2006. Because these 

substances are critical to organic 

production and handling operations, 

producers and handlers should be able 

to continue to use these substances for 

a full 5-year period beyond their 

expiration date of September 12, 2011. 

Accordingly, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

553, it is found and determined that 

good cause exists for not postponing the 

effective date of this rule until 30 days 

after publication in the Federal 

Register. This rule shall be effective on 

September 12, 2011.
